The "energy" from coffee is caffeine blocking adenosine (the molecule that makes you feel tired). How big the hit is depends on dose, not on how "strong" the coffee tastes.

What actually raises the caffeine dose
- More Robusta in the blend — roughly double the caffeine of Arabica.
- More coffee per cup — a stronger brew ratio (1:14 vs 1:17).
- Brew method — a large filter/French press mug delivers more total caffeine than a single espresso, even though espresso tastes stronger.
- Roast level barely matters — light and dark roast have nearly identical caffeine by weight.
