The emergence of all these coffee places has also give the rise to "coffee experts"
Well we decided to put them to the test! We gave them two cups of coffee to find out which one is caffeinated and which one is decaf, (when both of them are the same cup). Can they sniff them out?
It pays to drink more decaf coffee too...
A study of over 28,000 participants found that over a 10-year period, people who drink at least three cups of coffee a day had lower levels of four liver enzymes often linked to damage and inflammation. The best part? Decaf drinkers enjoy the benefit, too.
Compared with those who don’t drink coffee at all, those who drank six cups of regular coffee a day have a 33 percent lower risk of type 2 diabetes. But if you’re sipping on decaf, you’ll still get some of the benefit — one cup of decaf per day led to a six percent reduction in type 2 diabetes risk.
Still sceptical about decaf coffee? Don't take our word for it. Go try it for yourself here!
Inspired from traditional Vietnamese practices, farmers soak the coffee beans in 100% pure water during long hours while controlling temperature and flow.
The unique Nescafé filtering technology will then separate water from the coffee, removing the caffeine while preserving the purity and strong taste.
