In addition to refreshing the mind, people now also hope to lose weight with coffee.
According to the report by “Scientific American” on August 13th, since the beginning of 2024, the emerging trend of dieting and recipes known as the “coffee loophole” has sparked people’s new interest in using coffee (or caffeine) for weight loss.
It is reported that the “coffee loophole” refers to adding household spices or commercial supplements to a cup of coffee to enhance the weight loss effect. Ideally, these mixtures should be poured in within 7 seconds after hunger strikes.

Coffee has become a symbol of modern urban life. In May 2024, the “2024 China Urban Coffee Development Report” jointly released by the Shanghai Cultural and Creative Industry Promotion Association, Hongqiao International Coffee Port, Shanghai Jiaotong University Institute of Cultural Innovation and Youth Development, and other institutions showed that in 2023, the scale of China’s coffee industry reached 265.4 billion yuan, and it is expected to increase to 313.3 billion yuan by 2024. From 2016 to 2023, the per capita annual coffee consumption in China increased from 9 cups to 16.74 cups. As of March 2024, there were a total of 52,308 domestic chain coffee stores.
