Please keep Drinking coffee because here in Uganda we grow coffee for a living 😅. It has helped many people to escape poverty
Don't worry,we will never stop drinking coffee,no matter how expensive it gets.
You should demand higher prices for your produce that big companies get for a low price and resell for a huge profit.
I wish you freedom from the big corporations that exploit you.
We want more coffee, not less! Glad it has lifted people out of poverty. ❤
I will never ever stop drinking coffee until I die. 🥰
That’s a great way to excuse my addiction.
Yes Philippines is one of biggest coffee drinkers in the world.. our day is not complete without a cup or more each day
3:01 is where it starts
Thank you!
Coffee helps your make your bathroom business Easy. Web says causes stomach muscle movement/contractions, and gets colon working.
@@jbranche8024 Coffee also prevents Colon Cancer, and many other serious illnesses!
Cheers!🇨🇦
You're Amazing!!!
Hero ❤
As a coffee addicted person I normally skip negative videos on coffee 🤣
LOL! :D
😅😅 for me I can just drink milk coffee for some time not so often. If I drink strong coffee, I will be nervous 😬😬
Hahha
😂😂😂😅😅
Only after watching enough, and typing out a comment
I quit coffee after drinking it for 10 years daily and was addicted for sure. Everything is more in balance now, mood stabilised, and no more anxiety. The anxiety was the worst part for me
What do you drink now? I feel sometimes it's a habit to be sipping on something during the day and just drink water doesn't fill that gap.
@@darthenx2585 switch to decaf? My second cup is a weak instant cappuccino
@@darthenx2585coffee isn’t really hydrating though. Nowhere near as hydrating as tea anyway, When it’s got milk and other stuff added, it’s not refreshing like tea is refreshing as tea is mostly water but coffee is often thicker unless it’s just a black coffee
I quit my daily coffee for a few weeks and didn’t feel any different
same here! i only drink water now..coffee is just a stimulant meant to keep the masses going.
Watching this video while drinking coffee from Ethiopia.
You have phones in Uganda? Arent you living in the woods?
😎
@kimjong-un1848 he said ethiopia. And we're using smoke signals, you prat😊
The best coffee ☕️
He who controls the coffee bean, controls the universe.
my caffeine, my arabica, my bean
The coffee must flow
Amen!
Well, ANY drug, mind.
LOL
Then just sleep. Who needs coffee
BBC got some serious editors in their team. I am impressed by the motion graphics.
Yeah, it's almost like they were drinking coffee at the edit bay.
Pity their directors are fascists
I want their editor as well
You must have NEVER watched their documentaries programs then, such as the science or engineering ones, or the wild nature ones.. 😁 They have the best graphics and narratives, usually.
I didn’t get into coffee until I was 24… now I can’t go without it, it gives me life in the morning.
You’re addicted to it
Fentanyl is even more addictive.😊
@@samved8099 It’s more that I’m getting older… I used to wake up feeling fresh and ready for anything. Now I wake up feeling like a corpse.
@@A1Kirazz that’s the caffeine causing that. If you go caffeine free for several days and get plenty of sleep + avoid screen time before going to bed you’ll wake up feeling fresher
@@samved8099 No its not, cause I started drinking coffee when I got older / started waking up tired. I live a very healthy lifestyle, you're probably overweight while I'm not..
First half of video: Explain everything that has happened in human history
Second half of video: Actual reason we watched the video
I also commented about this, but even worse they only talk about Caffeine, barely mentioning the other substances only at the very end....
Oh well
This explains ur level of being patient
"Hey, can we have a coffee break?"
"NO"
"Why?"
"THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAY-ZOR"
"oh, okay."
She forgot the most important thing ... Coffee pushes out 💩 💩 out the back door .

I used to love coffee for years and I needed it every morning as a my drug...but after several years I released how bad it was for my gut, my nervous system, my sleep and my brain. I stop it for 3 months, then return to it again, then stop it for good after 2 months. Sometimes i still miss that little boost in the morning....But I really don't miss how bad I can feel for the next 6 hours after. So happy to be coffee free now at 36 years old
Yeah, I don't need it anymore to start my day.
Same here. Had to stop drinking it for gut related issues and now I feel much better overall.
