Start with Quality Beans : Choose high-quality, freshly roasted beans for richer antioxidants and flavor.
Filtered Brewing Is Better : Use paper or fine-mesh filters to lower compounds that can raise LDL cholesterol while preserving antioxidants.
Black or Light Add-Ins : Drinking coffee black keeps calories low; add cinnamon, cardamom, or a drop of vanilla for flavor without sugar.
Avoid Sugar & Creamers : Sugar and creamy syrups add calories and negate many health benefits
Time It Right : Drinking coffee before noon may enhance cardiovascular benefits and support better sleep later
Moderate Daily Intake : Aim for 2–4 cups per day — enough for benefits without excess caffeine side effects.
Cold Brew for Sensitive Stomachs : Cold brew tends to be lower in acidity, easing reflux for sensitive drinkers.
Plant-Based Milks Work : Unsweetened almond, oat, or soy milk adds creaminess with fewer calories than full cream.
Pair With Food : Drinking coffee with a small snack reduces acidity on an empty stomach.
Hydrate Too : Coffee is mildly diuretic — drink water alongside to stay hydrated.
