Tag: Intense espresso

According to coffee experts, intensity is one of the most misunderstood concepts in the coffee world, often confused with high caffeine content. Intense espresso is a term that describes a sensory profile marked by a strong aroma, full body, and robust flavors, rather than just a high dose of caffeine.

Despite the common belief that darker roasts are always more potent, a 2021 study cited by Colipse Coffee showed that light roast coffee can actually contain slightly more caffeine by volume. So, is blonde or intense espresso stronger? The answer depends on whether you're measuring by flavor or stimulant effect.
