Ten tips on coffee

1. Caffeine Can Kill You

Coffee can kill you.

But you'd have to drink 80 to 100 cups in a hurry, health experts say. We advise not trying.

Of course, according to experts, this can happen after you quickly drink 80 to 100 cups of coffee. In this regard, we do not recommend that you try.

2. Coffee Can Be Good For You

Coffee can be good for you.

A study shows that Americans get most of their antioxidants from their daily fix of java. One to two cups a day appear to be beneficial. Or, if you don't like coffee, try black tea, the second most consumed antioxidant source. Bananas, dry beans, and corn wrap up the top five.

Studies have shown that most of the antioxidants Americans get come from their daily regular Java coffee. One or two cups of coffee is very effective. If you don't like coffee, you can also try black tea, a drink with antioxidants second only to coffee. In addition, bananas, dried fruits and corn are among the top five foods rich in antioxidants.

3. Caffeine Might Boost Female Sex Drive

Caffeine may help increase women's libido

It worked on rats anyway. But researchers say in humans, coffee might enhance the sexual experience only among people who are not habitual users.

That's true for rats. However, the researchers believe that coffee may only improve the sexual experience of people who do not drink coffee regularly.

4. Caffeine Might Cut Pain

Caffeine can relieve pain

Moderate doses of caffeine-the equivalent of two cups of coffee- can cut post-gym muscle pain, a small study found. But the research was done on people who were not regular coffee drinkers.

Caffeine can relieve the pain. Studies have shown that a moderate amount of caffeine, equivalent to 2 cups of coffee, can reduce muscle soreness after fitness. However, the findings apply only to those who do not drink coffee regularly.

5. Caffeine Can Indeed Keep You Up at Night

Caffeine does help you lose sleep at night.

Health experts advise avoiding it for 6 hours before bedtime.

Health experts advise against drinking coffee for six hours before going to bed.

6. Decaf Coffee Has Caffeine!

Decaffeinated coffee also contains caffeine

If you drink five to 10 cups of decaffeinated coffee, you could get as much caffeine as from one or two cups of caffeinated coffee, a study found.

Studies have shown that drinking 5 to 10 cups of decaffeinated coffee consumes the same amount of caffeine as drinking 1 or 2 cups of regular coffee.

7. Decaffeination Uses Chemicals

Decaffeinated coffee uses chemicals.

Beans are steamed, so that dissolved caffeine rises to the surface, where it is washed off using an organic solvent called methylene chloride.

Coffee beans are subjected to steam pressure to float dissolved caffeine on the surface and then filter it out with an organic solvent called dichloromethane to become a decaffeinated product.

8. Caffeine Is Not The Bitter Culprit

Caffeine is not a source of bitterness

Caffeine is not the main bitter compound in coffee. Rather, the pungent perpetrators are antioxidants.

The main reason for the bitter taste of coffee is not caffeine, but antioxidants.

9. Great Coffee Depends on Roasting and Brewing

Full-bodied coffee depends on the roasting and brewing techniques.

When it comes to great flavor, coffee chemistry boils down to roasting and brewing. During roasting, oil locked inside the beans begins to emerge at around 400 degrees. The more oil, the stronger the flavor. Caffeine content goes up as the water spends more time in contact with the grounds, so regular coffee often has more of it than espresso or cappuccino. Darker roasts also yield more caffeine.

Coffee chemistry attributes the strong flavor of coffee to roasting and brewing. When the baking temperature is as high as 400 degrees, the oil in the coffee beans will flow out. The more fat, the stronger the taste. The amount of caffeine is related to water consumption. Regular coffee usually contains more caffeine than espresso or cappuccino. The darker the roast, the higher the caffeine.

10. Coffee Was Discovered by Goats

The coffee was found by the goat.

A millennium ago on a mountainside in Africa, a herd of goats kept a shepherd up at night after feasting on red coffee berries. The shepherd took his animals' discovery to some monks, and very long prayer sessions ensued. It's a good story, anyway.

A thousand years ago, on a hillside in Africa, a group of goats ate a kind of red coffee fruit and were so excited at night that the shepherd could not sleep. The shepherd gave the fruit to the missionary and was praised by a rather long crowd. It's actually just a beautiful legend.
