Do Light Roasted and Dark Roasted Coffees Have Different Caffiene Levels?

Although dark coffee may taste stronger and some people may tell you that light roasted coffee preserves more caffeine the truth is that neither style of roasting reaches a high enough temperature to destroy caffeine. That is - the caffeine content of each is more or less the same. 

The darker the roast however the more water is forced out and the lighter the bean becomes (while maintaining the same amount of caffeine) so it could be argued that there’s more caffeine per weight in darker roasts than light.

Whatever the case may be, we will leave those debates to someone else. What we really concentrate on is how delicious it is, and our goal is to make, for you, the best coffee drink possible.
