Tag: Eating espresso beans

Coffee beans were historically consumed for an energy boost. Eating roasted coffee beans, especially espresso beans, is still common today.

According to research, roasted coffee beans contain a more concentrated dose of caffeine and antioxidants than brewed coffee. This concentration means eating espresso beans has a distinctly different and often more intense effect on the body than consuming a traditional cup of joe.

One roasted coffee bean can contain 6 to 12 mg of caffeine, making them a highly concentrated source of the stimulant. While a crunchy treat, eating too many espresso beans can easily lead to unpleasant side effects and health risks.
