The less acid and the less caffeine the darker the roast. I thought it was weird that regular coffee makes me ill and the stronger flavored does not and they explained it to me at Starbucks. The longer the bean is roasted the more oil is removed so it loses the caffeine and acid. I was amazed because I always thought it was higher in caffeine and acid because it tastes stronger.
