@helenS interesting theory, i never thought of that, but then the ultimate roasting would produce decaf, which it doesn't.
Just to be sure I did google with AI:
No, dark roast coffee does not generally have more caffeine than light roast coffee.
The caffeine content of coffee beans remains relatively constant during the roasting process. While dark roast beans may appear stronger and more intense, this is due to the caramelization and browning of sugars, not an increase in caffeine.
In fact, some studies have shown that dark roast beans may have slightly less caffeine than light roast beans due to the loss of moisture during roasting.
Therefore, the caffeine content of coffee is primarily determined by the type of beans used, not the roast level.
