In this episode, Kenneth sits down again with Katie to continue their discussion about the impact coffee has on health. In this one, the 4th in the health and coffee series, they discuss what coffee companies can, and are doing, to make their product as healthy as possible, As well as how you can optimize coffee for health, when you make it at home and how many cups are healthy to drink for most adults. He also introduces the Umble Healthy Coffee Calculator™️, which anyone can benefit from using.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How coffee is grown, stored, processed, and made has an impact on the level of health benefits it delivers.
• Generally speaking, the higher the elevation, the beans are grown at the higher the antioxidant levels are.
• Bean density has an impact.
• Freshness is important, so always grind just before you make your coffee.
• The darker the roast the more of the beneficial chlorogenic acid has been cooked out.

BEST MOMENTS‘At Humble Coffee, we tend to select beans that are grown at a higher elevation so that we can get more of those antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. ´‘The lighter the roast, the higher the antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.’‘Another thing anyone can do for freshness is to refrigerate or freeze coffee.’
