Ray: So, is coffee maker coffee with a filter less likely to cause problems? What do you think the filter paper is trapping? How about espresso that is made quickly with high pressure steam-- my cappucino maker directions stated that espresso is supposed to have less caffeine than regularly brewed coffee. Is it the caffeine content that is the culprit? How about the comment made recently on this list -- someone stated that coffee "beans" are the seeds of the coffee plant, and not really beans. They look like beans to me. Just wondering...
