Here are eight health benefits of your daily cup that may make you appreciate your favorite brew even more.

1. Boosts Physical Performance

Did you know that coffee can enhance your physical performance? Caffeine, the active ingredient in coffee, increases adrenaline levels, which prepares your body for intense physical exertion. This is why athletes often use coffee as a natural performance enhancer before workouts. Whether you're hitting the gym or running through your daily routine, that shot of espresso can give you the extra energy to push through.

2. Loaded with Essential Nutrients

Coffee is packed with essential nutrients like vitamins B2, B3, and B5, as well as manganese and potassium. A cup of coffee may not replace a balanced diet, but it's an easy and delicious way to get a daily dose of important vitamins and minerals. At 787 Coffee, our specialty brews made from high-quality beans retain these nutrients, offering not just great taste but also added health benefits.

3. A Powerful Source of Antioxidants

Coffee is one of the biggest sources of antioxidants in many people’s diets. Antioxidants help protect your cells from damage and are known for their role in preventing chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. Our 787 Coffee beans are grown with care in Puerto Rico’s rich soil, making each cup an antioxidant powerhouse that helps fight free radicals in your body.



4. Supports Mental Health and Brain Function

That morning cup of coffee doesn’t just wake you up—it can improve your brain function, too. Research has shown that coffee boosts cognitive function by enhancing focus, memory, and reaction times. Regular coffee consumption is also linked to a lower risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. At 787 Coffee, we know that a well-brewed cup can be the fuel for your productivity and mental clarity.

5. May Lower the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes

Several studies have found that coffee drinkers have a significantly reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This is likely due to the way coffee affects blood sugar regulation. By drinking coffee regularly, you may be reducing your risk of this chronic disease. Whether you enjoy our smooth, rich coffee black or with milk, your daily cup may be contributing to better long-term health.

6. Improves Mood and Reduces the Risk of Depression

Coffee isn’t just good for your body—it’s good for your mood, too. Caffeine acts as a mild antidepressant by increasing the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline, all of which play a role in regulating mood. Regular coffee consumption has been linked to a lower risk of depression and may help improve your overall sense of well-being.

7. Supports Heart Health

While there has been some debate in the past, modern research shows that moderate coffee consumption (around 3-4 cups per day) may actually lower the risk of heart disease. Caffeine can improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of stroke. Enjoying a cup of our coffee from ethically sourced, hand-picked beans can be a flavorful part of your heart-healthy lifestyle.

8. Aids in Fat Burning

If you're looking to rev up your metabolism, coffee may help. Studies show that caffeine can increase fat burning by up to 10% in people with obesity and 29% in lean individuals. It stimulates the nervous system, signaling your body to break down fat and use it as energy. So next time you visit one of our 787 Coffee locations, know that your favorite brew can be part of your wellness and fitness goals.
