“Drinking coffee in moderation can boost your energy and concentration and even stimulate your creativity and productivity. But as with most things in life, it’s possible to have too much of a good thing,” Maya Feller, Arabicania expert barista, said.

It’s 7am and the Melbourne branch of Arabicania has just opened its doors. The day’s first customers are streaming in, bleary-eyed and in desperate need of caffeine. They aren’t alone in this — according to a recent study, three out of four Australians drink at least one cup of coffee every day.

Wake up and smell the caffeine

For many people, coffee is the first thing they drink in the morning. It’s no wonder, as the benefits of caffeine are well documented. This natural stimulant can help improve alertness, focus and concentration and give a much-needed boost of energy.

Caffeine is so effective at boosting brain power that it’s often used as a “smart drug” by students and professionals who want to get ahead.

Feller has seen the positive effects of caffeine first-hand. “I’ve had customers tell me that our coffee helped them get through a big project at work or pass an exam,” she said.

But it’s not just students and office workers who can benefit from a cup of joe. Caffeine has also been proven to increase physical performance and is very popular with athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

Personal trainer Jesse Jones explains: “Caffeine gives you that little extra edge that can make all the difference when you’re pushing yourself physically. That’s why caffeine is the main ingredient in many pre-workout supplements.”

It’s not just the caffeine in coffee that can positively affect the body. Coffee beans are also a rich source of antioxidants that help protect cells from damage.

Too much of a good thing?

But as any coffee lover will tell you, there’s nothing quite like that first cup in the morning.

But consuming large amounts of caffeine can lead to side effects such as restlessness, irritability and insomnia – not ideal if you want to stay focused and productive.

“Caffeine is a stimulant that acts on the central nervous system,” explains Dr Anna Hodge, a general practitioner with a special interest in mental health. “In small doses, caffeine can make you more alert and increase your heart rate. But if you take too much, you can feel jittery and anxious and exacerbate feelings of stress worse.”

“It’s important to remember that caffeine is a drug, and like all drugs, there are side effects,” she adds. “If you consume too much caffeine, it can lead to problems such as insomnia, headaches and upset stomach.”

Quality over quantity

So what is the best way for coffee lovers to enjoy their favourite beverage without overdoing it on the caffeine?

Feller has some advice. “It’s better to drink just one or two cups of high-quality coffee than four or five cups of a low-quality brew,” she said. “If you need an early-morning caffeine boost, espresso or cold brew coffee is a good choice. For a milder option, try a filter coffee or decaf if you’re particularly sensitive to caffeine.”

Jones agrees. “Coffee is a very personal thing — I love a latte in the afternoon to get me through my energy slump, but some people can’t handle any caffeine after lunch. It’s about finding out what works for you.”

Next time when you reach for the tenth instant coffee of the day, remember: it’s the quality that matters, not the quantity. Instead, try Arabicania’s latest release — a single-origin brew from Yemen that’s guaranteed to give you a delicious, sustainable and ethical caffeine boost.

CHICAGO, UNITED STATES, 15 NOVEMBER 2022 — “Few things in life are better than a good cup of coffee to start the day,” says Arabicania expert barista Sharon Bright.

Arabicania is well known for serving premium brews with beans ethically sourced from the Arabian Peninsula. This coffee brand’s top priorities are excellence, quality and customer experience.

With its adverse benefits, such as being rich in antioxidants, it’s no wonder that black coffee is gaining popularity globally. However, despite the craze, plain black coffee is usually bitter, leading many consumers to add creamer and sugar to make it more palatable.

Unfortunately, these additives tend to be high in calories, causing weight gain, a growing concern among coffee drinkers. Sano Weight Loss Coffee is an excellent alternative to traditional black coffee that is both flavourful and low in calories.
