Being a gym-loving coffee-addict, when I come across a great cup of coffee I can’t help but shout it from the rooftops and Lost Sheep’s at-home coffee pods and espresso filter roast coffee is most certainly shout-worthy. Their Arabica coffee, renowned for its smooth flavour and lower caffeine content, also offers several surprising health benefits. So let’s take a peek at why you should pour yourself a cup…
Antioxidant Powerhouse
- Rich in antioxidants: Arabica coffee is packed with antioxidants, which are compounds that help to protect your cells from damage caused by harmful free radicals.
- Reduced inflammation: Regular consumption may help to contribute to reduced inflammation in the body which is linked to chronic diseases.
Brain Boost
- Improved cognitive function: Caffeine in Arabica coffee can enhance focus, attention, and alertness, getting every morning off to a great start as I’m raring to go!
- Reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases: Some studies suggest that coffee consumption may actually lower the risk of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
Liver Protection
- Reduced liver damage: Certain compounds in Arabica coffee may help to protect the liver from damage and reduce the risk of liver diseases.
Potential Heart Health Benefits
- Lower risk of heart disease: Studies indicate that moderate coffee consumption may be associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.
- Improved blood pressure: Some studies suggest that coffee might help to lower blood pressure.
Other Potential Benefits Of Drinking Coffee
- Weight management: Caffeine can boost metabolism and increase fat burning.
- Reduced risk of type 2 diabetes: Some studies have shown a link between coffee consumption and a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
While these health benefits are promising, it’s essential to consume coffee in moderation as excessive caffeine intake can lead to side effects such as anxiety, insomnia, and digestive issues. Additionally, coffee is not suitable for everyone, such as pregnant women, individuals with anxiety disorders, or those who are sensitive to caffeine.
If you’re trying coffee for the first time, or rarely drink it, start with one cup per day and increase your intake slowly to avoid unwanted side effects. I typically consume around four cups of coffee per day, spread across my morning and early afternoon, being careful not to consume caffeine after 4pm so that I can enjoy a restful nights sleep.
Lost Sheep Coffee
I recently stumbled across Lost Sheep Coffee, which is a small, family-owned business with a big passion for coffee. Founded by two friends who fell in love with Aussie-style coffee on a backpacking trip to Melbourne, Lost Sheep Coffee sources high-quality beans and roasts them to perfection in the picturesque Kent, England.
Captivated by Australia’s coffee culture, specifically the rich, flavourful flat whites that they enjoyed at cafes in Melbourne. Upon returning home to England, the duo couldn’t find coffee that quite measured up. So, they decided to take matters into their own hands and start their own coffee roasting company.
Committed to sourcing the finest coffee beans from around the world. They work directly with farmers to ensure that they are getting ethically sourced, high-quality beans. The company is also passionate about sustainability and uses eco-friendly packaging whenever possible. With a wide variety of coffee products to suit every taste and brewing preference, their coffee pods are a deliciously convenient option for busy mornings, while their espresso filter roast coffee is perfect for those who enjoy a more traditional cup.
Lost Sheep Coffee’s coffee pods are lovingly made with 100% Arabica beans and are compatible with most major pod machines, slipping into my Nespresso a treat. They come in a variety of flavours, including classic espresso, smooth latte, and intense dark roast and I’ve stocked up on their Morning Fruity-Bold-Caramel and Smooth Chocolate-Sweet-Creamy pods. Excuse me whilst I salivate as I type!
Their espresso filter roast coffee is a full-bodied coffee that is perfect for making espresso or enjoying mindfully in a French press if you’re feeling more traditional. Expertly made with made with a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans, it has the most delightfully rich, chocolatey flavour that makes every last sip feel like a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Whether you’re a coffee aficionado, or simply looking for a delicious cup of coffee to start your day, their commitment to quality, sustainability, and great taste makes them a proud staple in my kitchen, and I adore how each cup helps to support sustainability and fair trade. Fancy a cup?
