The cold drip coffee extraction process helps preserve the coffee’s antioxidants and essential oils.

These compounds can reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Manage weight

The caffeine in cold drip coffee can increase how many calories you burn at rest. This may make it easier to lose or maintain weight.

Reduce depression

A review of studies in over 370,000 people found that those who drank coffee had lower rates of depression. In fact, for every cup of coffee consumed per day, depression risk sank by 8%.

Lower risk of heart disease

Drinking 3–5 cups of coffee (15–25 ounces or 450–750 ml) daily may lower your risk of heart disease by up to 15%, compared to people who don’t drink coffee.

Lower chance of type 2 diabetes

One study in over 36,900 people ages 45–74 found that those who drank at least 4 cups of coffee per day had a 30% lower risk of type 2 diabetes than individuals who didn’t drink coffee daily

Ward off Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s

It appears that several compounds in coffee, such as phenylindanes, as well as harman and nonharman compounds, provide protection against Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

One observational study found that people who drank 3–5 cups of coffee per day during mid-life had a 65% lower risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s in old age.

Live longer

A long-term study in 229,119 men and 173,141 women ages 50–71 found that the more coffee people drank, the lower their risk of death from heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, injuries, accidents, diabetes, and infections.

Antioxidants are compounds that help prevent cell damage that can lead to chronic illnesses and cold drip packs some very potent antioxidants, such as caffeoylquinic acid (CQA).

Easy on the stomach

The less acidic coffee extracted during the cold drip process is also said to be gentler on your stomach.
