Today's Fact
- May 09, 2008 -

Q: True or False: there is more caffeine in dark-roasted coffee than in light-roasted coffee?

A: True...well, sort of. The amount of caffeine per bean remains the same regardless of roast, so in that sense the answer is no. However, most caf�s measure their coffee grounds prior to brewing by weight rather than volume. Dark-roasted beans weigh less. Since more are required to achieve proper brew weights, the result is that there is often more caffeine per batch of commercially brewed dark-roasted coffee.
