Coffee & Your Health—Our Clear, Practical, Science-Backed Guide

We believe that a great cup of coffee should make you feel great, too. This guide offers practical, evidence-based tips for building a healthy coffee ritual.

Please note: This is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice. We always recommend consulting your personal healthcare professional for guidance.

How much caffeine is safe?

Every person's sensitivity is different, but for reference, the FDA suggests a limit of up to 400 mg of caffeine per day for most healthy adults. Our commitment is providing the data to help you make an informed choice. You can see the exact numbers for your favorite blend on our [link to Caffeine Transparency page].

What about coffee and cholesterol?

If you're mindful of cholesterol, research suggests that brewing with a paper filter is a great choice. The paper helps trap the coffee's natural oils (known as diterpenes), giving you a cleaner, lighter-bodied cup. A standard drip machine is a perfect example of this method.

How can I build a healthy coffee habit?

Two simple tips from our community can make a big difference:

  • Hydrate: Try to pair each cup of coffee with a glass of water to stay balanced.
  • Set a Curfew: Many people find they sleep better when they enjoy their last cup of caffeine 8-10 hours before bedtime.

Special Considerations

  • Pregnancy & Nursing: For those who are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing, many clinicians recommend limiting caffeine intake to 200mg or less per day. [Source placeholder]
