Various scientific studies indicate that an intake of 300 to 400mg of caffeine from all sources per day for the normally healthy adult population does not cause any adverse effects on health.
Expressed in cups, it means 300-400mg of caffeine typically represents 4-5 cups of Nespresso Original coffees, or 2 to 5 cups of coffees for Vertuo coffees which may vary according to blend.
Official recommendations for pregnant and breastfeeding women, however, are that:
- they reduce their intake to 200-300 mg of caffeine per day,
- the equivalent of 3 to 4 cups of Nespresso Original coffees per day, 1 to 4 cups for Vertuo coffees.
Yes of course it depends on what you are looking for. Eg: Kazaar and Dharkan are coffees that will preserve their roasted character in contrast with lighter coffees like Volluto for example that evolve more under the influence of milk. Intense coffees have the unique ability to retain their roasty, smoky and pleasing bitterness, even with the addition of milk into recipes. Lighter coffees on the other hand will develop caramel/biscuit notes when drunk with milk. For sweet experiences, you can realize creative recipes you will find onultimate coffee creations.
Coffee cherry is the fruit on the coffee tree, whereas the coffee bean is inside the coffee cherry that will be roasted and ground that will end up in your cup.
