According to a 2021 study published in the *Molecules* journal, medium roast coffee has a slightly higher caffeine content than dark roast, but the difference is minimal and often undetectable to the average coffee drinker. For most, the perception of how strong is a medium roast coffee is actually a matter of flavor profile and intensity, not its caffeine kick.
