About coffee bean

Coffee can be made in several ways and here I am showing a simple and easy way of making brewed coffee. It helps to lose weight if consumed in moderation.

We get it by brewing coffee beans or coffee powder and is flavorful if mixed with milk or made in the form of latte or cappuccino or any other drink.

Coffee beans are used worldwide to make several drinks and are a wonderful bean that is used to make varieties of coffee-related drinks or beverages.

There is a black coffee bean which is usually dark brown or bright red in colour and also a green coffee bean which is brewed in many ways before adding them into drinks.

Its availability

It easily available in markets in the form of ground powders or they are available in the form of beans which can be brewed in many different ways.

The aroma that comes out of coffee beans is just amazing and tastes good with every milk drink or milk beverage.

Below I would like to highlight some points related to drinking coffee and throw some light to decide whether it is healthy or unhealthy.

The first question that comes to our mind is below that is whether it is good for health.

Is coffee good for weight loss

The answer is yes but take in moderation. Drinking brewed coffee many times a day can be harmful to the human body and should be avoided immediately.

Brew coffee quickly by using instant espresso/ coffee powder. Having a cup of coffee at noon or during the evenings is a healthy refreshing option.

Coffee contains caffeine which basically stimulates the nervous system and it also gives the actual strong flavour in the drink.

There is much-decaffeinated coffee available in markets that are sold and can be consumed for mild flavours.

Both caffeinated and decaffeinated drinks have the same benefits but the only difference is one is strong and gives robust flavours. The one without caffeine gives very mild flavours and cause no harm and side effects.

But one can opt for coffee as per taste and preference. Also, try my other coffee from blog which is iced vanilla latte starbucks, iced caramel macchiato starbucks style.

Since my post is about coffee to lose weight, it should be noted that there are some necessary points to follow before brewing coffee.

Benefits of Espresso

  • Always drink coffee in moderation. Just 1 cup of plain black coffee a day and avoiding other sugary drinks may help fat loss.
  • Just a cup of plain coffee with warm water everyday helps in reducing cholesterol levels.
  • Substituting sugary drinks with plain black coffee helps cleanse the stomach and cuts down the tummy fat as well.
  • Just drinking coffee does not help in losing weight but following a well-balanced diet and simple exercises such as walking, jogging and regular workouts help the body to get rid of fat easily.

Note: The information provided here is not given by a medical expert and have been written according to the information gathered at the time of writing this article.

Please follow a doctor's advice if suffering from severe health-related ailments or other drink-related queries.

One can drink coffee moderately but the question that commonly arises is on calories. Let us try to discuss it below.

Calories in black coffee

Coffee contains very low calories and if to mention numbers for 1 cup of brewed coffee then it is just in the range of 2-5 calories and this number is only for plain coffee.

If the coffee is mixed with milk then the number of calories can go high.

Looking at the number of calories for a plain cup of coffee can easily be concluded that it is a good drink that aids in weight loss.

It is harmful if plain coffee is mixed with milk and sugar. It is beneficial only if we make it plain without any sugary substances or milk and adding them can add up the calories.

Since plain brewed coffee has very fewer calories substituting it for many calorie intake drinks can control weight gain.

Do not ever drink coffee in excess as the caffeine content in coffee causes negative effects and invites many other health-related issues.

If this has high caffeine content and one is looking for simple low caffeine drinks then do check out the iced chai latte Starbucks recipe and also Starbucks chai tea latte.

Step by step procedure

I am using ground powder to make this instant coffee as using coffee beans can be time-consuming. Therefore, I am showing the simplest method of making coffee without using any equipment at home and making it in a simpler way quickly and easily.

Tips

  • Make coffee using any bean powder such as instant coffee powder or espresso.
  • Espresso is too strong sometimes depending on its roast intensity as roasting depends on light, medium and dark roast.
  • Drinking black coffee 30 minutes before meals or on an empty stomach helps lose tummy fat and is best to take it during noon or during evenings.
  • It also helps in weight loss if consumed plain without adding any cream and sugar to the drink.
  • If the drink is hard to consume and tastes bitter, add honey and drink it.
  • Do not take it in excess quantity and never drink coffee before sleep as it may cause a lack of sleep, as well as an overdose of coffee, which leads to anxiety and stress.
