Energy crashes are almost a universal experience for coffee drinkers, especially those with multiple cups throughout the day. To solve this frustrating problem, better-for-you-brand Minus Coffee has crafted the Minus Instant Vanilla Oat Milk Latte, an instant, beanless coffee with no caffeine crashes. This innovative latte features 50 mg of caffeine, about half the caffeine in a standard cup of coffee. Each cup contains 6 grams of plant-based protein and L-theanine, an amino acid that helps reduce stress and anxiety.

This unique beanless coffee uses upcycled ingredients like date seeds, grape seeds, and other plant-based ingredients to create beanless coffee with the same taste as coffee without the negative impacts on well-being and the
environment. Maricel Saenz, CEO and founder of Minus Coffee has recently commented, “Minus Coffee reflects my new approach to life: being intentional, contributing to a healthier planet, prioritizing well-being, and making space for what truly matters. Because it’s not just about what’s in your cup; it’s about how you feel after you drink it.” This product aims to help coffee drinkers seek healthier alternatives to maintain more regular hormone levels.

Each bag contains ten servings of the beanless coffee in a resealable pouch. Minus Coffee tastes like traditional coffee, featuring rich notes of berries and dark chocolate with no earthy aftertaste. Its clean ingredient list means no chemical flavor from gums or artificial sweeteners; they are both non-GMO and gluten-free.

What your daily cup of coffee is really doing to you, new study explores
How your coffee habits unknowingly affect your health
Long black coffee

Do you know what your morning cup of coffee does to you? As it turns out, researchers from Tufts University have been asking this same question. A recent study published in The Journal of Nutrition examined the coffee-drinking habits of over 45,000 Americans from 1998 to 2018.  This observational study analyzed data from the National Death Index Mortality Data, suggesting that individuals who consumed one to three cups of black coffee had a 14% lower risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality compared to those who did not.

In addition to this key finding, the recently published study also found that individuals who drank more coffee achieved even better results. Those who had 2 to 3 cups of coffee had a 17% lower risk of all-cause mortality. However, the findings suggest that this research only applies to those who drank their coffee black. Adding cream and sugar to your coffee, even in small amounts, could completely negate the potential benefits of drinking black coffee. This study's findings come at a time when black coffee is on the rise, as health-focused coffee drinkers have begun to find new ways to eliminate added sugar and cream from their morning coffee.
"The health benefits of coffee consumption may be diminished when sugar and saturated fat are added," the study researchers concluded. It's also worth noting that this observational study only examined individuals who drank regular caffeinated coffee and did not explore the benefits associated with drinking decaf coffee. While this study suggests a correlation between coffee consumption and lower all-cause mortality, it does not necessarily indicate a causal relationship.

Why top chefs and restaurants are obsessed with this heritage coffee roaster
How Graffeo sets itself apart with a custom fluid bed roaster
Graffeo Coffee

Founded in 1935 by Italian immigrant Giovanni Graffeo, Graffeo Coffee remains true to its tradition of fluid bed roasting and continues to use a straightforward, high-quality approach when roasting coffee beans today. Graffeo later sold his roastery in 1954 to Giovanni Repetto from Liguria, who later passed the business down to his son, Luciano, in 1978. Luciano took a huge leap of faith by installing a custom-built fluid bed hot air roaster. Thus began a decades-long quest for the world’s finest roasted coffee.

Now, fast-forward to 2024, when sixth-generation San Franciscan Walter A. Haas invested in a percentage of Graffeo. Together with Luciano, Walter has committed to sticking to traditional ways, believing that the perfect cup of coffee is not so elusive after all. Today, in addition to its iconic North Beach location, Graffeo can be found in fine restaurants and specialty markets, including Lazy Bear, Zuni Cafe, House of Prime Rib, Cheese Store of Beverly Hills, and Girl and the Fig. Here's what makes Graffeo Coffee so popular amongst chefs and restaurants. Here's what chefs and restaurants have to share about what makes Graffeo so unique (and popular in the restaurant industry).
