Korean Expat Community for National Disasters

• 목록

Do you ever wonder how many cups of coffee is too many? If you’re in Korea, you might be drinking more than you think! Coffee is practically a national fuel here—whether it's a quick Americano from Ediya, a fancy latte from Hollys Coffee, a cold brew from Mega Coffee, or a creamy blend from Compose Coffee, Koreans are sipping it morning, noon, and night.

Drinking coffee does come with perks. It boosts alertness, helps with focus, and can even improve your mood. That’s probably why so many office workers grab a cup after lunch, and students line up at cafés before late-night study sessions. A warm mug can feel like a hug for your brain!

But too much? That’s another story. Excessive caffeine can cause insomnia, increase anxiety, and even lead to dependence. Some people report heart palpitations or digestive issues when they overdo it. And let’s be honest—if your blood type is “Iced Americano,” it might be time to slow down.

Still, coffee culture in Korea is cozy, social, and fun. So enjoy your cup—but maybe not your sixth one of the day. After all, coffee makes us feel alive... but so does sleep. ☕
