CBD in your coffee: discover the benefits, effects and points of attention
☕ CBD & Coffee: The Ultimate Morning Routine or a Bitter Mix?
Coffee is our morning ritual. CBD is on the rise. But what happens when you combine them? In this blog, we delve into the world of CBD coffee: the benefits, considerations and how you can incorporate this new duo into your daily routine.
🌿 What is CBD and what does it do in your body?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a substance from the hemp plant that does not make you high , but does have an effect on your body. It works on your endocannabinoid system , which is involved in:
your mood,
sleep,
pain experience,
and your immune system.
Using CBD daily can:
reduce stress and tension,
promote deeper sleep,
help with pain or inflammation,
and help you relax without becoming drowsy.
Many people already take CBD oil in the morning, so why not combine it with your first cup of coffee?
☕ Why put CBD in your coffee?
A cup of coffee gives you energy. CBD provides peace and balance. Together they can bring out the best in each other:
Less shaking hands or worrying heads due to caffeine
More focus and alertness without the 'jittery crash'
A natural start to the day – without pills
CBD in coffee can be especially helpful for people who are sensitive to caffeine but still enjoy their cuppa.
⚠️ Points of attention with CBD coffee
CBD and coffee are a golden combination, but be aware of the following:
CBD is oil, coffee is water
CBD oil mixes poorly in black coffee . It floats. Not ideal for absorption or taste.
Hot coffee can partially break down CBD
Wait until your coffee has cooled slightly (below 70°C) before adding CBD.
Dosage is personal
Start low (e.g. 5mg CBD per cup) and build up if you want to enhance the effect. Too much can cause drowsiness.
👨🍳 How to add CBD to your coffee?
Want to get started with CBD coffee? Here’s how:
1. Use a grease carrier
Add your CBD to coffee with milk, oat milk or coconut milk . Fats help the absorption of CBD in your body.
2. Use water-soluble CBD
Some brands offer nano-CBD or liposomal CBD that do mix well in your coffee.
3. Make a latte
CBD + Milk + Coffee = The Perfect Mix Add CBD to frothed milk before adding to espresso.
💡 Tip: build it into your routine
Start your day with a steady dose of CBD in your first cup of coffee. Keep track of how you feel for a few days: calmer, clearer, more focused? Then you might have found your new morning habit.
Conclusion: Is CBD Coffee Worth Trying?
For many coffee lovers, CBD is a natural way to give their morning a little more balance. Especially if you are sensitive to caffeine or stress. Pay attention to the way you mix and the quality of your CBD product. Then this could become your favorite ritual.
