To study coffee's effect on cardiovascular health
The study concluded unfiltered coffee leads to higher mortality than filtered coffee.
☕️ And filtered brew ☕️
Is associated with lower mortality than no coffee consumption at all.
So if you're using a French Press
🤨 You might want to start rotating with drip filter 🤨

This is devastating news (…and it’ll be devastating to my household to deal with me if I switch to drip coffee) because I specifically bought a french press years ago to master the art of making a Cafe Cubano (I think I mastered it too😉) and It’s been giving me LIFE in the mornings! Now this article is saying it’s taking away my life.😩 I read the study, and it said that unfiltered coffee has higher amounts of cholesterol raising phytochemicals called diterpenes than filtered coffee. I mean...I value my life. I also value my mornings. Decisions.
Super interesting - would love to see more research on the various ways we make coffee. -
Wow, these are interesting results! I loved learning about this Norwegian cardiovascular study on the effects of unfiltered coffee. I used to drink it a lot, so it is quite scary to read the bottom line that unfiltered coffee increases the mortality rate. Luckily I was able to break the habit and use my Keurig now.
