Morning drinks shift as coffee loses its monopoly
Morning beverage choices now include mushroom blends, fermented drinks, and roasted roots, offering varied caffeine levels and health benefits while maintaining familiar rituals, reports show.

- Nutritionally, black coffee contains less than five calories and no sugar per 8-ounce cup, while studies link sugar-sweetened beverages to metabolic risks and coffee compounds to health benefits.
