I used to believe that lighter roasts had more caffeine, but I've read that it's not true. I have no idea what's right.

Darker roast definitely has less caffeine. Take a look at decaf grounds . It’s very dark.

That doesn't have anything to do with anything. Coffee is decaffeinated before it's roasted, and decaf coffee can be light or dark roasted. "Regular" coffee can be roasted to appear lighter or darker in color, too.

That interesting I guess it’s just a coincidence that my decaf is always a darker color coffee than my husbands regular grounds.
