Cold Brew: More Caffeine?

There’s a common misconception about coffee and its caffeine content. Folks seem to think it exists in higher quantities in places where it doesn’t.Espresso, for example, is often touted as being the strongest coffee drink to order (but it isn’t, if you’re judging by serving size). Dark roast gets credit for having more caffeine than lighter roasts, when it doesn’t ― all roasts generally have the same amount of caffeine. And cold brew coffee gets a lot of love for delivering a major jolt of caffeine. But is that reputation deserved?

We got to the bottom of it, and as it turns out, it’s complicated.
