  • To begin, grind the beans until they have a thin, powder-like consistency.
  • Next, split the powder between two cups and then slowly pour in water heated to 194 degrees.

Health Benefits of Green Coffee

Coffee has been known to boost mood, help with cardiovascular health, and even help you lose weight. The antioxidants tend to be stronger in light and green roasts, meaning that many of these benefits are stronger in green coffee.
