Caffeine fuels millions of people daily, but misconceptions about its effects persist. Let’s break down the facts with real numbers.

Myth: Dark Roast Has More Caffeine

✅ Fact: Light roast coffee actually retains slightly more caffeine per bean because roasting reduces mass. However, by weight (per gram), the caffeine difference is minimal—only about 5-10%.

🔍 Nosey Goat Insight: Whether you prefer bold dark or bright light roasts, you’re getting almost the same caffeine dose. Choose based on taste, not myths.

Myth: Espresso Has the Most Caffeine

✅ Fact: A single espresso shot (~63 mg of caffeine) is more concentrated but contains less caffeine than an 8 oz cup of drip coffee (~95 mg-165 mg).

🔍 Nosey Goat Insight: If you want the strongest caffeine hit, go for a larger serving—cold brew or pour-over packs the biggest punch.

Myth: Coffee Dehydrates You

✅ Fact: Studies show coffee contributes to daily hydration. The Institute of Medicine confirms that up to 400 mg of caffeine (≈4 cups) per day is safe for most adults without dehydrating effects.