U don’t know what u are you are missing
Everything in moderation
real men use RED BULL
I feel more lively without coffee. My heart is gentle and I am not anxious and jittery And no headaches any more...too
I used to love coffee and feel elated after drinking. BUT as the "high" wore off I'd get headaches, feel lazy and start craving it. Ultimately took a decision to quit. Had to put up with headaches for about 2 weeks, now more than a year and all good coffee free
My heart doesn't like coffee, my body too. Gives me heart beats
You broke free of the witches brew.....
@@lubomirad7902 What do you mean "gives you heartbeats"?
Your heart has been constantly beating your whole life.
So true.... coffee is a drug that has side effects.
I gave up coffee recently. I started drinking coffee daily at the age of sixteen, and it became an addiction. It all started when I wanted to stay awake and study for an exam. I totally regret drinking coffee for eighteen years. My health is much better after I quit coffee. I used to frequently get heartburn and mouth ulcers when I was drinking coffee. I also suffered from anemia because coffee and tea reduce the absorption of iron in your intestine.
Coffee and tea, or the caffeine in the coffee and tea?
Are you a GUINNESS drinker? Guinness can actually help people with iron deficiency!
So true... It is an addictive drug
I am slightly addicted to coffee (like its taste, but don't drink it everyday).
However, when I drink it during exams, it doesn't make me stay awake at all....I feel naturally sleepy....
@trentpettit6336 Is that some kind of alcoholic drink? I don't like the smell of alcohol. It smells like the organic solvents in the chemistry lab.
As a caffeine person this was so cool to know
After Parents, Siblings and God...Coffee is the most valuable subject in my life.
And only three of those things are real.
Great point.
Not money which can buy you coffee for yourself and your parents and your siblings and make you thankful to God for the gift of the coffee bean to humanity?
@@JosephMwemamoney itself has no value it's about what money can do
In my case coffee comes before god.
Watching this while drinking my coffee ("tinto" as we call it) here in Colombia, one of the most important coffee producers in the world ❤☕
I just had some Columbian coffee here in Norway :-) Thanks for sharing.
Ty for the coffee, Colombia.
you tinto
Plus cocaine…😂😂😂
Me too
haha
From Manizales to the world!
Coffee is great, but you can’t beat a nice cup of tea.
Tea is great, but you can't beat a nice up of .... tea
Tea with sugar is poison.
Yaaaaaassssss
💯
Tea is the bestttt.
Fresh brewed black coffee no sugar in the morning ❤❤❤
Yess, can't beat it. A splash of milk is fine but no sugar or those nasty creamers and syrups. Then it really becomes unhealthy
Perfect ❤
I love coffee... healthy full of antioxidants and mainly caffeine... I'll drink coffee until God calls me to his presence
I am enjoying a delicious, energizing cup at this very moment! I absolutely agree with you!
Cheers!🇨🇦
Isn't god present everywhere, which makes you already in his presence?
Hail Satan.
Will there be coffee up there?
@@JosephMwema I sure hope so!😉
It lands in the acidic category, which isn't good for your body.
I used to love coffee and feel elated after drinking. BUT as the "high" wore off I'd get headaches, feel lazy and start craving it. Ultimately took a decision to quit. Had to put up with headaches for about 2 weeks, now more than a year and all good coffee free
Something must be wrong there, as you shouldn't get those issues. Caffeine is a diuretic so you should be drinking water to keep you hydrated and avoid headaches.
If you go to Italy, you'll be served water alongside your espresso.
Perfect video to watch while I have my first cup of coffee in de morning.
I like coffee. It gives me an almost immediate boost of energy and alertness but it also causes me to get anxious, depressed and lose sleep. I even notice i get a stutter when i drink coffee.
Try combining half decade and half regular strength when brewing, this should help any symptoms/side effects. You can also adjust varying amounts of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, according to your body’s reaction.
Try not to drink coffee after 3:00PM. I can drink it much later without experiencing side effects…including insomnia. Yet, my brother cannot tolerate any amount of coffee, so I looked into Green and Black Tea, as well as, other caffeinated options on his behalf. Strangely, I discovered my brother is able to drink Green and Black Tea…yet…I cannot touch Green Tea without experiencing severe side effects…ranging from migraine headaches, nausea/vomiting, and severe joint pain - to name a few.
