For every "expert" who says you need to cut out coffee, you can easily find another one who says it's fine and another one who says it probably has some health benefits.

I have at least 3 cups per day. Not sure who these experts are but I bet they aren't up all night with a screaming baby. Ha.

Find different "experts" to listen to.

Oh man, I love coffee. Like, seriously, I love it so much. And I only drink one cup a day, hehe. I think it's perfectly fine.

I like coffee, but definitely not in an addictive way. Not screaming for it everyday. Doesn't matter if a whole day goes by without it.

'Experts' can pry my coffee out of my cold, dead hands. There is as much evidence that it has health benefits as there is evidence to the contrary, anyway. A pre-workout espresso is excellent for you, imo.

Find smarter experts. Nothing wrong with coffee in reasonable amounts. I do 24 to 32 ounces of nice organic Columbian or Bolivian every morning before my workout. Can't imagine why anyone would say it's an issue in a reasonable amount.

I love coffee! I'll drink a 26oz iced coffee with a splash of skim milk and splenda every morning.

I also drink my coffee black on weekdays. 0 cals in most cases.

I drink it black everyday. If you get a nice well roasted bean and make a wonderful tasting brew, why screw it up with other things.

Confession: I am passionate enough about good coffee that I buy my beans green, roast them with a tabletop roaster and use a Burr Grinder and a Kona Pot to brew. You will have a hard time finding a better, fresher tasting cup of coffee than you can get in my kitchen. Not saying it's not possible but....
I've been roasting for over 10 years and have learned the skills to bring the best out of the beans I buy.

I drink two or three "real" cups and several decaf cups a day and have lost just fine. Won't do without it.

Lately, it seems like the experts are saying coffee is good for you, especially the caffeinated kind. Adding sugar to it, however, is not good for you. So stick to good ol' Folgers and stay away from Starbucks and you'll be fine.

I will never ever ever ever ever ever give up coffee

@mmapags do you roast your coffee every day, or do several days worth at a time? Mind sharing more about your tabletop roaster? We tried roasting in the oven a couple times, and the coffee was delicious but the process was very fiddly. We definitely need a lot more practice.

Drink at least 2 cups a day with a splash of half and half. No way I am giving that up.

ecjim

Those "experts" don't know what they are talking about - I have a few cups per day - black & so do my 91 year old parents - Eastcoast Jim

We roast every other day. The roaster is the FreshRoast SR300. but I'd recommend getting the FreshRoast SR 500 for about $170. It lets you adjust both time and temp. The SR300 only time. Just a little more control of the variable for about an extra $50. I'm kinda waiting on my 10 year old one to die and get the SR500 but no luck so far. Lol

It only takes about 6 or 7 minutes and all you do is put in 4 scoops of green beans, set time and temp and hit start. It has a cooling system for the end of the process so the beans don't overroast and a chaf catcher. It's super easy. Good organic fair trade coffee goes for about $15 per lb. I buy green beans for about 1/2 that + shipping. I figured the payback on my roaster was about 10 months and been having great coffee for the last 9 years or so for about $7 or $8 per lb. I buy nothing but organic fair trade micro lots with high cupping scores.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like info on the best vendors for the roaster and the beans.

I don't understand -- do you think Folgers is the only way to get coffee without sugar?

I don't put sugar in my coffee (never have -- absolutely can't stand sugar ruining coffee) and I still have plenty of choices at Starbucks and other coffee shops when I'm out and about (cold brew, hot and iced americanos, hot and iced lattes, flat whites-- even regular coffee or iced coffee at places other than Starbucks, where it always tastes like it's been sitting on a burner for seven or eight hours, unless they have a clover machine). And I can brew a wonderful cup of black coffee at home without having to use Folgers.

Once, while I was laid up at my parent's home recovering from surgery, I found a book written by an "expert doctor" discussing hundreds of ailments, & the one and only cure for all of them... coffee enimas. That's right.. Strep throat? Coffee enima. Pneumonia? Coffee enima. Fatty Liver? Coffee enima. Ingrown toenail? Coffee enima!! My take on this, enjoy your coffee without fail every day, because it could certainly be worse. And, of course, take the words of "experts" with a grain of salt (or spoonful of sugar & cream)

I love my morning coffee ☕️. I do intermittent fasting and it's the best way to hold my fast without adding calories. My second cup is with my first meal of the day, nice and creamy. I have lost 10 lbs in the last couple of weeks and coffee hasn't affected in a negative way. Cheers

lil_moniQ

Actually, there is no problem with coffee. I drink one cup for breakfast too. As long as you omit sugar and milk, it should be fine...

SmithsonianEmpress

Uhhhh I LOVE coffee. I like to drink it when there's no noise and there's no one talking to me. Most of the time that isn't possible but it's my preference. I don't know whether it's good for us or bad for us but interrupted sleep every night and three small people talking to me everyday ALL day means I. NEED. COFFEE.

Kst76

I love strong black coffee. But I also like to add some creamer.

Sairzie

The only thing unhealthy about coffee is perhaps my attitude towards it! Give me the coffee and everything will be ok!

thunderchild007

I drink gallons of coffee everyday, I would go on murderous rampages at work if I didn't (I works with some proper numpties)

karynclarke

Love me some coffee! I have at least 3 large mugs of caffeine coffee a day, with a 1/4 cup of soy milk in each and usually a couple of decafs in the evening (at the age I can no longer sleep with caffeine in my system after 5pm).

Experts smexperts... no one's making me give up my coffee!

Machka9

2-3 cups a day every day. Black, of course.

MoveitlikeManda

I drink anything from 3 to 8 coffees a day, and Im not talking about cups........Im talking about my bestest XL mug

strong and black
