Which one has more caffeine dark roast coffee or regular?!


Question:

Which one has more caffeine dark roast coffee or regular?

I was told that the dark roast loses some caffeine during dark roasting process.


Answers:
Dark roasts have less caffeine than light roasts. Caffiene evaporates when it is heated at longer temperatures, which means the longer beans are roasted, the less caffeine they have.

This also means that Arabica Beans(ones that you find at speciatly coffee shops-ie. Starbuck's and Caribou) have less caffeine than Robusta Beans(commercial coffees like Folger's.)

You are correct, the lighter roast have more caffeine.

thats what the guy at Starfucks told me. My friend that works in a coffee shop says there is no diffrence. So i am not sure.
