People were particularly interested in the different types of coffee that yielded unexpected results or results that clashed with preconceptions. For example, we tested a Light Roast and Dark roast from the same coffee shop, Epoch.  Most people, when asked if they knew the difference between the roasts would respond that the "dark/light roast had more caffeine", but in reality the caffeine content in the two roasts was indistinguishable; the light roast had a tiny bit more--but not enough to claim a significant difference.