Scientific research has demonstrated coffee to be effective in preventing multiple diseases…Alzheimer’s, Chronic Constipation, and Colon Cancer, among many others.
Cheers!🇨🇦☺🇨🇦
Why in the world would you like something that makes you anxious, depressed and lose sleep??
@@shakeyj4523 Clearly you missed the first part of my post.
@@Mist3man4423 No. I just paid attention to the most important part.
@@shakeyj4523 because its an addictive stimulant that tastes good, its a drug at the end of the day
0:50 Fun to think how persistent ancient people might’ve been in experimenting with different ways to somehow consume this hard bean until they discovered the best way was to roast them and then powder and run scalding hot water through them to extract their nutrients.
Those Sufis in Yemen needed something to feel all that night time worshiping so they were hard at work lol
What nutrients?
@@gerryhouska2859 Antioxidants and minerals are contained in coffee. Depending upon the brewing method…magnesium, manganese, chromium, cobalt, potassium, B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin) are valuable sources contained in coffee.
There are also benefits to the body, along with preventing serious illnesses…Alzeihmer’s disease and Colon Cancer to name just two.
Cheers!🇨🇦
My life is 10x better after I quit coffee
Eh, mine is 10x better with it.
Nope
tea is more refreshing
you sure it's not 11x
One of the most important aspects about coffee that should’ve been mentioned in the video is the fact that coffee is one of the most heavily sprayed crops by insecticides, so it is highly recommended that you seek out organic coffee.
Can you recommend any retailers of organic coffee?, I don't buy from the internet. I've looked this year for organic in the town I live but nowhere stocks any. Some advice would be good please.
@@user-og1rw5cj1n I’m in Canada and I buy a local organic coffee brand readily available at the supermarkets here called Kicking Horse. It’s also available on Amazon and in some parts of the US.
I have seen many people suffering from drinking coffee for a long time. I will not be one of them.
I simply can’t live without drinking coffee! ☕️
I've never had coffee until a few years ago, when I started testing it. My overall takeaway is that it leaves me with less energy, and makes me more tired and less energetic about life and all the things I'm focusing on. I recommend you try cutting out this dangerous drug - try going a week without it. Being addicted to or reliant on any drug is terrible. You don't have to cut it out completely, but just try and see for yourself how you feel.
I had low BP and coffee helps
@@JaydenLawsonSome people (like me) need coffee. I have a very bad case of insomnia so I 100% need it or my eyes burn. I’d have no power otherwise
That's not a good thing, you should get help for that.
Now imagine someone saying that they simply can't live without cigarettes, alcohol or meth. Addicts say that. And yet somehow when it's applied to coffee, it's okay.
Beautifully compiled video. Hats off to the BBC Team.
last year I realized that years of periodic painful, red and purple toes, which eventually peeled like the frost nip peels, was caused by my caffeine intake from lots of coffee, lots of chocolate milk and excessive hot coco powder. it has an affect on some peoples liver. 12 months without coffee. I miss it, but I save a LOT of money... for some reason, moderation is more difficult with psychoactive substances ; ),
Have you ever tried combining varying amounts of decaffeinated and caffeinated coffee when brewing? I have to do so for some of my family members who are sensitive to caffeine.
At Christmas and throughout the Holiday Season, I make “Specialty Coffees” for family and friends alike. I even make fully decaf and various combinations of caffeinated/decaffeinated for those who are sensitive to caffeine. This way, everyone enjoys their specialty cup of Java, along with my homemade baking.
Cheers!🇨🇦
Quit coffee a few weeks ago and can already feel the benefits. Anxiety is way down, and heart palpitations are not so noticeable stable mood has improved stress levels are down.
Please continue enjoying your coffee, as here in Vietnam, coffee cultivation is their livelihood. ☕🌱
had hazelnut, honey coffee this morning ❤
Me watching this whilst drinking my coffee, at least I can remind others of all the benefits of my beloved espresso or black coffee now! 😅
In most of Ethiopian households, coffee is not a choice its just culture we love the smell and drink every morning, afternoon some even at late noon. Coffee is our life.
I would hate any doctor that prohibit me the consumption of coffee!
GERD it is. HAHAHAHAHA.
Get a different doctor. 😅
U need a better product. How does cocaine sound?
That’s cuz you’re an addict.
