that often we consume. Coffee lest the recommended dose has been reached, but we still consume other products that contain caffeine so feel the bad effects of coffee. Some other products that need to be considered caffeine content such as: soft drinks, candy coffee, tea, chocolate, headache medicine. 
Method of processing (roasting and brewing) also affect the content of caffeine in coffee. For example, one study showed that a cup of coffee at Starbucks contains an average of 259 mg of caffeine compared to coffee with the type and size of the same cup at Dunkin Donuts which only contains 149 mg of caffeine. 
From other studies, decaf coffee (coffee without caffeine) good for those who are obese because it can increase HDL (good cholesterol) of about 50%. Whereas in those who are not obese can actually lower HDL cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease. 
5. Coffee Mix

the correct way to enjoy coffee is if you know how coffee is beneficial for your body. The wrong way is if coffee actually make you sick. For example, if you have to finish the job overnight, and then drink a lot of coffee to keep you awake. You need to remember that coffee contain toxins called caffeine. As a drug, caffeine can be healthy at the same time hurt us. Too much caffeine can cause health problems, such as high blood pressure, irritability, and sleep disturbances. 



Other errors are letting your child drink coffee instead of other nutritious beverages that children need. The caffeine in coffee can be dangerous for children who are still growing. Caffeine can steal calcium from the bones, and can make a child's bones become brittle. 

This is the recommended way of drinking coffee: 

Drinking more frequently in small doses. Simply take a quarter cup of coffee every hour. If you drink it to prevent drowsiness, this method is more effective than if you drank a large mug. 

Get rid of your cigarette. Drinking coffee while smoking actually reduces the durability of caffeine. 

Sip your coffee, and then go to sleep. This is the best way to recover energy. Drink coffee, and lie 10 to 20 minutes. During that coffee also takes time to show efficacy. After all, sleep is the only way to be fit. Thus, you will wake up in a state of truly fresh. 

Fill in your stomach first. Lie when someone says that drinking coffee can get rid of hunger. That just makes your stomach bloated. Instead, you should eat before drinking coffee. 

You do not need to drink coffee when: 

1. you feel anxious after drinking coffee. 
2. you have trouble sleeping (insomnia). 
3 You have a problem with the stomach, or disturbances in digestion. 
4. you want to rush smoking after drinking coffee. 
5. you are taking cold medicine or headache that also mengadung caffeine. This would exceed the quota of caffeine is safe.

Gayo coffee coffee plantations plucked from the central highlands, Aceh province, at an altitude of 1250-1550 m above sea level. Society Gayo coffee classic call by the term "Que". 



Gayo coffee is superior in aroma and flavor. Arabica coffee species is grown organically without the use of fertilizers and seeds are known as green because it is environmentally friendly. Coffee is empowered by the people of Aceh in three areas namely: Central Aceh, Bener Meriah and Gayo Lues, with a total plantation area of ​​94,500 hectares. 

Gayo coffee bean shape is flat with the center line located in the middle. The weakness of coffee is susceptible to frost (emun), pests and diseases, so the beans (coffee beans) is more difficult to be protected until the time of harvest. In addition, the seeds were mature at different times, so it must be selected at any given time. Gayo coffee itself contains caffeine caffeine lower the number by 0.8 to 1.4 percent. 

ways of making 

Gayo coffee development process begins with the first flowers are white berwarwa and then produce "cherry" red ripe containing two seeds (logs). Red fruit with two seeds are then plucked. This process is commonly called "quote Kupi". Once the fruit is picked and then processed into grain milling process. The grain must be fermented overnight. Then the grain is washed thoroughly and dried in the sun to dry in the sun above. 

After the grain was peeled using grains exfoliants engine. Once peeled, the seeds are called "oros" is sun dried. The duration of drying depends on its water content. After that sorted again in the category of light, medium light, medium, medium-dark, dark, or very dark. Then they are sorted and labeled in accordance with the quality or grade. 

When Gayo coffee to enjoy this the next process is baked or "jelly" in the Gayo language. Furthermore, roasted coffee beans is mashed into a flour or powder and ready for use as a beverage. Bar of the coffee plant will only produce about one to three pounds of seed (oros) Gayo coffee in a year so the plants should be treated well.

Coffee from the Gayo highlands, became the most expensive coffee Arabica kind in the world in 2011, defeating the world's largest producer, Brazil. It was revealed in the coffee world exhibition held organization Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) in Portland, Oregon Convention Center, United States. 

