Do dark roasts have more caffeine?

Learn why there's no difference in caffeine levels from a dark or light roasted coffee.

I actually do use a scale to brew my pour over coffee. I like repeatable results. And BTW, I just finished my first cup of your Bella Finca and it was very delicious! 😊👍

Thank you.
That makes a lot of sense and answers my question.
But how about the pure green coffee that is never been roasted? How much caffeine does it have?

same. roasting does not effect the caffeine volume per bean.

Heck I drink dark roast just because I like the flavor.

However for those that have scales weighing out beans. Light roast beans have greater density. So if you weight 16g, 18g or 23g. You weight lesser beans due to greater volume density. So naturally, light roast beans may have fewer caffeine. But if you weigh in the dark roast beans. Due to the sheer downsize in bean density. You will find yourself scooping more beans to get the equal weight amount of 16g, 18g or 23g in comparison with light roast beans. In that regard, you will get more caffeine content than light roast beans.
Simple logical explanation:
light roast beans get few scoops to reach the desired grams you want in your coffee. So few caffeine content in a cup.
Dark roast beans: may require more scoops to reach the grams you want in your coffee. Thus more caffeine content in the cup.
