Unfortunately the most flavorful methods (espresso, french press, moka) also raise your cholesterol. So sadly, no, coffee is not universally "good for you". Filtered coffee methods are though, as the filter absorbs the oils.

I would be very cautious about any conclusions regarding its health benefits or detriments. Nutrition research is notoriously difficult to replicate or show causal links in humans engaging with the real world.

Texas A&M also has a coffee research center dedicated to promoting and protecting global coffee trade and consumption so… yeah.

That's why I moved to decaf. Love coffee, caffeine doesn't like me.
