COFFEE CAN’T GO ALONE

At mid-morning we must eat, for example, a fruit and not replace this food intake with a coffee. These small gestures will help us maintain a healthy diet and use coffee responsibly.

DO NOT ABUSE

As with any other food, we should not abuse coffee. Drinking one or two a day is more than enough to fill our need for caffeine. Otherwise, we will feel excessively nervous, it will be hard to sleep and each time we will need more coffee to notice the effects of this. If what you miss is the taste, remember that there are several brands of decaffeinated that are equally delicious.
