Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden found that brewing methods have a major impact on the presence of two compounds in coffee: cafestol and kahweol.

These naturally occurring substances are found in coffee oils and have been shown to raise cholesterol, the kind associated with artery buildup and heart disease.

Other methods like French press, espresso, moka pot, and many workplace machines with metal filters allow these compounds to pass right through.
