I read some pretty interesting news this weekend — scientists have found that dark roasted coffee beans generate a chemical that actually reduces acid production in the stomach. So surprisingly, dark roasts like French and Italian are actually easier on your stomach! I particularly enjoy this news because when I drink coffee I always prefer dark roasts. Also, it’s been found that the darker roasts actually have less caffeine than the lighter roasts. {Read more}

If you drink coffee – do you prefer light, medium or dark roasts?

/ April 5, 2011I prefer my green tea, jasmin green tea, but..sometimes when out to dinner, the coffee smells so good. At least I know I have a better option if I choose to go for the tantalizing coffee smell. Dark roasts it is!

/ April 7, 2011Very interesting. This is good to know! When coffee is very acidic, I always end up feeling sick, so when I get coffee I know I am always taking a chance. But, now I know what kind of roast to ask for!

/ April 8, 2011This is so interesting! To be honest, I put so much skim milk in my coffee that it hardly matters which roast I choose — usually a medium, though. Guess I’ll start going dark!