The grand event was followed by coffee and ikutannya manufacturers from around the world, especially from tropical regions, such as Latin America, Africa and the Asian continent. The cooperative management of the coffee fields of Central Aceh and Bener Meriah coffee enliven the exhibition for four days, 19 to 22 April 2012. 

Chairman of the Pacific Asia Fair Trade Forum, Mustawalad the following exhibitions in Oregon to the Porch coffee on Tuesday (8/5) at Takengon said prices Gayo coffee is the most expensive in the United States, so the position of the market fell from four in 2010 to five in 2011. 

"Although ranking Gayo coffee down in the United States market, but the number sold increased by 11 percent," he explained. He mentions, Brazilian or Colombian coffee from Latin America almost half the price of Gayo coffee. Latin American coffee priced at 3.5 to 4 dollars / kg, or about Rp 32,000 to Rp 37,000 / kg. 

Gayo Arabica coffee while 7.2 to 8 dollars / kg, or about Rp 67,000 to Rp 74,000 / kg. He added, Gayo coffee has a distinctive taste compared to other countries, so the price is more expensive. "Gayo coffee is a special coffee (specialty) with cupping test scores in the top 80," he explained. 

In addition, a number of Gayo coffee producers also got a new contract from American buyers obtained during a show in Oregon. "Cooperative from Central Aceh and Bener Meriah who participated in the exhibition, each carrying five samples of Fair Trade and Organic certified," said Mustawalad. 



SCAA exhibition that aims to maintain relationships with buyers in the United States, as the largest Gayo coffee lovers in addition to getting a new buyer as well as the development of the coffee world, such as the processing engine to gasket. "In the exhibition, there are about 350 booths with eksebitor number (of participants) exhibits many as 775 participants from various coffee-producing countries," added Mustawalad. (C35)

Gayo coffee history when the Dutch colonial


Takengon which is one of the world's best coffee producer and exporter of Indonesia's largest coffee abroad proved to have its own history. Gayo Land is a pretty good place for a coffee plantation with an altitude of 1,000 to 1,300 meters above sea level. according to Dutch insyinyur that the best coffee is at an altitude of 1200 meters above sea level. Four places in Tanah Gayo Dutch plantations, among others Takengon district, and the central highlands.


Early Dutch colonists open the coffee plantations


As expressed by Mr. Tomo and Mr. Jafar as the former plantation worker, plantation workers brought the Dutch from Java in 1931 for diperkebunan employed, for the workers of the plantation area consists of hundreds of workers and having each function, there placed as foreman or supervisor or a supervisor plantation workers. 
As with Javanese culture, the beginning of each payday Dutch holding entertainment events like Ketoprak, puppets etc. as popular entertainment. Besides the earlier settlers of the plantation region existing indigenous tribe, namely (Gayo). When the Dutch introduced coffee plants to new Gayo Gayo society was at that time aware of any marketed Coffee Gayo however difficult because the trade is still dominated by the Dutch.


Dutch introduced coffee plants in Gayo


Gayo Highlands community at that time was the time before the arrival of the Dutch farming community just Gayo bersawah and other farming. Dutch start investments introduce Plant Coffee, Tea, avocado, pine and Eggplant Agur. When the avocado is a special luxury food Dutch people, but dogs that have proven popular avocado avocado seed grows everywhere so it can not be controlled by the Dutch again. Eggplant Agur which some people call a typical food Gayo (Gayo Cecah). Dutch do not just coffee plants iventasinya wrote but there are also plants that are planted by the Dutch pine and nursery done in Lampahan, Bener Meriah districts are then planted diseputaran Lake Laut Tawar and partly Large districts in the region Linge, Linge, a plateau 1400 meters above sea level, so it is not suitable for coffee but in Linge Pinus Pine sap turns produces the best in the world.

In Aceh there are two types of coffee that is cultivated Arabica coffee and Robusta coffee. Two types of Aceh Gayo coffee is very famous Gayo coffee (Arabica) and Ulee Kareeng coffee (Robusta). For Arabica coffee types are generally cultivated in the highlands region "Gayo Land", Southeast Aceh and Gayo Lues, whereas in Pidie district (especially Tangse region and Geumpang) and more dominant West Aceh developed by the people here in the form of Robusta coffee. 

