> How you brew your coffee also has health consequences. Unlike filter coffee makers, a French press, Turkish coffee or the boiled coffee popular in Scandinavian countries fails to catch a compound called cafestol in the oily part of coffee. Cafestol can increase your bad cholesterol or LDL (low-density lipoproteins).
Most Europeans are drinking espresso, I get the impression it’s not as healthy as filter drip coffee, which is somewhat rare to find.
- klohto 6y ago> filter drip coffee, which is somewhat rare to find I disagree. Any good coffee spot that doesn't have the usual coffee franchise branding can do V60 or has batch brew. You would be surprised how many smaller cities even in central/eastern Europe have lively coffee culture. Which city disappointed you?
- jb1991 6y agoOh it’s true I have seen the occasional pour over served when I am ordering a drip coffee. But most of the cafés at least in the Netherlands or Belgium are just using espresso machines. And I very much love good espresso and cappuccino, but after reading this article, I’m thinking I should try something different at home.
