Your Coffee, Unfiltered

Ah, coffee – the aromatic potion that transforms morning zombies into semi-functioning human beings. If you think your daily cup of joe is just a lifeline to consciousness, think again! Grab your favourite mug and make yourself a WillPowder's Coffee because we're about to spill the beans on the health benefits of coffee, that go beyond just keeping you awake during boring meetings, and your need to knows when you’re tempted to just pick up any old jar. 

1. Nootropic Nirvana: Brewed Brilliance for Your Brain

First things first, coffee is a nootropic, which is just a fancy way of saying it turns your brain into a superhero. The caffeine in coffee is like a friendly wake-up call to your neurons, boosting cognitive function and making you the Einstein of your office. It's basically a legal and non-jittery version of superpowers.

2. Neurological No-No to Disorders

Sip, sip, hooray! Turns out your love for coffee might just be protecting your noggin. Studies suggest that the glorious elixir can lower the risk of neurological disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. So, while you're sipping that latte, you're basically giving your brain a self-care package – take that, forgetfulness!

3. Espresso Yourself: Coffee for Endurance and Exercise

Forget the energy drinks that taste like liquid electricity. Coffee is the real MVP for workouts. Caffeine increases adrenaline levels, boosting physical performance and endurance. Think of it as your personal cheerleader, but in a cup – "Go, you! Lift those weights like you're lifting the weight of the world!"

4. Liver Lover: Coffee’s Benefits for Your Second Hardest-Working Organ

Your liver, the unsung hero of your body, deserves some love. Good news – coffee's got your liver's back. It helps protect against liver diseases, like cirrhosis and fatty liver disease. So, your liver can continue being the silent superhero, detoxifying your body without asking for recognition.

5. The Components of Cool: What’s in That Cuppa?

Coffee is more than just a liquid hug for your brain. It's a treasure trove of antioxidants and essential nutrients. From vitamins B2 and B3 to potassium and manganese – coffee is practically a liquid multivitamin. Who needs pills when you can have a latte, right?

However, every coin has two sides and so can your caffeine fix.  Ah, the age-old debate – organic vs. non-organic coffee. It's like choosing between a superhero and a sidekick, right? Right!

Organic coffee is grown without the heavy use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals that can linger on the beans. These chemicals, while effective against pests, can leave behind a residue that not even a triple shot of espresso can wash away. Enter organic coffee – the superhero that says, "Nope, not on my watch."

Without the pesticide parade, organic coffee beans can focus on their true calling – delivering a pure, unadulterated coffee flavour and nootropic burst without the unwanted baggage of chemical residues. Organic coffee is often grown in nutrient-rich soils, thanks to the use of organic fertilisers and sustainable farming practices. Think of it as the coffee plants doing yoga in a lush, organic garden. These nutrient-packed soils result in healthier, more robust coffee plants that are better equipped to fend off diseases, including the dreaded mould. 

In addition, many organic coffee farms embrace shade-grown cultivation, where coffee plants coexist with tall trees and lush vegetation. This natural ecosystem acts as a shield against the harsh elements, providing a more stable and controlled environment for coffee growth. In this shaded haven, mould struggles to find a foothold, making your beans less likely to succumb to its fuzzy embrace.

Organic coffee often follows a more direct route from farm to cup, bypassing the lengthy storage periods that can plague mass-produced non-organic varieties. Less time on the shelf means fewer opportunities for mould to stage a takeover. It's the coffee equivalent of a red carpet entrance – swift, glamorous, and free from the clutches of mouldy drama.

In the event that you’re nowhere near a boujee independent coffee house,  Pret is a great option for a coffee on the fly. Pret stands out in its commitment to sustainably sourced beans, and emphasises the importance of its ethical sourcing, fair wages for farmers and environmentally friendly practices. Additionally, Pret often prioritises organic and single-origin coffees, promoting a more unique and flavourful experience compared to Starbucks' broader offerings.

One more reason to invest in your coffee…

Our infamous WillPowders’ coffee has got rave reviews across our FFS Community, helping men and women to crush cravings, find that satiety sweet spot, fuel their brain and look after their guts, but much like we advocate for mould free coffee, so does our WillPowders’ coffee. It’s a very clever coffee! 

Our Swiss Grass Fed Bovine Collagen Peptides, MCT Keto creamer and MCT Oil can detect mouldy coffee the minute it touches your cup, resulting in difficulties when trying to blend your amino acid magic with your caffeine fix. Why? Because it is of such high quality!  The science behind it is flocculation. 

Now, imagine you have a glass of muddy water. In this water, there are tiny particles floating around, making it look cloudy. Now, if you want to make the water clear and clean, you need to get rid of those particles.  Now imagine coffee with a compromised integrity i.e. mould.  The tiny and unwanted particles in your mouldy coffee start holding hands with your Collagen, MCT Keto Creamer and MCT Oil and forming groups.  As more and more particles join the party, the flocs become bigger and heavier resulting in a lump and an unblendable version of our frothy and delicious WillPowders’ coffee.  So, word to the wise, if you want to enjoy a coffee that is going keep you on your WillPowders’ way, avoid flocculation and splash out on some mould free Joe!
