Dark Roast Coffee

The darker the bean – the less the caffeine!

Did you know darker roasted coffee has LESS caffeine? A dark roasted bean is roasted for a longer time – burning off some of its weight in caffeine – so pound for pound a light roast will have MORE caffeine than the dark one. An espresso has less caffeine than a regular cup of coffee too – that’s because the espresso is extracted in about half a minute while coffee grounds are in contact with that hot water for much longer – leaving more caffeine in the finished product.
