Abstract in brief

Coffee is known to influence bowel functions like motility, secretion, and absorption, and recent studies suggest it also modulates gut microbiota by increasing beneficial bacteria such as Firmicutes and Actinobacteria, while decreasing others like Bacteroidetes and Enterobacteria.
Moderate coffee consumption (around 4 cups a day) appears to enhance gut microbiota diversity and potentially improve gut health, but excessive intake (more than 5 cups a day) may lead to issues such as reflux, periodontal diseases, and worsening of Crohn’s disease.
Overall, current research indicates that moderate coffee intake has beneficial effects on gut microbiota and bowel functions, but more studies are needed due to conflicting results and to better understand the role of microbiota in coffee-related gastrointestinal changes.]
