    They’re correct, but also exaggerating it. If you ask somebody to brew you a cup using a french press, and using the same ground coffee, a batch of a pour over, you’ll notice some oils floating on the french press cup and not the pour over. So indeed, the paper filter will remove lipids from the brew. But are those in a quantity that could “raise cholesterol in some people”? Absolutely not, you’d have to be chugging coffee like a monster and even then, the tablespoon of butter you use in your toast is a much bigger concern.

    I love coffee, a lot. I love the smell, the taste, the ritual of making it. Once you’re drinking it a lot, it’s also very hard to cut back because if you do you get those massive headaches and you feel like your brain is foggy.

    But suddenly I was feeling angry, irritable, had trouble sleeping and was not following along the material from my master’s research that I used to have no problem reading. So I forced myself to quit caffeine. Ooooooh boy. Turns out drinking a lot of coffee really does mess you up. The first couple of days were terrible, but by the fourth day I was waking up singing with the birds as if I was a Disney princess.

    Now I still drink coffee, but only when I wake up and only one cup. No more than that.
