Is dark roasted coffee better or worse than regular coffee?

Question

I'm wondering what's better / less bad for your health: dark roasted coffee, regular coffee, or mild coffee.

Answer 1

Caffeine is caffeine.. I would just go with what you prefer for taste.

Answer 2

Coffee is in the news lately about being good for you. I'd guess dark is better in that respect, but I like mine regular roast.

Answer 3

depends on your taste.  Do you like stronger more robust coffee, or milder smoother flavor.  Try both and see what you like best.  Despite what others have said, coffee is good for you in moderation.  It is loaded with antioxidants and helps perk up the mind.

Answer 4

Mild coffee will be better..

Answer 5

They are all pretty much the same. Just drink in moderation. Choose the one that you enjoyed most I prefer mild roasted as it is less bitter and has more flavor then dark.

The darker the roast, the less caffeine. So if you are trying to reduce your caffeine ingestion, than wise up and sip the dark roast. It tastes stellar too.

Answer 7

there might be some small chemical variations in different roasts of coffee but not enuf to make a difference in your health. its more a flavor thing.

Answer 8

It is worse for your health. Lightly roasted is the least worse.

The darker the roast, the more carcinogens in the coffee.

Answer 10

I couldn't tell you , but give me some dark roast please!

Answer 11

Nothing has shown yet that a dark roasted coffee is better or worse for your health.  I can only tell you that the longer you roast, the more chemical changes occur and, in many cases, the darker roasted can result in a higher caffeinated beverage.

Answer 12
