Researchers from the European Heart Journal found that drinking coffee in the morning may lower the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. However, drinking coffee all day provides no added health benefits. A journalist, Harry Wallop, shared his excitement about this research since he enjoys morning coffee and sees it as part of his daily ritual. He uses an Aeropress to make strong coffee and believes the process of brewing coffee, not just the caffeine, helps him start his day. Despite trying to quit coffee twice, Harry experienced severe withdrawal symptoms like headaches and brain fog. Now, he's happy to learn that morning coffee can be good for him.
