Question 1

1. How much coffee is safe to drink daily?

Accepted Answer

Most health experts recommend 3–4 cups per day (about 400mg of caffeine) for healthy adults. But listen to your body—some people are more sensitive to caffeine!

Question 2

2. Does coffee dehydrate you?

Accepted Answer

Nope, that’s a myth! While caffeine is a mild diuretic, the water in coffee offsets this effect. Just balance it with plain H₂O throughout the day.

Question 3

3. Light roast vs. dark roast: What’s the difference?

Accepted Answer

Light roast: Bright, acidic, and retains more of the bean’s original flavor.
 	Dark roast: Bold, smoky, and has slightly less caffeine (roasting burns off some caffeine).

Question 4

4. How should I store coffee beans?

Accepted Answer

Keep beans in an airtight container away from heat, light, and moisture. Don’t refrigerate—they’ll absorb fridge odors! Use within 2–4 weeks for peak freshness.

Question 5

5. Can I drink coffee on an empty stomach?

Accepted Answer

It depends! Some people experience acid reflux or jitters. Try pairing it with a banana or toast if your stomach feels uneasy.

Question 6

6. What’s the best way to make cold brew at home?

Accepted Answer

Mix 1 cup coarsely ground coffee with 4 cups cold water. Steep for 12–24 hours, strain, and dilute with water/milk. Boom—smooth, low-acid cold brew!

Question 7

7. Is decaf coffee caffeine-free?

Accepted Answer

Not entirely! Decaf has about 2–5mg of caffeine per cup (vs. 95mg in regular). Perfect for late-afternoon sips if you’re caffeine-sensitive.

Question 8

8. Does coffee stunt your growth?

Accepted Answer

Science says no! This myth has zero evidence. Your height is mostly determined by genetics and nutrition.

Question 9

9. Why does coffee sometimes make me sleepy?

Accepted Answer

Caffeine blocks adenosine (a sleep-inducing chemical), but once it wears off, adenosine floods back—hello, crash! Staying hydrated and eating well helps.

Question 10

10. Are expensive coffee beans worth it?

Accepted Answer

If you crave unique flavors (like floral or fruity notes), single-origin specialty beans are a game-changer. For daily lattes? A mid-range blend works fine!

Question 11

Q: What if my coffee cups are 8 ounces?

Accepted Answer

A: For 12 x 8-oz cups (96 oz total), use 24–32 tablespoons (2–2.5 tbsp per cup).

Question 12

Q: Can I use a kitchen scale instead?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes! Aim for a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio (1g coffee to 16g water).

Question 13

Q: Can I use a regular spoon instead of a scoop?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes! 1 scoop = 2 tablespoons. Use measuring spoons for accuracy.

Question 14

Q: Why does my coffee taste bitter?

Accepted Answer

A: Too many scoops or too fine a grind. Cut back 1–2 scoops or coarsen your grind.

Question 15

Q: What about decaf?

Accepted Answer

A: Same rules apply! Strength depends on roast, not caffeine.
