Coffee brewing methods can have a big impact on heart health
so says this study from Sweden
The do gooders have hated coffee all of my life, to the point where they’ve denied the unborn their share of caffeine, but otherwise they’ve failed in their efforts to ban the bean.

That study might have been financed by Bunn coffee filters, but anything that encourages more Java addicts is a good thing, you know?

I had to look up what "paper-filtered" coffee was; as referenced in the study. I assume they mean pour over method like with a melitta cone filter. My take way from that article is that filtering the coffee reduces risk, so maybe I'll try using two paper filters on my brewed coffee and see how that goes, (although I no longer have a high cholesteral risk). On the other hand, a relative-in-law just turned 100 and she drinks a pot of percolated coffee every day so clearly this is just one factor among many that effect levels. Good article though, thanks for posting it !!! 😍

So like we are really going to talk about good health and shit on a pipesmoking forum? ha ha.

My blood pressure was scaring all of the doctors I was going to, so I just cut out all caffeine, switching to Sanka, until I realized that i just don't need any coffee now, and now my doctors are happy. BP is awesome.
I'll drink a Sanka from time to time just to enjoy the flavor of coffee. But, I don't feel that need for coffee anymore.
I figured that I could live without coffee, but there's no point in living without my pipes.

It is remarkable how little I feel a need for coffee now. I don't get that tired feeling that compelled me to keep drinking coffee. Now, I can just stay awake without anything. Amazing!
And, my mood is much better now also.

I stopped drinking coffee this last summer for a different health issue, and I couldn't believe i could live normally without it!

Good to know i can go without it, but I'm glad to have it back. Haha.

Too much of anything can be a bad thing. I'll limit myself to a couple cups a day, but if I die faster from using a coffee brewer vs. something like a French press, then so be it. At a certain point you just have to live your life.

Caffeine is far more addictive than nicotine...for me anyway. I can easily go without the nicotine for days or any length of time and feel nothing. At one point, several years back, after many years of smoking, I stopped altogether for about 2 years due to certain life circumstances without the least difficulty.

Caffeine is a whole other thing...gotta have it...morning and afternoon.

I quit coffee for about a year then we had our first kid and the lack of sleep was killing me so we got an espresso machine.
That first cup back was one of the most amazing feelings. Every so often I stop caffeine for a while just so when I start up again I can experience that feeling.
I stopped coffee for a few months around 2021 just to see what was up. I then started drinking it again and realized I wasted a few months of my life!

7 days a week I use a Chemex, which appears to be Swedish approved, lol. Saturday and Sunday I also ingest, whether "straight" or with whole milk in some form, approximately 36-40 grams of freshly made espresso through the machine - my cholesterol has always been great so I'll keep on doing it! Usually having eggs and sausage or bacon on the weekends as well and real butter! All things in moderation and everyone tolerates things in different ways.
