Are you a coffee drinker? If yes, you probably have more gut bacteria than most people.

After analyzing the intestinal microbiome data of 22,000 people, researchers found that those who drink coffee regularly and continuously have a specific microorganism called "Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus".

By analysing joint plasma metabolomes, it was showed a Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus-dependent increase in blood levels of quinic acid, trigonelline and caffeine, plus other uncharacterized molecules, among coffee drinkers compared with non-drinkers.

This study isn't just a sip—it's a symphony of science, revealing the microbiome's role in the rhythm of coffee metabolism. It demonstrates the potential for future microbiome studies in response to individual dietary factors.
