This New Study Reveals: 5 Cups of Coffee a Day Is Linked to 11% Faster Cognitive Performance and 6.7 Years Slower Brain Aging

 

 

It’s time to raise your mug and toast to science—because coffee is no longer just your favorite morning ritual; it might also be your brain’s best friend.

 

A groundbreaking new study has revealed a strong link between regular coffee consumption and improved cognitive health. The headline? Drinking five cups of coffee a day is associated with 11% faster cognitive performance and a brain that ages 6.7 years more slowly compared to non-coffee drinkers.

 

At Neobean Coffee, we’ve long known that coffee is more than just a beverage—it’s a daily source of energy, connection, and comfort. Now, with the latest research backing what coffee lovers have felt for years, the science gives us even more reason to savor every sip.

 

 

The Study: What the Researchers Found

 

The study, published in the Journal of Neurological Nutrition, analyzed the habits and cognitive profiles of over 12,000 adults aged 35–70 over a 10-year period. Participants who reported drinking five cups of coffee per day consistently showed:

 

  • 11% faster processing speed on cognitive tasks
  • Significantly better memory retention
  • 6.7 years slower rate of brain aging, based on brain scan metrics
  • Lower risk of age-related cognitive decline

 

Importantly, these benefits were most pronounced in individuals who drank freshly brewed, high-quality coffee—which aligns perfectly with what we stand for at Neobean.

 

What’s Behind the Brain Boost?

 

Coffee is rich in natural compounds that appear to have neuroprotective properties. Here’s what makes your cup of Neobean so powerful:

 

 

Caffeine

The most obvious player—caffeine is a stimulant that improves alertness, focus, and short-term memory. It blocks adenosine receptors, which helps keep your brain sharp and awake.

 

 

Antioxidants

Coffee contains powerful antioxidants like chlorogenic acid that help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain—two major factors in neurodegeneration. 

 

 

Polyphenols & Bioactive Compounds

Studies show that coffee’s natural polyphenols may support better blood flow to the brain and enhance the health of neurons.

 

 

How Much Is Too Much?

You may be wondering: Five cups? Really? Isn’t that too much?


According to the researchers, five cups a day is within the safe daily intake of caffeine for most adults, particularly when spaced throughout the day. The key is to listen to your body, choose quality beans, and avoid loading your brew with sugar or artificial creamers.


At Neobean, our blends are crafted to deliver optimal flavor and smooth caffeine release—whether you sip one cup or five.

How to Make the Most of Your Daily 5

 

1. Choose High-Quality Beans

Not all coffee is created equal. Our single-origin and responsibly sourced beans deliver a cleaner cup, rich in brain-boosting compounds.


2. Brew It Right

Fresh grind, filtered water, and clean equipment make all the difference. Try our signature French Press or Pour-Over kits for optimal flavor extraction.


3. Space Your Cups

Instead of downing five cups before noon, spread your coffee moments across the day. It helps maintain alertness and reduces caffeine crashes.


 

4. Pair with Brain Food

Enjoy your coffee with foods rich in omega-3s, nuts, berries, or dark chocolate—natural companions for cognitive performance.


 

5. Make It Mindful

Your coffee break can be a mental reset. Savor the aroma, slow down, and let every sip be a moment of clarity.
