Thank you.This was really helpful. Im 18 years old and I lift weights almost everyday. I knew caffeine is an energy booster, but I thought that they all had the same effect. Ive read up to 400mg is the re ommended dose for weightlifters. So I guess now I have a much wiser site on which coffees I should get. Thanks

Darker roasts actually have less caffeine than lighter roasts. As the beans are roasted, they become darker. As this happens, more caffeine is expelled as well. In fact, many decaf roasts are over-roasted to remove as much caffeine as possible. You’ll see that decaf roasts are consistently darker in color and less shiny (oil is removed through roasting as well).

I’m surprised to hear that a doppio espresso has less caffeine than a drip coffee.

Thank you for this. I’m allergic to caffeine and thought I was going mad that after a Starbucks Hot Chocolate I would be in a real bad way for the rest of the day. I guess at least I know now that Starbucks is not an option for me.

Wow, Steve, are you a doctor or something? What an educated post! I’m so happy to find someone out there who’s aware that darker roasts aren’t more caffeinated than lighter ones!
Thank you for providing so much useful information.

I am looking for caffeine content in the roasted coffee beans. I assume this will vary by variety of coffee bean, type of roast, and other factors.

Thank you Steve for you post. I have chrons and now knowing that my 20oz expresso decaf times two a day might be partially causing periodic flare ups, I need to choose what’s more important. Tough choice as I love my coffee. Thanks again for taking the time to being so thorough!