@@Ken_from_Mumbai Caffeine is fine! thank for your suggestion though. hahaha.
Good work on the animations, it makes the story much more interesting. Props to the editor
Thank you for sharing.
I am enjoying my morning coffee while watching this video.
When I was studying in India, I consumed a lot of coffee. The effects this had on me were a nightmare! I had very little sleep, developed migraines, had rapid heartbeats and was very irritable and always on some kind of an impulse. I discovered coffee might have been the cause when, on one particular week I did not take coffee and I felt different. Since then, I stopped taking coffee completely!
Early when you stopped, did you feel exhausted?
Well done!
Love my cup of coffee.
Made from my relatively high end coffee maker.
So lovely. Since I'm a coffee addict, at least I can tell others how good this habit is. Although being an addict doesn't mean a great thing at all. However, I love your videos.
My rule is just 1 cup of coffee a day around 10am or half an hour after I wake up if I have the gym.
watching this while Im drinking my cup of coffee
I'm making coffee right now!
addict
@@hanskazan7403 True.
Your animators spent alot of time on this, coffee probably helped but awesome job to them!
I wish they'd have pointed out how addictive coffee is
Without coffee, much would not have bean.
Coffee by itself is okay. Coffee with creamer just makes it so much better.
well... for some beans, yes.. for others, naa.. less so
Yes it may taste better with sugar and creamer but then you lose all the coffee benefits once you add that poison.
Creamers are basically a poison, try not to get accustomed to it.
If the coffee is of good quality and brewed well you should not need that, especially those artificial flavoured ones.
Milk will give that hint of sweetness and balance.
@@Boston82blhow? No real negatives with cream or milk
Yuck, black coffee is better. If your coffee is of good quality it will taste nice without creamer, sugar and all that unhealthy crap you put in it.
I cut my coffee with chicory, 1/2 and 1/2. Tastes great; more inulin; less caffeine and just as satisfying. No sugar added, just some whole milk. Perfect.
Good suggestion. Unfortunately, I have Crohn’s disease, so I cannot consume inulin, unless I want to be hospitalized. So, what I do is use a locally sourced, organic decaffeinated and caffeinated roast. I use varying amounts of both, depending upon who I’m sharing my coffee with.
On the occasion where I combine half decaffeinated with caffeinated, I can enjoy a bit more coffee in my day, which is always delightful!
Cheers!🇨🇦
As a coffee dealer here in Uganda this has motivated me to even seek more market.
Great animation and information, guys.👍🏽
Coffee also stimulates the production of the hormone gastrin, which helps push food through the gut. So if you find drinking coffee helps you to do a poo, then you are correct, it does!
History is amazing
If only people knew how much better you feel when you're free of caffeine addiction. It's just divine.
I quit drinking coffee 8 year ago. Totally worth it. So much energy when you stay coffee free long term, you wouldn’t imagine.
Very informative ❤
I drink half a cup a day in the morning especially after a full restful sleep, three or four days a week.
It also narrows and stiffens your veins/arteries, its a dehydrant so it dehydrates your body tissues. my friend was addicted to it, eventually his bladder/kidneys failed due to the avalanche of acid they were swimming in all the time, and he died in his late 40s.
Love all the different flavours and effects of this wonderful stimulating drink! Thank you coffee growers and makers!
I really enjoy my cup of coffee - actually at least 10 cups a day and at 55 years old I am very pleased to carry on and have no regret over supporting the industry.
Hell yeah brother that’s a lot! Sometimes i mostly have 3 or 2 lol 10 might be overkill for me though
Everyone is different. 10 cups of coffee would kill my stomach. I drink about 3 or 4 cups a day. If I drink more, my body gets used to it, and I don't have the stimulating effect. But if it works for you, go for it!
With sugar or no sugar? Con azucar o sin azucar?
Your stupid.
Coffee is a very addictive and damaging drugs. Please stop drinking it!
I ❤ my coffee and always will😊
Thankyou😊
Excellently explained thank u BBC, well done infographic vid👍
Great information.
Animation 👌
I never had a cup of coffee in my life and never will. Thank you!
You are the real smart person.
You are just an extreme, missed the yummy taste of coffee and its aroma, you can drink it once in way.
