I did a tour at Kauai Coffee a couple years ago, and they said that darker roasts have less caffeine because the roasting burns off more.
They suggested light/medium for a pick me up in the morning, and darker roasts later in the day.

Thanks for info. Makes more sense now.

I grew up in a household where you would be struck about your head and body if you brought any coffee into the house other than Community Dark Roast. I now buy the Great Value brand Colombian. I can honestly tell no difference between caffeine content or taste, for that matter.
Walmart brand costs about half as much, though. I’m sorry, Paw.

No, it actually has more oil. Blonde coffee has the most caffeine all things being equal.

I've also always heard that the difference isn't really perceptible to most people.

No idea on caffeine content but only queers drink light roast coffee
Posted on 4/15/21 at 10:16 am to McLaggen
Lighter the roast the more caffeine generally

I'll be a snob here, but most of the packaged coffee like that is already around 3-6 months old so unless flavors are added will generally taste the same assuming same area of the world.

Let’s dispel the most common myth right off the bat: A dark-roasted bean contains more caffeine than a light-roasted bean due to its stronger flavor. Not true. Actually, the caffeine content in both is virtually the same. An opposing view held by many is that the darker the roast level, the lower a bean’s caffeine since much of it is lost or "burned off" during roasting. Yet caffeine changes very little during a roast. Any significant variation would require a roasting temperature above 600° F. Since temperatures rarely exceed 470° F, a bean’s caffeine content remains relatively static across all roast levels.

Yeah, I don’t care about the freshness of my coffee enough to do the work necessary to get the freshest or pay that premium price.
To each his own, though. Each person’s answer is the right answer for them.

CC medium roast has the most caffeine. I get between roast if I can find it, which is half medium, have dark.
Posted on 4/15/21 at 10:22 am to McLaggen
It's less. And less acidic.
I only go dark. Doesn't upset my stomach.

There’s a myth out there that darker roast coffee offers more caffeine but I’m starting to think other wise. Light roast supposedly offers the same, if not more, of a boost and tastes sweeter. The difference in roast just determines how bold or sweet it is. I always thought the roast determined how much caffeine. What is y’all’s experience?
quote:
One way to think about this question is: Do caffeine levels change inside the beans during roasting? On this, the science is clear: caffeine is very stable through the roasting process. You’d have to roast it past turning it into charcoal before caffeine would chemically change, beyond even the darkest of dark roasts you could find. Point is, even though the individual beans go through physical and chemical changes while it’s roasted, the amount of caffeine a bean starts with is generally the amount it ends up with. If you’re talking about individual beans, the caffeine level is the same whether it is light or dark roasted.
quote:
According to this research, dark roast does in fact yield more caffeine than light roast. This is consistently what Han found across experiments, and it makes sense, though not for the reasons one might think. A darker roasted coffee is less dense, so by the bean, it has lower mass than a light roasted coffee. All other things being equal, if you grind and weigh out a certain number of grams of coffee, there are more beans involved when using dark roast. It's no different than if we ate a pound of fresh grapes versus a pound of dried raisins—far more sugar is consumed in the dried, condensed raisin equation.
quote:
So it's not necessarily that “dark roast has more caffeine”—caffeine is stable across roasts—but rather, dark roast is less dense. Since the caffeine is so stable, the difference mostly boils down to density.
quote:
What I think it’s interesting to note is that when you look at Han’s data, the caffeine difference between the lightest and darkest coffees was around 9% when you measured by the scoop, but about 32% when she measured by weight. That's a big margin! While it’s the density difference between the dark and light roast coffee that gives us the difference in caffeine content, the fact that a scoop of dark roast has less mass than a scoop of light roast actually reduces the net caffeine difference in the scoops-and-spoons scenario. So while darker roast does have more caffeine, that difference is more pronounced when you measure by weight than if you’re scooper.
Its all about the density my baws
Does Dark Roast Coffee Really Have More Caffeine?

Can’t do it... Community Dark Roast is a must have... price has rose by 30¢ for at least the last ten years though ...

So for people that measure out their coffee beans by weight. Dark roast has more caffeine because you use more beans to get the same weight due to water loss during the roast.
Measuring by volume is all over the place and doesn't seem to vary much between light roast and dark.
quote:Wait until you see it on sale at Albertsons, Rouses, or local grocery, and stock up. You can sometimes find the gold bag Community for $4-5/bag, though I haven't seen it that low in a while.

Most people can’t. Something like only 15% of the population can. Some of the few who can make big $$$ blind slurping coffee for coffee companies and can tell you what coffee beans were used to make it/their place of origin.
Community knows they can sell their coffee in the south just by using their name. They’re trying to branch out west and north and were starting to do so before covid. Their beans are Arabica as opposed to robusta and can cost quite a bit more depending on origin country. The Rainforest Alliance was also started to prevent people from tearing down more of the Amazon to make coffee farms, so Community didn’t want to get a bad rep and had to pay more for beans, which is also one of the things that drives their prices up

Mentioned already but technically the longer you roast the bean, the less caffeine it has. But by the time the coffee is made, there isn't a huge difference. But a light roast usually has a tad more.

This is wrong apparently according to study above.
Eta: well apparently after reading the study above I am wrong. Learn something new everyday.

It's not the roast but the extraction method. Cold brew has a higher caffein content than Hot coffee. This is because cold brew requires the coffee to soak for ~24 which allows more time for the caffein to enter the water.

Depends. I was told….
Dark roast has more caffeine because the coffee is denser when ground
Light roast has more caffeine per bean
So an ounce of ground dark roast has more caffeine than light roast