Arabica coffee is rather large and dark green, oval leaves, trees reaching seven meters high. But in coffee plantations, tree height is kept to a range of 2-3 meters. The goal is that easy when harvested. Arabica coffee trees begin producing fruit within its first three years. Normally branches grow from the stem with a length of about 15 cm. Younger leaves above color because sunlight while darker underneath. Each bar accommodates 10-15 small flowers that would be the coffee fruit. From this process emerged later called the coffee cherry fruit, oval-shaped, two pieces side by side. 
Coffee Gayo is one commodity that comes from the Gayo Highlands. Coffee plantations have been developed since 1908 it thrives in the central highlands and Central Aceh. Both areas are located at an altitude of 1200 m from the sea level have the largest coffee plantation in Indonesia, with an area of ​​about 81,000 ha. Each 42,000 ha located in the central highlands and the remaining 39,000 ha in Central Aceh district. 
Gayo is a tribal name that inhabit this area. The majority of people living as Gayo Coffee Growers. Arabica coffee varieties dominate the type developed by Gayo coffee farmers. Arabica coffee production resulting from the Gayo Land is the largest in Asia 

Gayo coffee is one typical of the archipelago from Aceh coffee is pretty much favored by various groups in the world. Gayo coffee aroma and flavor that is very distinctive. Most existing coffee, bitter taste still left in our tongue, but not so in the Gayo coffee. Hardly felt the bitter taste of the coffee. Gayo coffee flavor found in the original fragrant aroma and savory taste almost bitter. Even some who argue that the taste of the coffee exceeds taste Gayo Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica. Aceh Gayo Gayo coffee from plantations in the central highlands people, Central Aceh. In the area of coffee grown in an organic way without chemicals so coffee is also known as green coffee (environmentally friendly). Gayo coffee is touted as the best organic coffee in the world.

Coffee became famous in Indonesia in 1696 when Mayor semanjak Asterdam, Nicholas Witsen ordered the commander of the Dutch forces in the Malabar Coast, Adrian Van Ommen, to bring the beans to Batavia. Arabica coffee is first grown and developed at a place in the east Djatinegara, which uses ground partikelir Kedaung now better known as Pondok Coffee. Some time later arabica coffee spread to various areas in West Java such as Bogor, Sukabumi, Banten and Priangan, until then spread to other areas, such as Sumatera, Sulawesi, Bali and Timor.
Shortly after that, coffee became a very reliable trading commodity VOC. Exports of coffee first performed in 1711 by the VOC, and during the 10-year exports increased to 60 tons / year. Therefore, the Dutch East Indies became the first plantation outside of Arabia and Ethiopia which makes VOC monopolize the coffee trade from 1725 to 1780.
To support the production of coffee, VOCs make lopsided agreements with the local authorities where the native coffee plant are required to be submitted to the VOC. This agreement is called Koffiestelsel (coffee system). Thanks to this system is also of high quality coffee beans from Java land could overwhelm Europe. Java coffee was so terkenak while in Europe so that Europeans call it instead a cup of coffee, but a cup of java. Until the mid-19th century, Javanese coffee is the best in the world.

Coffee trading system continue even then dissolved VOC and Dutch East Indies was ruled by the Dutch command. When Hermann Willem Daendels (1762-1818) reign, he built a road from the tip to the eastern tip of Java bawat the Anyer-Panarukan. The goal is to facilitate the transport of soldiers and correspondence Dutch in Java. The other reason, of course, to speed up the coffee beans from the eastern tip of Java reaches port in Batavia, and then shipped to the Netherlands for sale to Europe.

Suffering due koffie stelsel then continues with alias cultuurstelsel forced cultivation system. Through a system of forced cultivation created Johannes van den Bosch (1780-1844), the people are required for growing government-owned export commodities, including coffee at one fifth of the cultivated land, or work for 66 days at the government-owned plantations. As a result, there was a famine in the land of Java and Sumatra in the 1840s. However, thanks to the Java cultuurstelsel became the largest supplier of coffee beans in Europe. In between the years 1830-1834 in Java Arabica coffee production reached 26,600 tons, hose 30 years later coffee production had increased to 79 600 tonnes.

Java coffee production reached its zenith in the 19th century, which in 1880-1884 reached 94.4 thousand tons. At that time, coffee plays a much more important role than the sugar cane. If the value of coffee exports on average between the years 1865-1970 reached 25.965 million guilders, then in the same period the average export value of sugar cane just reached 8.416 million guilders. 

