You either love coffee or you hate coffee.

Okay, or you drink it to get through the day because nothing else beats its caffeine content.

How about whether you want a coffee or a latte?

However, dark roasts have a surprising factor to them that many don’t realize.

According toHealthline, dark roast coffee typically has less caffeine than lighter roast varieties.

This is thanks to the roasting process itself.

Healthline notes that dark roast coffees are commonly roasted at around 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, lighter roasts are only roasted for about 10 minutes at a lower temperature of 350 Fahrenheit.

This affects the caffeine levels as well.
