Both coffee and Red Bull are energy boosters, but they are two very different drinks. First, coffee has been around for centuries, while Red Bull has only appeared in the last few decades. Here are a few other differences between these two drinks.
Coffee has more caffeine than Red Bull
Coffee has more caffeine than Red Bull, although both drinks contain caffeine below the recommended maximum of 400 mg/day. An 8oz cup of coffee contains about 80 to 200 mg of caffeine, depending on the type and brewing method. An 8.4oz can of Red Bull contains 80 mg of caffeine.
However, Red Bull also has Taurine. Taurine is a natural stimulant, and it is important for a number of bodily functions such as calcium metabolism, antioxidant protection, cardiovascular function, skeletal muscle, and retinal development. Coffee does not contain Taurine.
The effects of Taurine are less well known than those of caffeine. Currently, there are no studies showing that taking Taurine has any long-term positive or negative effects. Any of its effects are insignificant in the amounts found in Red Bull. Taurine will not be a health threat as long as Red Bull is taken in moderation.
Coffee contains less sugar than Red Bull
Coffee has a health advantage over Red Bull when it comes to other ingredients.
First, black coffee has no sugar. In 1 can of Red Bull 8.4oz contains 27g of sugar. The negative effects of consuming too much sugar have been studied and documented extensively.
Second, coffee contains many antioxidants that Red Bull does not have. There are more than 1,000 compounds in coffee, a large number of which are antioxidants. Red Bull also has a lot in it, but it lacks most of these antioxidants.
Coffee is preferred over Red Bull for breakfast
Taste is a matter of personal preference. However, most people prefer to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning than Red Bull. Coffee is often seen as more relaxing and pleasurable, but at the same time stimulating.
Coffee is as handy as Red Bull
Drinking a can of Red Bull is of course very convenient. Just grab a can, pop the lid and drink. However, this is not the only convenience drink.
There are many ways to enjoy a delicious and convenient cup of coffee. Automatic drip coffee makers simplify the brewing process, and some high-end models make a delicious cup of coffee at the push of a button or two. If you don't want to use an automatic coffee machine, you can prepare cold brew coffee in advance and then mix it with hot or iced water when you want to drink it.
