Millions of Americans consume coffee in some form on a daily basis. It's the beverage that makes the world go round. Whether it's for the rich taste or a jolt of caffeine, people drink coffee for all sorts of reasons. However, few people drink coffee for specifically health reasons. And while coffee has been known to confer many health benefits, it's often the direct and indirect effects of caffeine itself that only do the conferring. In a health-conscious era, new trends in coffee lean towards healthier lifestyles, and one specific coffee trend currently favors what's known as “performance coffee” or “healthy coffee”. In short, it's coffee that's engineered and tailored for energy, focus, and improved cognitive functioning. While several brands have their own spin on the trend, two main brands stand out from the crowd. What are they and what makes them so special?
Healthy Coffee from Coffee Blenders
If you haven't tried Coffee Blenders yet, you're in for a real treat. They focus on high quality, robust coffee blends with artisan and health-boosting twists. Incorporating the benefits of science, they highlight three specific “healthy coffee” options for those who want more than a simple kick from their cuppa. And with product names like “Lean Cup”, “Think Cup”, and “Relax Cup”, potential customers are fully aware of what they're buying without having to sift through mounds of description and rhetoric. Just pop these single serve coffee pods into your coffee machine, and just like that you have a delicious cup of healthy Joe.
Lean Cup is their diet blend promoted specifically to encourage weight loss. Their normal coffee blend is combined with a healthy dose of “Swetol”, a green coffee extract that has been clinically proven as a fat burner. Think Cup contains extract derived from the American Ginseng plant which has been proven to improve brain function and mental retention. And Stress Cup contains Theanine, an essential amino acid derived from green tea which has been proven to improve mental clarity and prompt relaxation without drowsiness.
And for environmental fanatics, Coffee Blenders' “Nude” variety is expected to be certified as organic by 2017.

Each is personally formatted and order-ready at the touch of a button to help you get the most out of your day. Coffee Blenders' unique line of healthy coffee pods and K cups® allows you to truly get the most out of your morning cup of Joe.
Healthy Coffee from Bulletproof Coffee
If you're familiar at all with coffee trends, you've probably at least heard about Bulletproof Coffee (butter coffee). This relatively new caffeinated concept drink has been touted across the internet and on multiple “doctor” and talk shows for the past few years. Unlike so many other trends that fade into existence once they prove their inability to perform, Bulletproof Coffee does have some scientific backing proving the benefits can be reached if made and used correctly.
The benefits are in the blend. Bulletproof Coffee master blenders slow-roast their specialty blends before adding in the perfect amounts of grass-fed butter and XCT oil responsible for the performance boost of a lifetime. Many people try to make this delicacy themselves or ask their favorite corner store or coffee house “barista” to curb their craving for butter coffee. But that's the best way to develop serious health problems no coffee company can help solve.
