Coffee has been known for years as a natural mental booster. The caffeine in coffee stimulates the nervous system and increases alertness, concentration, and reaction time.
This means that coffee can help to:
· To better maintain your attention
· To reduce fatigue
· To support cognitive performance
However, too much coffee can also have adverse effects, such as restlessness or irritability. That's why we're focusing on how coffee can improve your focus in a healthy way.
1. Caffeine as a natural stimulant
Caffeine has a significant effect on the central nervous system. This explains why you immediately feel more alert after a cup of coffee.
How does that work exactly?
Adenosine is a chemical in your brain that signals your body to slow down and become drowsy. Caffeine is very similar in structure to adenosine and temporarily takes its place on those receptors, but without activating the "sleep signal."
The result?
- Less drowsiness : adenosine cannot do its job, making you feel less tired
- More alertness: your brain receives fewer signals to slow down.
- Faster response time: Caffeine stimulates dopamine and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that increase your brain activity.
- Better concentration: especially at low to medium doses (50-200mg), equivalent to about 1-2 cups of coffee
Why is this especially relevant for Mokabon?
Fresh coffee has a stable and natural caffeine profile. At Mokabon, the beans are still roasted artisanally and in small batches, ensuring optimal quality and freshness. This provides a smooth, predictable, and pleasant energy boost. Ideal for those seeking clear focus without artificial additives.
Coffee and productivity
Besides alertness and concentration, coffee can provide a real productivity boost. Improved focus and faster reaction time allow you to complete tasks more efficiently. Studies show that coffee is particularly helpful with cognitive tasks that require attention and precision, such as reading, analyzing, or planning. A well-brewed cup of moka bean coffee can not only start your day but also support your workflow.
How much coffee per day is ideal?
Healthy adults can consume up to 400 mg of caffeine per day, which equates to about 4-5 cups of filter coffee. However, most people should stick to 2-3 cups, especially if you're sensitive to caffeine or pregnant.
Specific guidelines:
- Healthy adults: maximum 400mg caffeine per day
- Sensitive to caffeine: maximum 2-3 cups
- Children and teenagers: coffee is not recommended
