TL;DR Summary

Freshly ground coffee maximizes antioxidants, with lighter to medium roasts preserving more CGAs than dark. Longer, filtered brews boost antioxidant extraction while reducing LDL-raising compounds. Decaf also offers benefits. For most adults, up to about four cups per day (roughly 400 mg caffeine) is reasonable, ideally with meals to aid digestion and blood sugar regulation. If you have reflux, choose low-acid or darker roasts; diversify benefits with other polyphenol-rich foods.
