Caffeine content is not really indicated by the colour of the roast, that is very much driven by the exact type of bean used - some beans intrinsically have far more caffeine than others.
Flavour is very much driven by the degree of roast, a "high" roast will tend to give a richer taste than a low roast, and too many people think a "strong, bitter" coffee is one high in caffeine.....

Well, by lighter roast, I do mean a low roast. Less roasting of the bean retaining the caffeination more.

Excuse me for one quick, off topic, reply.
Vic, It doesn't matter weather your thermostat is analogue or digital, there has to be hysteresis in the system.