Fall of java coffee started when disease struck in 1878 coffee plantations across the archipelago Each affected coffee pest caused by Hemileia Vasatrix. The disease kills all plants that grow arabica in the lowlands. Arabica coffee is grown on the remaining land is just as high as 1,000 meters above sea level. 

The fading glories of Java coffee is then filled by Arabica coffee from Brazil and Colombia who continue to dominate until now. Even so, the rest of Arabica coffee plants are still found in pockets in Indonesian coffee producers, among others, Ijen plateau (East Java), high soil Toraja (South Sulawesi), as well as the upper slopes of the Bukit Barisan mountains (Sunatera), as Mandailaing, Lintong and Sidikalang (Sumatra), as well as the central highlands (Aceh). 

To address these vicious pests, the Dutch government then Liberika coffee plant more pest resistant. Unfortunately, this variety is not so long and also popular pests. So Robusta coffee was introduced in Indonesia in the early 1900s to replace Liberika and arabica coffee were destroyed because of pests. Robusta coffee is more resistant to pests is considered as an appropriate alternative to coffee plantations, especially in low-lying areas. Currently, coffee production in Indonesia ranks fourth largest in the world.

This section needs more medical references for verification or relies too heavily on primary sources

Method of action


In a healthy liver, caffeine is mostly broken down by the hepatic microsomal enzymatic system. The excreted metabolites are mostlyparaxanthinestheobromine and theophylline—and a small amount of unchanged caffeine. Therefore, the metabolism of caffeine depends on the state of this enzymatic system of the liver. The primary psychoactive chemical in coffee is caffeine, an adenosine antagonist that is known for its stimulant effects. Coffee also contains the monoamine oxidase inhibitors β-carboline and harmane, which may contribute to its psychoactivity.

General health


Extensive scientific research has been conducted to examine the relationship between coffee consumption and an array of medical conditions. The general consensus in the medical community is that moderate regular coffee drinking in healthy individuals is either essentially benign or mildly beneficial. In 2012, the National Institutes of Health–AARP Diet and Health Study analysed the relationship between coffee drinking and mortality. They found that the amount of coffee consumed correlated negatively with risk of death, and that those who drank any coffee lived longer than those who did not. However the authors noted, "whether this was a causal or associational finding cannot be determined from our data." A similar study with similar results was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2012. Researchers involved in an ongoing 22-year study by the Harvard School of Public Health stated that "Coffee may have potential health benefits, but more research needs to be done."
Findings have also been contradictory as to whether coffee has any specific health benefits, and results are similarly conflicting regarding the potentially harmful effects of coffee consumption. Furthermore, results and generalizations are complicated by differences in age, gender, health status, and serving size.

Health benefits

According to Cancer Research UK, the results of a large-scale study published in 2012 provided insight into the effect of coffee drinking on cancer, highlighting that there was indeed no association between the two. Study results showed that drinking coffee "had no effect on the risk of dying from cancer."
Other studies suggest coffee consumption reduces the risk of Alzheimer's diseasedementiaParkinson's diseaseheart diseasediabetes mellitus type 2non-alcoholic fatty liver diseasecirrhosisgout and cancer of liverskinprostatebowelbraingulletcolonendometriumbreastmouth andthroat.
The fact that decaffeinated coffee also exhibits preventative effects against diseases such as prostate cancer and type 2 diabetes suggests that coffee's health benefits are not solely a product of its caffeine content. Specifically, the antidiabetic effect of caffeine has been attributed to caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid. The presence of antioxidants in coffee have been shown to prevent free radicals from causing cell damage, which could lead to cancer. Antioxidant levels vary depending on how the beans are roasted as well as for how long. Evidence suggests that roasted coffee has a stronger antioxidant effect than green coffee.
Coffee is no longer thought to be a risk factor for coronary heart disease. A 2012 meta-analysis concluded that people who drank moderate amounts of coffee had a lower rate of heart failure, with the biggest effect found for those who drank more than four cups a day. Moreover, habitual coffee consumption is associated with improved vascular function. In a ten year study among 50,739 US women (mean age, 63 years) free of depressive symptoms at baseline (in 1996), coffee consumption was negatively correlated with risk of developing clinical depression. A review published in 2004 indicated a negative correlation between suicide rates and coffee consumption. It was suggested that the action of caffeine in blocking the inhibitory effects of adenosine on dopamine nerves in the brain reduced feelings of depression. Coffee consumption is also associated with improved endothelial function. Coffee extracts have been shown to inhibit 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1, an enzyme which converts cortisone to cortisol and is a current pharmaceutical target for the treatment of diabetes type 2 and metabolic syndrome.

