Do you think its possible espresso - being made with heat and pressure, as opposed to coffee - being made with only really just heat, produces different effects related to the composition of the chemicals present in the resulting liquid?...
I think it is possible, I can see oils on the surface of the milk foam when there is a good extraction. I'll usually express the shot directly into a glass of steamed milk- less oils clinging to the sides of a shot glass that way. Perhaps there are some substances in an espresso shot that get squeezed and steamed out of the beans that are not present in a brewed cup. I prefer the taste of espresso over brewed, the same goes for the subjective feel of the effects of espresso over brewed coffee.. maybe less caffeine jitters but more soothing/thoughtful?
