How To Make Your Morning Coffee Healthier (Hint: It’s Not Just About Sugar!)
Let’s Connect on Social
Your morning coffee should do more than just wake you up-it should fuel your body, support your health, and make you feel amazing. At 787 Coffee, we believe great coffee starts at the farm and ends with how you enjoy it. We’ll show you simple ways to turn your daily brew into a wellness ritual. From clean ingredients to healthy brewing method, we’re spilling the beans (literally) on how to enjoy your favorite drink without the guilt. Let’s make your coffee healthier- without losing the flavor you love!
Choose Quality beans, Ideally Organic and Light-To-Medium Roast.
The journey to a healthier cup of coffee starts even before the brew: it begins with the bean itself. For the most beneficial brew, prioritize high-quality, ideally organic, and light-to-medium roast beans. Why organic? It minimizes your exposure to pesticides and herbicides that can be used in conventional coffee farming. When it comes to the roast, lighter roasts, particularly green coffee beans, naturally retain a higher concentration of polyphenols. These powerful compounds are coffee's natural antioxidants, and they're what contribute significantly to coffee's renowned health benefits. At 787 Coffee, we meticulously source our beans to ensure you're getting not just a delicious cup, but also one that's as clean and beneficial as possible.
Rethink Your Sweetener: Ditch the Sugar, Embrace Nature’s Flavor Boosters!
Coffee is naturally rich in antioxidants and compounds that support your health—from boosting energy and metabolism to protecting against chronic diseases. But let’s be real: adding spoonfuls of sugar can cancel out many of those benefits. Studies show that refined sugar adds empty calories, increases your risk of inflammation, and causes spikes in blood sugar that may lead to energy crashes or long-term health issues.
At 787 Coffee, we’re all about helping you enjoy coffee in ways that are both delicious and nourishing. That’s why we encourage you to skip the sugar and try nature’s flavor boosters instead. A simple sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa, or even turmeric can transform your coffee—giving it a warm, rich flavor without the downsides of processed sweeteners.
These natural ingredients don’t just taste good—they’re loaded with antioxidants and other compounds that support brain function, heart health, and even help fight inflammation. It's flavor with benefits. 💪

Brew Smart: Optimize Your Method for Health and Flavor
The way you brew your coffee plays a crucial role in its health profile and taste. To unlock the healthiest benefits, we recommend two key strategies: using paper filters for hot brews and embracing cold brew.
Why Paper Filters Matter?
Using a paper filter when brewing your hot coffee isn’t just about keeping grounds out of your cup—it actually makes your coffee healthier. Paper filters catch natural oils in coffee that can raise “bad” cholesterol. By using one, you’re helping your heart and getting a cleaner, smoother-tasting cup. Win-win!
Smoother, Gentler Coffee? Cold Brew is the Answer
If regular coffee feels a bit harsh, cold brew might be your new best friend. Made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for 12–24 hours, cold brew is naturally lower in acid and easier on your stomach. It’s a great choice if you deal with acid reflux or just want something smoother.
Cold brew also has a naturally sweeter, mellow flavor, so you may not even need extra sugar or cream. Want to try something fun? Grab a tin of our 787 Coffee Cold Brew Mints for a cool twist on your favorite brew.
At our coffee shops or from your home, we make it easy to enjoy a better cup. Just ask for cold brew next time you visit—or check out our cold brew bags through our coffee subscription. Easy to make, easy to love.
Why Healthier Coffee Matters: It’s More Than Just a Morning Drink
Coffee isn’t just how you start your day—it’s part of your wellness routine. At 787 Coffee, we believe your daily cup should taste amazing and support your health.
When made right, coffee is full of powerful antioxidants—especially polyphenols—that help your body fight off damage and stay strong. In fact, research shows that drinking coffee in moderation can:
Support heart health (especially when made with a paper filter)
Lower the risk of Type 2 diabetes and some cancers
Protect brain health, possibly lowering the risk of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
Boost your mood and focus
Help keep your liver healthy
But here’s the thing: loading your coffee with sugar, artificial sweeteners, or heavy syrups can undo all those benefits. That’s why we encourage our community to keep it real—real flavor, real ingredients, real coffee.
At 787 Coffee, we’re here to help you enjoy your brew in the healthiest, most delicious way possible. Let’s turn your daily coffee into something that fuels both your body and your day.
