Beverage Exhibition|Four ways to make coffee healthier

2024.10.12

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world. According to research, coffee can boost energy, reduce fatigue, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, coffee is also considered unhealthy due to its high caffeine content, added sugar and additives. Experts at the Beverage Exhibition shared tips on how to make coffee healthier.

 

Choose high-quality coffee beans

 

1.To make healthy coffee, first choose high-quality beans.

 

2.Organic coffee beans are a good choice because they are not contaminated by pesticides and fertilizers.

 

3.It is also important to choose fresh coffee beans because fresh coffee beans contain more antioxidants.

 

4. In addition, it is a good idea to choose beans from a single origin. These coffee beans are produced by specific regions or specific types of coffee plants and have a strong and unique flavor. Single-origin coffee beans generally contain more antioxidants and beneficial substances than blended coffee beans.

 

 

Avoid over-brewing

 

When it comes to coffee, brewing time and water temperature are both critical. Over-brewing can lead to too much caffeine and acidity. To reduce acidity, you can choose to brew your coffee cold. Cold brew coffee is made by steeping coffee powder in cold water for several hours or days. This method reduces acidity and makes the coffee smoother and easier to digest.

 

Don't overdo it with added sugar and dairy

 

To make coffee taste better, many people like to add sugar and dairy products. However, excess added sugars and dairy products can increase the calorie and fat content of coffee, which can lead to unhealthy eating habits. Alternatives, such as honey or pure cocoa powder, are available as options.

 

 

If you really want to add dairy, opt for low-fat milk or plant-based milk, such as almond or coconut milk. These alternatives contain less fat and sugar, while adding some extra nutritional value to your coffee.

 

Try adding condiments

 

In addition to sugar and dairy products, try adding some other flavorings to enhance the flavor of your coffee.

 

For example, ground cinnamon is a good choice, which not only adds to the aroma of coffee, but also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Ginger powder is also a good choice, it can improve the digestive function of coffee, and strengthen the immune system. Other options include cocoa powder, vanilla extract and plant extracts.

 

To make your coffee more healthful, you should choose high-quality beans, avoid over-brewing, don't overdo it with sugar and dairy, and try adding flavorings. Doing so will not only provide the refreshing effect that coffee has, but also give your body some additional nutritional value.
