Many independent researchers around the world study coffee and health, publishing hundreds of scientific studies each year. Here we’ve gathered examples of peer-reviewed research that shows that drinking coffee is linked to many significant health benefits.

This research library highlights the most comprehensive studies on coffee and health, focusing on the topics that matter most to coffee drinkers and information-seekers like you. We know there’s a lot of research out there, and our goal is to make it quicker and easier for you to find information backed by multiple, high-quality studies.

We have prioritized literature reviews and meta-analyses that draw conclusions based on reviewing a large number of individual studies—these are considered to offer stronger evidence and conclusions. Studies included here have been reviewed by the NCA, in partnership with its medical and food safety advisors.