So why'd ya click....just asking
@@Docfly62 curiosity
Always choose the middle path. Going extremes is a bad idea in most cases.
Yes, I have around 5 mugs of coffee aday and don't have any coffee or tea after 4 pm as I have a better sleep pattern. When I go to bed around 10, I just drink water from 4 pm to 9 pm..
Really interesting visual style/approach, feels like a throwback to the 2000s
COFFEE WILL ALWAYS BE MY FUEL!
When I drink coffee or caffeine based soda I tend to relax ...I can go to sleep right away
May be your undiagnosed adhd ?
Amazing opening animation be the way!! BBC really does have a skillful video cliper.
Of all videos about coffee, this one is the most fun thanks to cool animation effects.
No mention that its highly addictive and its effects diminish over time requiring higher doses
As an active gym goer. I had no clue that my lack of recovery was due to my intense coffee intake. The level of insomnia that I had to deal with over the years were absolutely unbearable.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed some of the benefits of coffee as mentioned in this video. Mainly, "The suppression of appetite and massive increase in strength /energy levels.
However I would never prioritize a coffee over my sleep, as it could have been very detrimental to my overall health. So I had to quit!! Nonetheless, I still miss that massive aroma!
thank you for super amazing and informative video
Best video on coffee I've seen yet.
I love coffee with hazelnut cream. It's the best!
Ethiopia and Africa as a whole should be rich with all the natural resources, so it speaks volumes of how the western world have EXPLOITED us.
😂😂😂who has exploited who!
Exploitation is the cost of ignorance. instead we should do something to reform.
Africans are not motivated people, stop blaming others. It’s not a fluke that African countries that have more immigrants are the ones doing better such as Kenya, Uganda, South Africa
Coffee is a legal drug with a lot of marketing behind it.
The best drink in the world is water.
Enticing presentation made it even🔥
In my childhood BBC was a popular news channel with great journalists and news presenters.
I grew up as a US expat in Eurrope. My mother had the BBC on, via her Grundig short wave radio, all the time.
This video is politically correct middle school tier infotainment.
@@Frennemydistinction
In India, 30 years ago, when I was a primary school going kid, we used to watch BBC to learn English pronunciations. Inherently we got exposure to world affairs.
As you said it became an infotainment channel now.
Now Palki Sharma like journalists are forging ahead. Did BBC accept defeat and moved into infotainment space??
U guys are nuts! There’s another channel called BBC news and guess what they still report the news there!!
@@riadyl3311
Take good rest and good food like dry fruits and nuts. Good for your brain health. It can help improve your cognitive abilities.
BBC is the Fox of Europe. DW and Franch 24 way better. Best is when they bust the fake posts
Coffee ☕ is life 😊
Problem is sleeping can be affected by drinking it to much. Like lights
Yeah I learned that coffee/café/кава originated by farmers in Ethiopia I learned so a few years ago, and from that I assumed it spread throughout the entire world. the beverage Americano originated in world war 2 latte is the Italian word for milk.
May your coffee kick in before reality does.
We love talking about coffee don’t we?
If I hear the word coffee then I have to drink coffee..my families called me coffee queen ❤❤❤❤
Very good
Ethiopian & Somalis we’re drinking Coffee before ppl knew what it was. Somalis introduced it to the Arab world with ports since they are close to the Arab world
Just had to watch this was making and drinking my first cup of coffee for the day. Good morning all! :)
It's late evening here. Where are you from?
@@shoutforit pacific time zone, west coast usa
It’s 9pm and I’m drinking coffee right now while watching this 💀

Thanks to the initiators and teachers on how we can consume it better.
Nice docu!
Watching this programme, drinking my cup of tea.....
I always have 2 -3 cups a day as I know it’s good for you
As a coffe lover, I agree. Coffee runs through my veins
I love coffee, i look forward to it each morning.
going for a cofee now 🤣
Food industry pay money to promote coffee, because when you drink coffee, you need to put sugar, sugar have addicted effects, and it will cause you eat and drink more sweet food like Red bull, Coca cola…
If and when you develop an 'adult' taste, proper coffee needs no sweetener.
I always drink it black.
I quit coffee for 3 months this year. I definitely would feel some of the same annoyances as I normally do, but my impulsivity to act on those annoyances went WAY down.
Brilliant concept!
