There’s more to coffee than most people realise. The Journal is where we share what we’re learning, not just about our own blends, but about coffee itself.
Coffee is one of the most widely consumed drinks in the world, yet most people think about it very little beyond flavour, habit, or caffeine. At the same time, the research around coffee keeps growing, from how it’s grown and processed to the compounds naturally present in the bean and the role they may play in long-term health.
We think that’s worth paying attention to.

Most of us drink coffee without ever really looking at it. The drink we treat as fuel began as a fruit, carries hundreds of aroma compounds, and contains far more than caffeine. Here is what is really in your cup, and a few simple ways to get more from the one you already drink.
The popular answer is that hot brew wins. The honest answer is more interesting, and it probably will not change how you make your coffee.
