It combines espresso, coconut water, and plant-based or dairy cream.Both the caffeine and coconut water in this drink offer potential benefits to your health and mental function.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Cloud coffee is made from coconut water and espresso. It is sometimes topped with frothed plant-based milk or cream. Cloud coffee offers potential benefits for the brain and body.\n<\/p>\n<p>  1. Provides Electrolytes for Better Hydration  <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> The electrolytes in cloud coffee may help keep you hydrated. Coconut water (used to make cloud coffee) contains electrolytes, minerals that regulate fluid balance in your body. It\u2019s especially rich in potassium, with one cup containing 600 milligrams (mg). That\u2019s more than the 451 mg in a medium banana.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> One study found that coconut water effectively replaced fluids lost from working out. Researchers measured performance, sweat loss, and levels of lactate (a chemical your body makes during intense exercise) in experienced cyclists. They found that hydration from coconut water was comparable to that of sports drinks.\n<\/p>\n<p>Does Drinking Coffee Cause Dehydration?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a common belief that drinking coffee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/dehydration-symptoms-8662174\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">dehydrates you<\/a>. However, it isn&#8217;t the case if you drink moderate amounts. One study found that three to six cups of coffee daily did not affect adults&#8217; fluid levels. But because caffeine is a diuretic\u2014it makes you pee more\u2014drinking large amounts can affect your hydration levels.<\/p>\n<p>  2. Improves Focus and Concentration  <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Espresso, the other major ingredient in cloud coffee, also offers health benefits. As regular drinkers know, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/what-does-caffeine-do-to-your-body-11717701\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">caffeine<\/a> in coffee is a \u201cpick-me-up.\u201d A standard espresso shot has about 75 mg of caffeine, compared to drip coffee, which contains between 113 and 247 mg per 12-ounce cup.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Caffeine is a stimulant; studies show that it can benefit cognitive function, helping you focus and concentrate. Drinking moderate amounts of coffee offers the following cognitive benefits:\n<\/p>\n<p> Memory, short-term recallAbility to pay attention and stay focusedAlertnessProcessing speed, how quickly you perceive and understand informationDecision makingCertain executive functions, the ability to manage thoughts, actions, and emotions, and to accomplish tasks<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Since you can develop a tolerance to caffeine, the effects in people who drink little to no coffee are more pronounced than in those who drink coffee regularly or heavily.\n<\/p>\n<p>  3. Potential Antioxidant Effects  <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> As cells in the body interact with oxygen, they release harmful byproducts\u00a0called oxygen reactive species (ROS) or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/information-about-free-radicals-2249103\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">free radicals<\/a>. Your body produces more of these in response to stress, injury, or disease. If they build up, they damage cells and tissues, raising the risk of disease. This is called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/oxidative-stress-8351176\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">oxidative stress<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/superfoods-8726545\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Antioxidants<\/a>, found in plant compounds including coconuts, neutralize free radicals. Animal studies found coconut water effective as an antioxidant. Testing effects on rat liver cells, researchers found that coconut water reduced free radical activity. Still, more studies, including those on humans, are needed to confirm this effect.\n<\/p>\n<p>  4. Supports Blood Pressure Management  <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> High blood pressure (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/hypertension-7368341\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hypertension<\/a>) raises the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. It can be especially dangerous because it doesn\u2019t cause any symptoms. Another potential benefit of the coconut water in cloud coffee is that it may help manage this issue.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_31-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> In a 2024 study of 30 adults with high blood pressure, researchers found that drinking coconut water daily for seven days significantly reduced blood pressure.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_33-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Your morning cloud coffee may help as part of a broader plan to address this issue. However, more research is needed to understand this beverage\u2019s heart effects.\n<\/p>\n<p>  5. May Help Prevent Kidney Stones\u00a0\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_36-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/kidney-stones-5212960\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kidney stones<\/a> (nephrolithiasis) are solid growths that form from compounds in the kidneys. They can range in size from a grain of sand to a pea, and typically leave the body through the urinary tract. Problems arise when they get stuck and block the flow of urine, causing symptoms like:\n<\/p>\n<p> Severe, chronic pain on the back or sideBloody, red-colored urineFever, chillsVomitingFoul-smelling or cloudy urineBurning with urination<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_40-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Early research on the topic suggests that drinking coconut water may help prevent kidney stones. A study of eight people with no history of kidney stones found that regular consumption raised potassium, chloride, and citrate levels in urine. These are the building blocks of kidney stones; by helping to flush these out, coconut water may help prevent this disease.<\/p>\n<p>Verywell Health uses only high-quality sources, including peer-reviewed studies, to support the facts within our articles.
