1) Want to take a nap but worried you will wake up even groggier than before? Right before your head hits the pillow, down a cup of coffee. It takes time for the caffeine to travel through your stomach and kick in - just enough time for a 15-minute nap. Even if you only doze, you will wake up feeling fresh and ready for the rest of the day.

2) Coffee is zero calories! (Unless you add a hefty portion of cream and sugar, of course)

3) Coffee beans are actually seeds taken from inside the purple or red fruit that the plant provides. So technically, coffee is a fruit. Maintaining a "balanced diet" just got easier.

4) Feel like your coffee isn’t that effective? Don’t up the intake, just try changing the time of day that you have a cup. Cortisol is a hormone produced in your body that makes you feel awake and alert. So, the best time to drink coffee is when your cortisol levels drop, which is usually around 9:30-11:30am and 1:30-5:00pm. You’re welcome. 

5) There is more caffeine in coffee than in most energy drinks. An average 8-ounce cup of joe can have anywhere between 95-200mg while a 8.6-ounce can of Red Bull only has 76-80mg. 

6) Decaf coffee contains caffeine. While it is only a little compared to a regular cup, that tricky drink still has 2mg of the stuff. 

7) Drinking coffee can help your memory. A study has shown that coffee increases brain activity in the frontal lobe and anterior cingulum, both responsible for memory and attention span.

8) It boosts your metabolism. One cup of coffee increases your metabolic rate by 10%, so you're burning more by simply sipping.

9) It's actually good for you. Research has shown it has health benefits related to depression, cancer, diabetes, gout, Alzheimer’s, asthma and many more.  

10) Seattle has the most coffee shops per capita in the U.S.; so if it is a necessary staple in your life, you know where to live.
