Top 10 Questions I get Asked about coffee

2 Min Read
Here’s a breakdown of some common questions about coffee, including caffeine content, brewing methods, and health effects:
 
Caffeine and Coffee:
 
Caffeine Content:

Light roast coffee actually retains more caffeine than dark roast because the heat during roasting causes beans to lose some of their caffeine content. 

Laxative Effect:

While coffee may have a laxative effect in some people by stimulating the bowels, it’s not a laxative in the traditional sense. 

Espresso vs. Coffee:

Espresso is a more concentrated beverage brewed under pressure, while coffee is brewed with less pressure and more water. 

Decaffeinated Coffee:

All coffee beans naturally contain caffeine, and decaffeination involves removing caffeine using methods like water or solvents. 

 
Coffee and Health:
 
Calories:

A cup of black coffee has virtually no calories, but adding milk or sugar increases the calorie count. 

Memory:

Some studies suggest that caffeine can improve memory, especially when consumed while learning and recalling information. 

Sleep:

Caffeine is a stimulant, and consuming coffee close to bedtime can disrupt sleep. 

Fair Trade Coffee:

Fair trade coffee ensures that coffee farmers and workers are paid fair prices and have their rights protected. 

Specialty Coffee:
Specialty coffee focuses on quality and allows drinkers to detect origin characteristics, often sourced ethically through small supply chains.
