Caffeine
is extremely stable during the roasting process. A change in
caffeine depends on how you measure your coffee.
There is an estimated
ninety bean difference between a pound of dark and light roast
coffee, with the dark roast higher. During the roasting process,
a bean loses its mass. The density of the bean changes; beans
that are roasted longer are less dense. That is why you have
more beans by mass of dark roasts.
If you measure your
coffee by scoops, light roasted coffee will have more caffeine,
since the beans are denser than a darker roast. However, if you
weigh your scoops, darker roasts will have more caffeine,
because there is less mass. Depending on how ground coffee is
measured, there is only a minimal variance in caffeine content
with dark and light roasts. Unlike Marijuana, people have died
from caffeine overdose.
