Though darker roasted beans have a more intense flavor, they actually have less caffeine than light roast. This is because the longer the beans are roasted, the more caffeine burns off. Light roasts can have 60% more caffeine than dark roasts when measured by volume!
What coffee has highest caffeine?
The world’s highest caffeine coffee is Black Label by Devil Mountain. At over 1,500 milligrams of caffeine per serving, this coffee is not for the faint of heart.
Why does light roast coffee have more caffeine?
Because light roast beans are smaller due to less time in contact with the heat of the roaster, you’ll be measuring more coffee, and therefore, getting more caffeine in your cup.
