Italian Roast is much darker and oilier than a French Roast and often preferred in Italy. If a coffee is described as being a French or Italian roast, it isnât because they were grown or roasted in these countries, just that the roaster utilized this generalized roast level for that blend of beans.
Why does dark roast coffee have less caffeine than lighter roasts? If you are buying a cup of coffee and the coffee is measured by weight then dark roast will have slightly more caffeine. BUT if you buy a cup of coffee and it is measured by volume then light roast will be higher in caffeine because you will have more coffee grounds.
