For less caffeine, try Caffè Americano style espresso from the stove top moka pot

The whole 12 oz. fits perfectly in one of these from 2009.
The story told is that US GIs in Italy during WWII would dilute the espresso offered with hot water to suit their tastes. This recipe basically accomplishes the same thing.

6 oz. water in the reservoir of a three cup maker
10 grams fine espresso in the filter basket (about a third of the normal amount, which is 25 to 30 grams)

6 oz. milk
1 tsp. sugar

Brew the espresso on the stove top. You can take it just like it is, black, or with sugar, and/or with a little half and half. It's great if you are in a hurry.

Or . . .

Heat the milk in a microwave a minute and a half or so and froth. Let the milk rest in the frother a minute or two to allow the foam on top to separate from the warm milk below.

Add the milk slowly to a mug to dissolve the sugar, then gently tap the foam into the mug. Then add the brewed espresso to the mug, "staining" the milk and foam however much or little you like. 

A little stain is the way I like it, uh huh.

I use one of these from Harold Import Co. to froth the milk.

Happiness is seeing the New England Patriots down 3-28 in the third quarter win in OT 34-28

Tom Brady becomes the first quarterback to win five Super Bowl rings in an amazing come from behind performance. The Atlanta Falcons simply melted away after dominating the game into the early third quarter.

Brady's wife was pretty happy too:
