04/20/2018, 0:00:00 AM I took exactly ten grams of both a light and dark roast. Counting the beans of each, I had sixty-five light roast beans and sixty-seven dark roast beans. Only a two bean difference, big deal, right? Well, actually yes, because if there is a two bean variance with just ten grams how many beans separate a pound of light and dark? There is an estimated ninety bean difference between a pound of dark and light roast coffee, with the dark roast winning the count. (Don't worry I didn't count an entire pound to figure that out). So, what does this mean? You should only buy dark roasts because you get more beans for your buck? No, because volume is not everything. During the roasting process, a bean loses its mass. The density of the bean changes; beans that are roasted longer are less dense. That's why you have more beans by mass of dark roasts. When coffee is roasted the beans lose roughly 90% of their water content. So, how does this change a pot of coffee? 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 out your scoops, darker roasts will have more caffeine, because there is less mass. What should also be noted is that Arabica beans vary in levels of caffeine depending on the plant species. And, as we know from our caffeine basics the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee is so minimal, we might not even notice the difference.
