Men and women sharing similar experiences tend to have different reactions. This can be due to brain differences—for example, women usually have more connections between their left- and right-brain than men, while men have more connections between the front and backs of their brains—or other physiological distinctions. You might be surprised to learn that men and women might also have different responses to coffee, as the guide below explains. 

Women

Fewer women drink coffee than men, with only 32.8% reporting that they have a cup daily. Those that do partake consume an average of 1.9 cups per day and prefer lattes or regular coffees as opposed to other varieties. 

When women drink coffee, the caffeine impacts them more slowly than men. It increases their cardiac output, meaning their hearts beat more blood than they would otherwise. In stressful situations, caffeine has been shown to help women more; they use the burst of energy it provides to help them resolve difficult challenges. 

Men

Men drink more coffee—50.8% of men reported doing so daily. They also tended to consume 2.4 cups—nearly 20% more than women. The caffeine in the beverage has a stimulating effect on them as soon as 10 minutes after they finish their drink, improving attention and problem-solving abilities in the short term. However, their cortisol levels do not spike the same way women's due if consuming a coffee after a meal. This hormone has many purposes, including controlling blood sugar levels and aiding memory.

Both men and women experience a higher pain threshold after consuming caffeine, which is why this substance is included in many over-the-counter pain relievers.
