The 5 Coffee Myths You Need to Stop Believing Right Now
☕ 1. Coffee Dehydrates You
The Myth: Coffee is a diuretic, so it makes you lose more fluids than it gives.
The Truth: Unless you’re downing 5+ cups at once, your latte does count toward your daily hydration. Moderate caffeine intake doesn’t cancel out the water content.
💧 Coffee: the underrated hydration hero.
🔥 2. Dark Roast = More Caffeine
The Myth: The darker the roast, the stronger the caffeine hit.
The Truth: Lighter roasts actually pack more caffeine per bean because the roasting process burns some off.
Think: light roast = jitter ninja.
🌿 3. Coffee Is Bad for Your Health
The Myth: Coffee wrecks your heart, brain, and soul.
The Truth: Coffee is packed with antioxidants, linked to lower risks of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and even some cancers—when consumed in moderation.
Translation: It’s not a guilty pleasure. It’s a health flex.
💤 4. Coffee Helps You Sober Up
The Myth: A strong cup of joe will snap you out of a drunken stupor.
The Truth: It just makes you a more alert drunk. Your coordination, judgment, and reflexes are still trash.
Sorry frat bros, coffee ≠ cop-proof.
💸 5. Expensive Coffee = Better Coffee
The Myth: If it costs $8, it must be liquid gold.
The Truth: A good bean doesn’t need a resume. Great-tasting coffee can come from your local roaster, your grandma’s percolator, or a $20 French press.
Taste > Trend. Always.
✅ Final Sip:
Coffee is the most misunderstood hero in your kitchen. Don’t let bad info ruin a good brew. Next time someone throws a coffee myth your way, you’ve got the facts—and the mug to match.
