No single answer exists regarding whether espresso or drip coffee are healthier options for consumption, though both can be enjoyed responsibly in moderation. How your body responds depends on many personal factors and habits: frequency, milk type used and additions such as sugar or other sweeteners may all influence how your stomach feels after drinking either type. Furthermore, how beans are prepared and brewed could impact their caffeine content as well as tolerance – regardless of brewing method both can provide heart-healthy antioxidants and energy-boosting caffeine!

No matter which style of coffee or espresso you enjoy, both can help soothe an upset stomach more than regular hot water does. One reason is due to espresso’s lower volume: 1 ounce for an espresso shot while an 8-12-ounce cup of drip coffee usually holds 8. The smaller serving sizes also help decrease bloating and discomfort as less liquid enters your stomach at one time, thereby lessening acid exposure exposure over time as your stomach digests your beverage of choice.

Roast level can have an immense impact on acid levels. Dark roasts tend to break down chlorogenic acids during the brewing process, helping reduce stomach sensitivity; light roasts may retain more of these acids which could prompt stronger reactions in your stomach.

Filtered coffee may remove some of the beneficial antioxidants found in beans. Furthermore, paper filters used in filtered coffee may trap diterpenes which have been linked with higher risks of heart disease and reduced levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Though there’s no one-size-fits-all answer as to which type of coffee is better, espresso may be less taxing on your digestive system due to being consumed more rapidly and in smaller volumes than drip coffee. Furthermore, for maximum digestion benefits it’s ideal to drink your beverage along with milk and food to maximize absorption and aid digestion.

No harm comes from drinking coffee regularly as long as you don’t go beyond what is considered optimal intake levels, according to studies published in Frontiers in Nutrition journal in 2018. Coffee drinkers may reap multiple health benefits including reduced risks of cancer and dementia according to one 2018 research paper published by Frontiers in Nutrition journal; just remember to limit caffeine consumption as too much can lead to dehydration, high blood pressure and even heart palpitations if drank in excess. Also make sure that your diet includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains when drinking coffee!
