Re: More Fibre in Coffe than Orange Juice.
Hi all
All I can say is Ummmm .... medical research results again.
I would never attempt to get my dietary fibre (soluble or not) from my espressos. I think those researchers have lost the plot or the Diabetes site has been selective in their extraction of paragraphs. But then again what shall I do; try and look up the original scientific paper or go and make myself a shot from MT Bin 478 roasted by nunu. The later wins.
I just feel like being a Skeptic tonight :-)

And if one wants to get soluble dietary fibre from your espresso machine you will need to give that all-bran an extra grind ... its too course for the PF as is :-)

Re: More Fibre in Coffe than Orange Juice.
Thats great to know, thanks for posting. According to the article a cup of filter coffee (250mL @ .47g/100mL) has about 1.2g of fibre, about the same as 100g of lettuce. Perhaps the fibre content explains why coffee makes you feel full, whereas tea doesnt have the same satiating effect. Ditch the celery and pickup the plunger!Unfortunately espresso doesnt have much fibre according to the article - only about 0.2g per shot (30mL @ .65g/100mL). But given that about ninety-something percent of espressos are thin and underextracted, chances are they were using an underextracted shot in the trials. A real, coffee snob espresso probably has more fibre :P
