Welcome ToThe Black Coffee Life

Sip Smarter.

Live Better.

Hi, I’m Mark. I never drank coffee. Then, in early 2025, I was diagnosed with a serious liver condition. One of the strategies I was given by the doctor to address the problem was to drink 2-3 cups of “black” coffee (no sweeteners or creamers) per day.

I initially approached it as “coffee as medicine,” and simply put up with the bitterness and burnt taste of what I was drinking. But then, as my coffee journey progressed, I discovered the different beans, grinds, and brewing methods that coffee offers–and that drinking coffee black not only had health benefits but could taste good, too!

What This Site Is About

This is not a site for hard-core coffee enthusiasts–you won’t find much about sipping coffee from spoons or raving about the latest gourmet beans that are only found on the seventh plant from the east on some farm in southern Malawi. You will find how to get the best taste and health benefits from your black coffee source of choice (including the grocery store)!
