I've just turned my hands into pin-cushions in the name of science. For my readings I waited till my post-prandial breakfast spike (which had peaked at 7.9mmol/L & was just on the way down). Here are the results of a post-double espresso this morning:
Pre-coffee - 7.5
10 minutes post - 6.5 [still on the post-breakfast decline]
30 minutes post - 7.7
45 minutes post - 6.9
1hr post - 6.3
According to 23andme.com I'm a fast metaboliser of caffeine, and this would seem to bear this out, given a peak after just half an hour. I'm actually made up, as I thought I'd have to quit until today.
