Gourmet Coffee Suppliers, J. Martinez, Analyze Coffee Vs. Energy Drinks

    NORCROSS, GA, July 22, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Kona coffee dealers, J. Martinez, would like to take a moment to talk about the differences between coffee and energy drinks. The latter have become very popular in recent years. Products like Amp, Monster, Red Bull and 5 Hour Energy are all marketed with the message that the boost users get is more effective than coffee. They also emphasize the "no crash later" phrase, as this is why many people are hesitant to drink these products in the first place.

The coffee espresso experts note that a good old cup of Joe is much healthier than many energy drinks. Although it typically contains more caffeine, it lacks the excess amount of sugar that manufacturers often put in their products. There has been a lot of debate about the health effects of coffee, but the gourmet coffee specialists remind consumers that moderation is the key.

According to John Martinez, Owner of J. Martinez & Company, "Too much of anything is bad, but drinking one or two cups of gourmet coffee is much safer than consuming an energy drink, not to mention coffee tastes better and is more relaxing. Coffee tends to affect people more quickly due to the higher concentration of caffeine, but it also doesn't have 1,000 percent of vitamin B12 like some energy drinks do. This is why people often experience the jitters instead of simply being more alert when they consume these products."

The Jamaica coffee suppliers want to remind readers that some energy drinks contain upwards of 500 mg of caffeine, which is roughly 15 times that of a cup of coffee.
