Interesting About Coffee

Although many people drink coffee just for the caffeine coffee has about 200-500 milligrams of anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants lower inflammation, reduce the risk of chronic disease, and they stabilize free radicals which means reduces their activity and makes it less easy for them to cause damage to cells. It also has chlorogenic acid in it that helps the body process fat and sugar.
Light roast actually has more caffeine in it that the dark option. Arabica and Robusta have about the same. To retain the most anti-oxidants hot brewed is best. But, cold brew is lower in acid and is a better choice for those who suffer from acid reflux.
The best way is hot and black. One cup has virtually no calories or fat, and is low in sodium. Black coffee also has niacin, magnesium, and potassium in it.
What type of coffee do you drink? I like lattes with all the flavoring, sugar and milk.

I drink dark roast like Sumatra and French Roast. Lighter taste like colored water to me. I put in two tsp of raw sugar per cup. If I buy an iced coffee while out, I'll get a caramel or if I go to Dutch Bros, I get a sugar Free American Eagle or Sugar Free hopscotch. Hot coffee is real sugar and no substitutions.

Interesting about the sugar. I eat raw sugar, not sweeteners. I like a caramel latte. Not black that's for sure.

@MarieCoyle .......I like it if it has a good flavor. I just find it very hard to find a good one that I like.

I love dark roast, and I want mine black. I don't add anything. I have a latte about once a year, if that...they are good, but I have a problem with milk and can't drink very much of it. Luckily, I've not ever been a milk drinker so I don't miss it.

I drink far too much coffee.

I have a Nespresso pod machine
And also an Ambiano ground coffee filter machine
We don't put sugar in coffee but we do add semi skimmed milk

@celticeagle I do have latte sometimes when I use the coffee machine. I don’t take sugar though.

My hubby used to make me a cup of Folgers Decaf Coffee every afternoon with a muffin or some other sweet. I haven't had any since he's been gone.
