But there's no studies, nothing I've ever seen that says you get less mold that way.

You just get less coffee nutrients.

If you do an Americano or a French press with a metal filter, then you get coffee oils.

And there's two camps around coffee oils.

One of them says they might raise cholesterol, therefore they're bad for you.

I don't worry about cholesterol unless it's oxidized because, well, that's what the science supports.

There are some other variables like APOB that matter that are not cholesterol, but coffee doesn't affect those.

So coffee oils in multiple studies reduce inflammation in the brain.

So they're plant essential oils.

I drink Americanos when I'm at home almost exclusively.

I would say to get the most benefits...

Look at French press or no paper filter methods or espresso.

But if you're worried about cholesterol, it might be up.

It might be down from that.

Just paper filters reduce the soluble fiber you get from coffee.

That's a prebiotic.

And they take away those oils that I think are good for you.

All of the above.

I'll tell you the protocol in a minute.

We still have to understand what mold does.
