How To Improve Gut Health?

Coffee is more than just a morning ritual. It's a drink that contributes to gut health while offering a satisfying way to begin your day. Recent research highlighted by Sprudge explains how coffee can positively impact your gut microbiota.

How Coffee Supports Gut Health

Studies reveal that coffee contains prebiotics, which nourish beneficial gut bacteria. These compounds, along with polyphenols and dietary fibres, contribute to a healthy microbiota, improving digestion and overall health. Drinking coffee can also increase the production of butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid known for its anti-inflammatory properties. The Sprudge article delves into these benefits, underscoring coffee’s potential to heal gut health and enhance well-being.

But for the best coffee, the quality of water matters. Bluewater Café Station 1™ ensures that your coffee is brewed with the purest water, filtered using its SuperiorOsmosis™ technology. This filtration system removes up to 99.7% of contaminants, preserving the natural flavours of your coffee beans.

Choosing the Right Coffee Machine for Gut-Friendly Brews

Not all coffee makers are created equal. When selecting a coffee machine, it’s important to consider how the water is filtered and how the coffee beans are processed. The right equipment and technique can preserve the delicate balance of nutrients and flavours in your brew.

The Bluewater Café Station 1™ goes beyond traditional coffee machines by combining water purification with mineral dosing. By using Swedish minerals like calcium and magnesium in an optimal 2:1 ratio, it enhances both the taste and health benefits of your coffee.

Healthy Breakfast Ideas Featuring Coffee

Pairing coffee with a healthy breakfast can amplify its benefits for gut health. Consider these combinations:

Oats with Fresh Berries and Coffee: The dietary fibre in oats, combined with the polyphenols in coffee, creates a powerful gut-health duo.
Avocado Toast with a Cold Brew Coffee: The healthy fats in avocado pair well with the smooth flavour of cold brew coffee.
Greek Yoghurt and Vietnamese Coffee: Probiotic-rich yoghurt complements the strong, bold taste of Vietnamese coffee.

Each of these options works wonderfully with coffee brewed using the Bluewater Café Station 1™, ensuring every sip supports your well-being.

The Importance of Coffee and Water Quality

The water-to-coffee ratio is critical to achieving the perfect cup. Most experts recommend a ratio of 1:15 (1 gram of coffee to 15 grams of water). But even the best coffee beans can be let down by poor water quality. That’s why the Bluewater Café Station 1™ integrates a state-of-the-art filtration system to remove impurities and optimise water quality for brewing.

Additionally, businesses using Café Station 1™ reduce single-use plastic bottles and create sustainable practices by serving coffee made with locally purified water. This aligns with Bluewater’s mission to create planet-friendly beverages.

How Much Caffeine Is in a Cup of Coffee?

The caffeine content in a cup of coffee varies depending on factors such as brewing method, type of coffee bean, and serving size. On average, an 8-ounce (240-millilitre) cup of brewed coffee contains approximately 80 to 100 milligrams of caffeine. However, this amount can fluctuate, with some cups containing as little as 70 milligrams and others having as much as 140 milligrams or more.(Medical News Today)

It's important to note that different brewing methods yield varying caffeine levels. For instance, a single shot (1 ounce or 30 millilitres) of espresso typically contains about 63 milligrams of caffeine, while an 8-ounce cup of instant coffee may have around 62 milligrams.(Healthline)

For healthy adults, a daily intake of up to 400 milligrams of caffeine—roughly equivalent to four 8-ounce cups of brewed coffee—is generally considered safe. However, individual tolerance levels can vary, and it's advisable to monitor your own response to caffeine consumption.(Mayo Clinic)