Health risks


Excessive amounts of coffee can cause very unpleasant and even life-threatening adverse effects. Coffee's adverse effects are more common when taken in excess. Many of coffee's health risks are due to its caffeine content and can therefore be avoided by drinking decaffeinated coffee.
Oily components called diterpenes are present in unfiltered coffee and coffee brewed using metal filters, but not in coffee brewed using paper filters; diterpenes may increase the risk of coronary heart disease.[4]

Coffee consumption can lead to iron deficiency anemia by interfering with iron absorption, especially in mothers and infants. Coffee's interference with iron absorption is due to the polyphenols it contains. However, excess iron is carcinogenic to the liver. Therefore, coffee consumption's negative correlation with the development of liver cancer is also attributed to polyphenols. Elderly individuals with a depleted enzymatic system do not tolerate coffee with caffeine well. Moderate amounts of coffee (50–100 mg of caffeine or 5–10 g of coffee powder a day) are well tolerated by most elderly people.

Although some chemicals in coffee are carcinogens in rodents at very high doses, research suggests that they are not dangerous at the levels consumed by humans. Instant coffee has a much greater amount of acrylamide than brewed coffee. Research suggests that drinking caffeinated coffee can cause a temporary stiffening of arterial walls. Coffee may aggravate pre-existing conditions such as migrainesarrhythmias, and cause sleep disturbances. It was once thought that coffee aggravatesgastroesophageal reflux disease but recent research suggests no link.
Coffee consumption has been found to transiently increase the risk of ischemic stroke onset, particularly among infrequent drinkers.
Caffeine can cause anxiety, especially in high doses and in those with pre-existing anxiety disorders.
Some research suggests that a minority of moderate regular caffeine consumers experience some amount of clinical depression, anxiety, low vigor, or fatigue when discontinuing their caffeine use. However, the methodology of the these studies has been criticized. Withdrawal effects are more common and better documented in heavy caffeine users.
About 15% of the U.S. general population reports having stopped drinking coffee altogether, citing concerns about their health and the unpleasant side effects of caffeine.
A 2013 study by Liu et al. published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings established a correlation between coffee consumption >28 cups per week (>4 cups per day) and an increase in all-cause mortality in the total population of men and in men and women younger than 55 years. This correlation was not statistically significant for people aged 55 years and older. The authors noted that certain limitations exist in the study, such as a lack of data on different coffee preparations that can vary the overall composition of coffee's constituent compounds (e.g., cafestolkahweol), which could impact CVD risk factors; a lack of data on marital status and total energy consumption; and possible residual confounding from health-risk factors such as smoking. One of the study's co-authors stated, "We're not saying that coffee is the cause of death; we just noticed coffee is associated with increased risk of death," which addresses the distinction between correlation and causation.

Caffeine and headaches

Caffeine alleviates headaches acutely and is used medically for this purpose, generally in combination with a painkiller such as ibuprofen. However, chronic caffeine use and withdrawal can cause headaches. Research has consistently linked caffeine withdrawal to headaches, even in those who drink coffee in moderation. Additionally, studies have suggested that those that drink four or more cups of coffee a day experience headaches more often than controls, even without discontinuing their coffee consumption.

Withdrawal effects

Caffeine withdrawal causes consistent withdrawal effects.

Caffeine content

The caffeine content of a cup of coffee varies depending mainly on the brewing method, and also on the variety of seed.[172]
According to an article in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, coffee has the following caffeine content, depending on how it is prepared:
Serving sizeCaffeine content
Brewed7 oz, 207 ml80–135 mg
Drip7 oz, 207 ml115–175 mg
Espresso1.5–2 oz, 45–60 ml100 mg
While the percent of caffeine content in coffee seeds themselves diminishes with increased roast level, the opposite is true for coffee brewed from different grinds and brewing methods using the same proportion of coffee to water volume. The coffee sack (similar to the French press and other steeping methods) extracts more caffeine from dark roasted seeds; the percolator and espresso methods extract more caffeine from light roasted seeds.
