There are a host of serious liver diseases which can be positively impacted by drinking coffee. Please see Purity PROTECT for more in-depth information on coffee and the liver. Strong and consistent evidence shows that consumption of coffee within the moderate range is not associated with increased risk of major chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer and premature death in health adults.” We prepare, organize, document and send off our profile samples for testing. Our scientists are evaluating the data and developing standards as we submit green coffees and roast profiles to them. Mancini R.S., Wang Y., Weaver D.F. (2018). Phenylindanes in Brewed Coffee Inhibit Amyloid-Beta and Tau Aggregation. Frontiers in Neuroscience. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2018.00735.To test the medium, dark roast, and decaf whole beans, we used a Chemex and ground our coffee beans just before brewing. The starter kit includes a manual burr grinder — similar to the JavaPresse grinder that we’ve reviewed before— that’s easy to use and clean.

Caffeine is a chemical produced in dozens of plant species, and, of course, coffee is the plant most often cited for having caffeine.
