This one has me scratching my head, though (maybe too early in the morning? ) - But I don't understand the correlation between caffeine and calories. Does caffeine intake burn calories?

Always helpful for reinforcement of the concept that espresso does not have "more caffeine" than coffee. Water that moves through grinds at 15psi does NOT pick up caffeine like american drip coffee does. This is great.

This design is counter intuitive since there aren't negative values of caffeine or calories.

What energy drink to you refer to, I'd be very interested. Interesting, now I can clearly see what gives the most bang for the “buck”.

As is, they create arbitrary quadrants and miss the chance to embphasize the point (0, 0). The scales should be at left and lower margins.

So why big difference in caffeine content? EnergyFiend. has a single shot espresso at around 58 mgs up to 185mg. I used the lower figure. http://www.energyfiend.com/caffeine-content/espresso StarBucks rate their own Venti American as having 300mg of caffeine. Maybe that's why they taste so good. http://www.starbucks.co.uk/en-GB/_Favorite+Beverages/Beverage+Nutrition.htm. Hence the disparity in the diagram. thanks all for your comments
