[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Used to use a french press which is great, but I have a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol and using a coffee filter can reduce cholesteral by 15% so I switched to a drip coffee maker. I make 6 cups and just heat up tomorrow's portion in the microwave. Some people may think that's gross but whatever. Works for me.[/quote]

Is this a joke? Coffee doesn't contain cholesterol. [/quote]

Interesting you say this..I’m 30s, good weight, exercise, don’t eat much sugar, alcohol or animal fat yet have cholesterol in the 190s.  So not too high, but something to keep an eye on trend.  I also drink 3 cups of French press coffee daily[/quote]

Cholesterol is often genetic.[/quote]

NP. Yes, predisposition to high cholesterol can be genetic for sure. For what it's worth, I'm mid 40s, thin, active, eat mostly plant-based, no family history of high cholesterol, and always fortunate enough to have naturally low cholesterol (LDL &lt;70). I love coffee and went on a French press kick for a year or two, and I happened to have my cholesterol checked during that time. My LDL was almost 120, WAY higher than it's ever been in my entire life. I quit the French press in favor of filtered coffee but changed nothing else about my lifestyle. Next cholesterol check: LDL 67. Just one data point but interesting.[/quote]

Thanks! That is interesting! Do you use a paper or metal filter? Do Keurigs have a filter? [/quote]
