3 Types of Coffee Every Auto Trimmer Should Drink

Did you know that the type of coffee you drink can impact your health and productivity throughout the workday?

The medium roast drip coffee most trimmers drink is fine, but experts say other types can help optimize your performance. That’s because they provide more hydration, which is essential to health, and less sugar or artificial additives, which can cause energy crashes later in the day.

With that in mind, we asked a certified coffee specialist to give us some alternatives that can help trimmers get through a tough workday. Here’s what he recommended:

1. Cold Brew

Why it works: Cold brew is less acidic than traditional coffee, which can be gentler on the stomach. It’s also brewed to be strong, providing a longer-lasting energy boost without the intense spike and crash often associated with other coffee types.

Benefits: Cold brew is typically smoother and easier to drink in large quantities, especially for trimmers working in hot environments.

2. Bulletproof Coffee (Coffee with Butter or MCT Oil)

Why it works: This high-fat coffee blend is designed to provide long-lasting energy without a crash. The fats from butter or MCT oil slow the absorption of caffeine, creating sustained energy for physically intensive jobs.

Benefits: Promotes mental clarity and satiety, making it a great option for workers who may not have regular breaks to eat.

3. Nitro Coffee

Why it works: Infused with nitrogen, nitro coffee is smooth and slightly creamy, often requiring no added sugar or milk. It delivers a strong caffeine kick, which can help trimmers stay alert during physically demanding tasks.

Benefits: It’s less acidic and more hydrating than traditional hot coffee.

Experts say these types of coffee are ideal for providing sustained energy, alertness and physical endurance throughout the work day.

Of course, you’ll also want to be mindful of when you consume coffee. Drinking it earlier in the day can help you avoid caffeine interference with sleep, which is crucial for recovery after physical labor.
