OK, hot take, light roast has more caffeine because it’s not roasted as much as dark roast so it retains more caffeine? That is the logic that I learned. If someone would like to tell me the logic of why that’s not true I would love to hear it.

I can’t stand the whole “espresso dies in 30 seconds” thing. It’s been extensively proven to be untrue. I’m pretty sure it was introduced by Starbucks during their barista training to increase productivity

When I say espresso shots die at my coffee shop what I mean is "I don't want you using it for this specific purpose after this amount of time because the flavor is effected and the crema is gone" which are both, in fact, facts.

Trying to educate myself more. For the "espresso shots die" note, isn't there some semblance of truth to that? As the espresso oxidizes over hours/days, doesn't it reduce some of the nuance to the coffee? Or is that all that's meant by "dies" is the poor 10 second rule?

I wonder if these “facts” and ChatGPT have something to do with it

I used to be a barista at Starbucks back in 2019-2021. The myth of espresso shots dying, and the light roast has more caffeine was definitely instilled in us during training. I know for a fact that’s where everyone is getting this information. Since quitting Starbucks, I’ve also worked at tons of local shops as well and actually got proper coffee education🤣

I have got into so many arguments with people in TikTok comments about how espresso shots don’t die. People really can’t let that one go

Is there a difference between light v dark for extraction? (genuine question, I tried to look it up & just got repeats of the roasting thing)

I learned all of that from when I was a barista at Starbucks so that’s the main source I’m sure for the misinformation

These new creators must be ex Starbucks baristas because that’s what they’re taught about coffee during training.

as a coffee drinker, the biggest myth is that coffee tastes good.
I'm mostly joking 😃

So interesting because I was taught the caffeine thing in my barista training in a local spot! I’ll stop spouting this fun fact 🫡

But can you nerd out on why it’s only been 50years that it’s been stable and where the light roast, higher caffeine lore comes from? Thanks!

Jordy :
But why does a blond roast make me more jittery and wired than a dark roast? Genuine question because I always thought the more you cook something the more nutrients and compounds you lose. That’s why I’ve mostly preferred darker roast.
