Over half of all Americans – a whopping 62 percent – drink coffee every day, up from 57 percent in 2016. Coffee drinking has long been viewed as an acquired habit, with the main benefit being a quick energy boost to help one wake up and get through the day. Fortunately, this view is now shifting toward the actual great health benefits of coffee as they continue to be uncovered. With all these health benefits and more, this KETO organic coffee recipe is a hit with even the most discerning coffee connoisseur.
Just a quick reminder. Be sure to keep in mind that coffee beans are one of the most heavy pesticide sprayed crops in the world. So if you are drinking even just one daily cup of coffee, be sure to purchase organic coffee.

4 Health Tips for Drinking Keto Organic Coffee
To get the many therapeutic benefits from drinking coffee, consider the following.
- Always Choose Organic. Coffee beans are one of the most heavily sprayed crops with pesticides. Choose coffee beans that are certified organic. You will eliminate the many positive effects coffee can provide if you drink coffee that’s been drenched in pesticides or other toxic chemicals.
- Purchase Whole Beans. Purchase whole bean coffee that smells and tastes fresh. If there is not a pleasant aroma, it is probably rancid. Take time to grind the coffee yourself to prevent rancidity. Coffee that is already ground may actually be rancid by the time you get it home.
- Non-bleached Coffee Filters. If you use a “drip” coffee maker, always use non-bleached filters. The bright white ones are chlorine-bleached, and some of this chlorine will leach from the filter during the brewing process. Bleached filters are also notoriously full of dangerous disinfection byproducts, such as dioxin.
- Coffee Container. Be extremely careful about the coffee cup you use. Avoid plastic cups as the BPA will leach into your coffee. Avoid Styrofoam cups that will leach polystyrene molecules. Glass and ceramic mugs are the safest way to enjoy your coffee.
