COFFEE and how to make it

[Surely]

congrats surely.

just bought a taylors bag of ground coffee, its strength number 6, the highest, called hot lava java or summat, says its a darker dark roast....it says high caffeine content on front...... well see about that when i wake up and open that bad boy up....

just done some back reading.... coupla of ya said darker the roast, the less caffiene is in there.
so how come this taylors extra strong coffee is saying its dark dark roast and claiming its strength 6 the max poss on their scale. shouldnt it be light light roast if its so strong?

Thanks bob2131.

Yes, the lighter the roast, the stronger the caffeine content.

The longer coffee beans are roasted, the more caffeine is burnt off.

Maybe the strength #6 is referring to the taste- it's the strongest taste, not the strongest caffeine content.
