Black filter coffee (infusion) is almost calorie-free and provides caffeine (typically 80-100mg per 200ml mug), a range of polyphenols including chlorogenic acids, and trace minerals including magnesium and potassium. Regular moderate coffee consumption (3-5 cups per day) is associated in large prospective studies with lower risk of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, liver disease, and all-cause mortality.
Drink black or with a small amount of milk to keep calories minimal; the polyphenol benefits apply regardless of milk addition. Avoid drinking on an empty stomach if prone to acid reflux.
