Drinking coffee.

If you are drinking coffee and you drank one. Then, it feels like you drank 10 coffees. Is the coffee strong even if it is just a medium roast, or can it be that my coffee tolerance has decreased in the last year?
Lots of sugar, honey, milk and other stuff.

I think roast has more to do with flavor than strength.

True. Dark roasts usually have less caffeine because they have stronger flavour. Lighter roasts can often require more beans to make a cup.

ive read that darker roasts have higher caffine content 
I know certain beans are just super potent just like certain buds are super dank and one hit makes u super stoned.

I think that way, but it may have to do with the beans. I think you're right.

If caffeine is what you want, go with deathwish coffee, shit will put your through the roof.
I drink two huge cups of coffee every morning, not deathwish though, but still the stuff is strong. Anyway, I tried to switch to tea not long ago, but couldn't do it, the l-theanine in the tea was to relaxing for myself, had to have that coffee rush to wake up with.
Coffee, FTW.
I thought lighter roasts had more caffeine though, I spoke with a roaster several years ago, and they told me the lighter roasts had more caffeine.

I don't know if it is the caffeine that I really want.
Maybe it just the most beans and froth possible. If there are more beans then this makes a richer taste, right? even if it is just a medium-dark roast.

That isn't fucking why though. It has to do with bean density and weight, and if you measure your coffee by weight or by scoops.

not sure if it's been said yet, but...the lighter the roast, almost always the greater the caffeine content
i.e. medium roast has more caffeine than dark roast; light more than medium
sugar and honey? wtf?
that combined with the milk might be why you're thwacked out

Yup, the same bean as a lighter roast will have more caffeine than a darker roast. Some caffeine is destroyed during the process.
Freshness makes a huge difference, as well as with flavor. Drink whatever kind of roast you prefer (light are acidic/tangy and bright, dark are rich and more purely bitter), buy fresh beans and only grind enough for that sitting.

Alas I am super sensitive to caffeine and because of that can't really enjoy one of the most delicious beverages in the world: Tanzanian Peaberry Coffee.
The darker the roast, the lower the caffeine, as roasting breaks down caffeine into, essentially, flavors. Choose 100% Arabica coffee, Rubusta is crap and has more caffeine.
Its better to drink half a cup of strong coffee than a full cup of limp coffee.
In my view it rapes the coffee so I won't, but drinking coffee Portugese style (half coffee, half hot milk with foam on top) eases the blow of the caffeine content.

The roast doesn't matter, having a good bean is good for flavor, but what really determines a good cup of coffee is how you brew it.
Machines are typically shite, the water just passes through the grounds... It takes at least 5min to brew a cup of coffee, just below boiling temperature
Personally I measure grounds by eye, but err on the side of more
If you don't brew it long enough, or don't use enough grounds You get coffee flavored water, which is what most people drink and sell in my experience

If i acctually want to enjoy a coffee now i make either an americano (espresso with hit water) or a latte (espresso with steamed milk and a scoop of milk foam on top)
the only time i drink drip coffee is for the effect when im smoking weed or something or on a weekday morning to get my fix. And thats only because my mom makes ut if ut wasnt already made it would be espresso all the way.
OP: maybe you brewed it right this time. If you dont put the grounds in evenly then the water will go through the weakest part and alot of the grounds will be basically untouched.

this is why the jar method is superior. put grounds in bottom of quart jar (i do a little over 1/2c grounds). bring water to steam in a kettle, pour it over and stir. stir once every minute or two. let steep for ~8-10minutes. strain

I like using a french press for this reason. It produces the best cup every time. As for coffee, I like a nice medium roast or dark roast. Generally I go to an organic coffee shop who roasts their beans in house but until I go back to the city I'm stuck drinking this Nabob crap or Tim Hortins. There needs to be more coffee variety in this shit town.

I just brew it in a cooking pot on the stove, with the heat on until ready to strain (just under boiling), ideally 10min but at least 5min
Equal parts coffee and milk (dairy or nut), a lot of ice
French presses are pretty nice, same concept as a jar but with a built in filter

Yeah tim hortons and starbucks ruined coffee shops. Every coffee shop is the same joe it used to be a unique experience going to you facourite coffee shop. Not to mention they ahve shit coffee so i never buy from tims unless i get an iced capp with a shotnof espresso necause i need to caffeine. Otherwise i make it at home like i said.
