Potential Risks of Excess Coffee Consumption

1. Sleep pattern changes
2. Increased anxiety
3. Staining of the teeth (my dentist always bugs me about this one.)
4. Effects on pregnancy and menopause
5. Cholesterol (French Press method can use trap cafestol and kahweol which may raise LDL levels that paper filters capture)


Overall, coffee offers many benefits and very little side effects to the average consumer of this beverage. You’ll reap more rewards by drinking it in moderation. That’s 1-2 cups per day. Overconsumption of caffeine does have its drawbacks.
