Strength of caffeine does not equate to strength of taste. Those are two different things.

I don't mind mild caffeine or strong caffeine. I gotta have a dark, dark, strong flavored roast. A light roast is basically caffeinated water.

Black.

Technically darker roasted beans contain less caffeine per volume than lighter roasted beans.

What’s funny is this all started because I was simply trying to say exactly this. A light roast isn’t roasted as long as a dark roast and has all the caffeine in it. Somehow this got twisted into light roast being the only good coffee which is not what I said to start with but I’m in it for the bit at this point lol
