re: Espresso caffeine content

Welcome David.

Sounds about right.

I do want to make a comment on a very fine point. You said: "Most supermarket and office coffees are primarily cheap, caffeine-riddled robustas from Brazil." In the last handful of years the robusta vs. arabica distinction has hit middle America and many supermarket coffees are now 100% arabica. It's still cheap garbage coffee but it is cheap arabica garbage coffee. I think it's a good selling point when all a person knows is "arabica = good".
As a side note the worse of the robusta actually comes from Vietnam and not Brazil. At least with Brazil there is some high quality arabica coming out of the country. Vietnam is pretty much a coffee wasteland as far as I can tell.

Thanks for the comments. They are right on the head and worth a modification to the main article.
