Drinking lightly roasted coffee beans can help you lose weight and taste the coffee flavor better

Yes! The saying that drinking coffee can help you lose weight refers to black coffee without sugar or milk, because the chlorogenic acid contained in coffee beans can prevent fat accumulation and reduce the chance of obesity. The amount of chlorogenic acid in coffee varies depending on the degree of roasting of the coffee beans. Generally, lightly roasted coffee contains more chlorogenic acid than heavily roasted coffee. If you want to lose weight by drinking coffee, you can choose coffee beans with a lower degree of roasting.

Beautiful and rich aroma and taste.

If the coffee beans are of low quality or are mixed with too many spoiled, moldy or defective coffee beans, they often need to be roasted to a "medium to heavy degree or above" to suppress their bad odors and tastes such as sourness, earthy smell and moldy smell. Therefore, drinking light to medium roasted coffee can better taste the original flavor of the coffee and the good ingredients in the coffee than drinking heavy roasted coffee.
