How To Make CBD Coffee

CBD is continuing to grow in popularity as more people discover the benefits it has for relieving a variety of ailments and conditions. However, it’s also becoming a part of some people’s daily routines for the overall benefits to their health and wellbeing. 

A lot of us enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, but while caffeine is perfect for energizing you in the morning, many people are reporting increased benefits when CBD oil is added to their morning coffee(see also: Best CBD Coffee).

But how do you make CBD coffee? That’s what we’ll be answering in our article today, as well as discussing the benefits of adding CBD oil to your coffee as well as the side effects. Let’s get into it!

Can You Put CBD Oil In Coffee?

You can take CBD in a variety of ways, and there are a couple of coffee and CBD oil infused products available. But a lot of people just add a few drops of CBD oil to their preferred coffee. 

But while some experts have been vocal about the benefits of drinking CBD coffee, some are skeptical of the balance that could be caused by combining CBD with caffeine.

This is because CBD is a relaxant while caffeine is a stimulant, so while CBD might dull the effects of caffeine, it’s also likely that the benefits of both substances will combine. 

A lot of CBD fans love CBD coffee because the caffeine energizes you while the CBD reduces the anxiety and jitters caffeine can induce. 

However, instead of adding CBD oil to coffee yourself, we recommend buying CBD oil infused coffee products.

This takes away the hassle of adding CBD oil to coffee yourself and lets you rest assured that you’re getting a dosage that is suitable for what you need CBD for. This might be to boost your wellbeing, or relieve an existing condition.

Why Should You Put CBD In Your Coffee?

CBD coffee lets you get all the benefits of CBD in your favorite beverage.

These benefits include reducing feelings of stress and anxiety, promoting feelings of tranquility and relaxation, boosting your mood, having a positive impact on skin skin conditions, pain relief, improving focus, and reducing caffeine jitters.

How Should You Take CBD Oil In Your Coffee?

Fans of CBD coffee mostly add CBD to their drink once they’ve made their coffee.

You can do this yourself by making your preferred coffee beverage with milk and sugar added already (if that’s how you take it), and then placing a couple of drops of CBD oil in there.

We recommend starting off with a dose of 15 mg of CBD oil. You just need to stir it with a spoon to get your CBD-coffee fix!

How Much CBD Oil Should Be Added To Coffee?

As we mentioned above, we recommend adding 15-20 mg of CBD oil to your coffee.

However, everyone is different and so will likely prefer a different dosage of CBD oil, especially because recommended dosages all depend on a person’s BMI, diet, genetics, metabolism, and weight. 

Therefore, if you’re new to CBD you should begin with a small dosage and gradually increase it until you find a dosage that works for you.

Can You Put CBD In Normal Coffee Granules?

If you’re an experienced CBD user then you may want to up the ante and infuse CBD into your coffee granules rather than just dropping some oil into your coffee.

Some people believe this is the more effective way to enjoy CBD coffee as the CBD has soaked into the granules and is therefore more potent. 

If you want to give this a try, just grind your coffee beans and put the beans into a cafetière. Add hot water and the CBD oil to the cafetière.

Wait a couple of seconds for the warm water and coffee to fuse together and brew before you pour into a mug.

Does CBD Oil Make You Sleepy?

This is one of the most pertinent questions around CBD coffee. After all, do the effects of CBD oil and caffeine contradict each other?

A lot of fans of CBD use the oil to help them get to sleep, and have noticed dramatic improvements in their sleeping patterns after using the CBD oil.

CBD oil can help improve your sleep in a variety of ways. It can improve the quality of sleep, make you fall asleep faster, reduce anxiety, and much more. However, how effective CBD is in smaller doses is fascinating.

Smaller doses of CBD have been found to make you more alert and help you stay awake, while still dulling the more negative effects of caffeine. 

What Are The Side Effects Of CBD Coffee?

While no major side effects have been found when drinking CBD coffee, that doesn’t mean there are none. There have just been no clinical studies done to discover any long-term side effects.

At the moment, only the proven side effects of CBD oil and caffeine individually can help us determine what possible side effects CDB coffee might have. 

Caffeine Side Effects

  • Diarrhea
  • Dizziness
  • Fever
  • Insomnia
  • Irritability
  • Headaches
  • Anxiety

CBD Side Effects

  • Diarrhea
  • Dizziness
  • Drowsiness
  • Dry mouth
  • Low blood pressure.

Dizziness and diarrhea are the most popular side effects of CBD and coffee, and – just like with anything – it is best to use CBD and caffeine in moderation to avoid negative effects.

It’s also important to make sure your coffee isn’t too hot, as overly hot CBD coffee can dampen the effects of the CBD. This is because the efficacy of CBD is diminished when heated, particularly at 71 degrees Fahrenheit or over.

This is why it’s a good idea to use CBD coffee products rather than incorporating CBD oil into coffee yourself.
