Brief comment | health related (TMAO)

It appears that at least in animals resveratrol and garlic supplementation have been able to reduce TMAO gut production.   Some have said fiber might help reduce TMAO production too.  While TMAO may or may not be as harmful as suggested, there is some evidence linking higher levels with higher mortality.   In any case might not be a bad idea to take precautions against TMAO production just in case.

An omnivorous or carnivorous diet may have high carnitine which the gut may transform into TMAO.   Whether that would be enough to caused a sustained increase with sufficient consumption remains to be seen.   At least in eggs moderate consumption results in rapid drop, following the brief  rise, in TMAO produced down to base levels, though excessive production may or may not result in sustained increase of TMAO in organism.

Coffee associated with longer telomeres

"Coffee Consumption Is Positively Associated with Longer Leukocyte Telomere Length in the Nurses' Health Study.
...
We found that higher coffee consumption is associated with longer telomeres among female nurses. Future studies are needed to better understand the influence of coffee consumption on telomeres, which may uncover new knowledge of how coffee consumption affects health and longevity."-link

Despite the recent findings that caffeine appears to shorten telomeres, it seems that higher coffee consumption over time is associated with longer telomeres.  So it is likely something in coffee can more than counter the supposed telomere shortening properties of caffeine.   Perhaps decaffito, the naturally caffeine free plant under development may even preserve or even lengthen telomeres a bit with naturally caffeine free coffee.

"As you can tell from the graph, the “sweet spot” for the lowest risk of death seems to be at 4-5 cups per day.

Two other review studies found that 4 cups (12) and 4-5 cups (13) were associated with the lowest risk of dying over the study periods."-source authority nutrition

Coffee consumption seems to be associated and possibly result in lowered mortality, lower risk of diabetes, lower risk of dementia, lower risk of some cancers, improved mental function, might help with weight loss, etc.

Excellent drink, just make sure to keep the coffee machine clean so it doesn't develop mold or other stuff.   Easiest to clean seems to be the chemex coffee maker.

While the chemex seems to have some complex coffee preparation videos on youtube, it is likely that simpler procedures can be taken albeit with less stellar coffee flavor.   Still as the simplest to clean as well as beautiful designed I think it's an excellent coffee making device.
