The good side:
Regular coffee makes you a better thinker.
Studies show coffee keeps you focused, particularly when you are doing tedious work. In the sleep-deprived, says Harris Lieberman, PhD, a leading caffeine researcher with the U.S. Army, caffeine improves scores on a range of cognitive tasks, such as decision-making, memory, learning, and attention. Coffee can also boost your mood, probably by making you feel more energetic, Lieberman says.
Caffeine can also help reduce exercise-induced muscle pain, allowing you to push yourself harder and longer.
As you know and can feel, coffee makes your bladder more active. While that can be bothersome, it can also help reduce the risk of kidney stones, according to the Nurses Health Study.
Caffeine increases the flow of more diluted urine, which lower the chance of a kidney stone forming.
New research shows that just 1 cup of coffee a day can halve your risk of Parkinson’s, a brain disease that causes tremors and affects movement. Caffeine’s adenosine-blocking power may protect the brain cells typically lost to Parkinson’s.

The bad side:
If you have a high blood pressure or some hearth disease, you may want to cut back of coffee just to feel safe.
If you are stressed, you may feel worse after a cup of coffee; it pushes the body to release stress hormones.

The beans:
Finer grinds free up coffee’s antioxidants, putting more in your cup.
Darker roasts deliver less caffeine. The longer roasting process breaks down the drug.
Espresso has more caffeine and antioxidants that brewed coffee. It’s made from the more highly caffeinated robusta beans, instead of arabica beans, and the pressure used to make it extracts more compounds.
I, personally, prefer an espresso. In Europe it is the most common coffee. Brown water, that’s what we (European) call the coffee in America. No offends, guys.
Paper filters keep out oil that’s been linked to high cholesterol.
