JAKARTA - Health benefits between hot coffee and cold coffee are often debated. This is because there has actually not been much research regarding the better coffee temperature for body health.
However, there are several things that can be considered regarding the differences in the benefits of hot coffee and cold coffee. Here are some differences, quoted from Huffpost, on Wednesday, June 18, 2025.
1. Hot coffee contains high antioxidants
Hot coffee is said to contain important nutrients such as antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Heat coffee antioxidant levels are also said to be higher than cold brewing coffee.
The antioxidants contained in this coffee contain chlorogenic acid, which makes it an alternative to energy and vigilance. However, the addition of milk, sugar, or cream can affect its taste and nutritional value.
2. Hot coffee contains more caffeine and smells reduce stress
Research at the American Chemical Society in 2020 revealed that coffee made by the hot brewing method has slightly higher caffeine levels than cold ones. However, the difference in the amount of caffeine is not too large.
Another advantage of hot coffee is its broad aroma. The aroma of coffee mana has the potential to help relax the body and reduce stress.
"Because hot coffee emits more steam, there is a possibility that this effect will increase with hot coffee compared to cold coffee," said a cardiologist, Majid Basit.
3. Cold coffee is better for hydration
Cold coffee, especially those served with ice, can provide a better hydration effect than hot coffee. The addition of ice or water-based ingredients to coffee can help increase fluid intake that can be useful for body hydration.
While hot coffee can make the body dehydrated a little bit. This is because the caffeine content has a diuretic effect.
4. Cold coffee is more comfortable in the stomach
In general, hot coffee and cold coffee contain the same acidity level, which ranges from pH 5-6. However, some studies suggest that cold brewed coffee will have a lower acidity level, which is more comfortable in the stomach.
