6/17/2023 0 Comments Coffee buzz versus other caffeine![]() ![]() During the roasting process, a bean loses its mass. So, what does this mean? You should only buy dark roasts because you get more beans for your buck? (Don’t worry I didn’t count an entire pound to figure that out). ![]() There is an estimated ninety bean difference between a pound of dark and light roast coffee, with the dark roast winning the count. Only a two bean difference, big deal, right? Well, actually yes, because if there is a two bean variance with just ten grams how many beans separate a pound of light and dark? I took exactly ten grams of both a light and dark roast.Ĭounting the beans of each, I had sixty-five light roast beans and sixty-seven dark roast beans. There can be a change in caffeine depending on how you measure your coffee. Yet, it’s not complete madness the notion of some sort of difference in caffeine levels. Comparing our Hola® and 454 Horse Power® blends, beans from each have a very similar percentage of caffeine. If you went bean for bean with a light roast versus a dark roast, each would have relatively the same level of caffeine. The truth is that caffeine is extremely stable during the roasting process. I naively assumed caffeine was burnt off during roasting (you can rest assured to know I’m not a Roaster). Under the impression it was actually light roasts that contained more. I’ve heard countless times people declaring to only drink dark roasts because they have higher levels of caffeine. So which is it? Which type of roast contains more caffeine? ![]()
