Topics cover roasting, brewing tools and techniques for espresso and French Press, and physiological effects on digestion, gut bacteria, and the nervous system. Caffeine and other coffee compounds increase gut motility through nervous-system stimulation, hormonal signaling, and reflex pathways, which commonly accelerates bowel movements. Coffee consumption can modify gut microbial composition and metabolic activity, with effects dependent on dose, brewing method, and consumption patterns. Short-term physiological responses include faster intestinal transit; long-term microbiota changes depend on overall diet and coffee habits. Practical preparation choices influence compound profiles and resultant bodily responses while avoiding graphic detail.
