Is Egg Coffee the Perfect Morning Pick-Me-Up? Egg-cellent Brew
Waking up may have just gotten more egg-citing! If you can’t start your day without coffee and breakfast, why not have them in the same tasty cup? Egg coffee is the latest food trend, whisking its way through social media. People have been adding egg whites, yolks, and even shells to their morning beverage since the 1800s, and this eggy cup of Joe is now gaining popularity and raising a few eyebrows. Is egg coffee the perfect, protein-packed pick-me-up or a recipe for a stomach ache? Let’s get cracking! Let’s egg-splore the trend. Thanks to a barista sharing his favorite yolky brew recipe, egg coffee became popular on social media. He prepares the drink by cracking a whole egg into a small bowl of coffee grounds and water. Then, he boils the mix in a pan with more water before straining it into a mug. He said the resulting drink tastes like “black tea but without the astringency.” Are there egg-stra perks? Fans of yolky java enjoy the flavor. The proteins in the egg reduce the acidity and bitterness of the coffee, while the brew method
might enhance the amount of caffeine per cup. Eggs are an excellent source of protein, so starting the day
with an egg coffee could give you an energy boost and keep you full longer, reducing food cravings. It does have extra calories, about 200 in a cup, so consider that before you drink up throughout the day. The yolk’s on you? Are the health benefits and flavor really all they’re cracked up to be? There’s no question that eggs are an excellent protein source, but raw or undercooked eggs pose potential health risks. Raw eggs can contain bacteria like salmonella or E. coli, and eggshells could damage your digestive system — don’t let them free-range around your innards. To ensure your eggs are fully cooked, the temperature of the coffee needs to reach 160 degrees F. To play it safe, opt for pasteurized liquid eggs instead of cracking raw eggs directly into your mug.
