They're all correct. The oils ARE the flavor. It just like putting a burger on a grill and watching the grease drip out of it. The grease is the flavor (If you dont believe me, taste a totally dry burger...you'll think it's a hockey puck). Dark, French, or espresso roast will force the most oils, along with the rest of the moisture trapped inside to escape the inner layers of cells within the bean. If you ever get a chance, surf around for espresso porn. It is amazing. Excellent answers. They’re all correct. The oils ARE the flavor.

Coffees that are roasted lighter will have less oil on the surface. French and Spanish roasted coffee will be darker and have more oil on it.

Depends on how much it is dried how much oil remains. Use a good coffee filter and you'll be fine. If you need to, after brewing, strain the brewed coffee through a clean filter to get rid of any oils that got through. (You will see the oil floating on top of the coffee if it got through. It doesn't hurt the taste, just looks nasty.) coffee naturally has oils in it. Depends on how much it is dried how much oil remains. Use a good coffee filter and you’ll be fine.

You'll especially notice this with espresso type coffee since the roasting brings the oils out to the surface. It means it’s fresh.

I french press my coffee to retain the essential oils (and a lot of flavor). It's fat content is virtually negligible, as far as counting calories.
