Which type of coffee is more beneficial?

There are various methods of preparing coffee, each affecting the taste and beneficial properties. In an interview with the sb.by portal, nutrition expert Svetlana Sinichenko discussed the positive and negative aspects of different methods.

Coffee Machine
Modern coffee machines allow control over water temperature, pressure, and other parameters, ensuring consistent results. Coffee is prepared quickly and easily with the machine. However, if the device breaks down, one has to look for an alternative option.

Coffee Maker
The advantage of this method is the availability of various models: drip brewers, moka pots, French presses, and others. Many models come with a timer and automatic shut-off function. However, quality coffee makers can be expensive and require time for cleaning. Some models can only brew a specific amount of coffee, which may be inconvenient for a single cup.

Turk (Jezve)
This traditional method is often associated with coffee prepared at home. It allows for monitoring the coffee preparation process and adjusting the taste. However, if not attended to, the coffee can boil over and lose its flavor. This method requires more time and attention compared to other options.

Cup (Direct Method)
The simplest method is just pouring boiling water over ground coffee. However, it is difficult to precisely control the water temperature and brewing time, which can affect the quality of the coffee.

Which one is better in terms of benefits?
According to the nutritionist, regardless of the method used, coffee contains antioxidants that protect cells. The caffeine content depends on the type of bean and the preparation method. For example, espresso may contain less caffeine than filtered coffee.

Although black coffee is a calorie-free drink, the addition of sugar, milk, or cream significantly increases its energy value.

Conclusion: When choosing a coffee preparation method, it is important to consider personal taste, convenience, and expected results.
