Frequently Asked Questions
+ What is CoffeeShape Green Coffee Made of?
CoffeeShape Green Coffee is made of a blend of green coffee beans and coffee Arabica for flavour and coffee aroma.
The coffee plant is a small tree which produces fruit, called cherries. As part of the harvesting and production process, the cherries are dried in the sun for several weeks until their flesh splits and releases the bean contained inside. This bean is what is known as green coffee and it remains unroasted.
Green coffee beans have certain health benefits that roasted beans do not. The next answer will address this question more thoroughly.
CoffeeShape Green Coffee is made from 100% green coffee beans. In their unroasted state, green coffee beans have natural weight loss properties, which are only present when treated properly in the extraction process. The extraction process activates the green coffee bean. The green coffee bean reduces the absorption of sugar from the food that you eat (by turning it into energy). Once it reduces the absorption of sugar from the food you eat, it will look around for stored fat to turn into energy for you to burn. In a nutshell, Green Coffee extract promotes weight loss by the conversion of fat into energy.
The green coffee beans have natural weight loss properties and the active compound in the green coffee bean, Chlorogenic Acid, limits glucose intake in the small intestine and regulates metabolism. In addition, by inhibiting the activity of glucose-6-phosphotase, it limits the release of glucose into the general circulation, thus encouraging the release of triglycerides from adipose tissue. Its combination with other components of the green coffee bean (namely carnitine, phelonic acid and 5 caffeoyl-quinic acid) also contributes to this activity.
Yes, CoffeeShape Green Coffee is a tool to support your weight loss journey, not the solution.
No matter what anyone tells you, there is no quick fix solution to a healthy weight loss/maintenance program without eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly as well. We do say that CoffeeShape Green Coffee is a tool to support your weight loss. The best way to describe this is by using a practical example. If we asked you to pull out hundreds of weeds with your bare hands, you could do it, but it would probably take you a long time and would be quite difficult. However, if we gave you a tool, such as a shovel - the job would be so much easier. CoffeeShape Green Coffee is like your shovel, it makes the task of losing weight easier. Yes, you need to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly, but CoffeeShape Green Coffee can help to shift those stubborn kilos that diet and exercise alone cannot get rid of.
Hundreds of people derive great benefits from drinking CoffeeShape Green Coffee, but like all products, it is not suitable for everyone. CoffeeShape Green Coffee is not recommended for:
• Those suffering from cardiac conditions, high blood pressure or diabetes • During pregnancy or for nursing mothers • Anyone under 16 years of age No.
As mentioned, hundreds of people drink CoffeeShape Green Coffee without incident and derive huge health benefits from it; but we are required by law to provide information regarding its suitability. For example, if you are pregnant, you shouldn’t drink our coffee. We are a responsible company and therefore we will advise you openly, rather than keeping it a secret in order to make a sale, when perhaps a sale isn’t suitable. We are aware that other websites selling various products do not advise about the suitability of their products, but we do not condone these actions, and we choose to always put your health first. If you are unsure about whether CoffeeShape Green Coffee is suitable for you, please speak to your General Practitioner or Physician.
It tastes a lot like instant coffee. We have customers who have only preferred tea, used CoffeeShape and were pleasantly surprised at how smooth and drinkable CoffeeShape Green Coffee really is!
Energised! By drinking CoffeeShape Green Coffee, you will undoubtedly feel more energised, purely because the content of caffeine from a green coffee bean offers a more sustainable level of energy over a longer period of time throughout the day.
We do not recommend "going on a diet", rather, we recommend a change in diet. Remember, this is not just about losing weight, it’s about being healthier. Eating regular, healthy meals will aid your weight loss. For comprehensive information on how to make positive changes to your diet, please click Weight Loss and Healthy Living Tips.
No. You will need to have your first cup of CoffeeShape Green Coffee before breakfast and before 9am, but definitely not in place of breakfast. Your body needs the energy from food to sustain a healthy fat loss program. This is especially important so that you lose the right type of weight, that being ‘fat’, instead of ‘lean muscle’. For more information on healthy breakfast options, please click Weight Loss and Healthy Living Tips.
Yes. We recommend that you drink up to 3 litres of water every day. This is very important because your body needs the lubrication to release toxins in your fat and flush them out of your body. By not drinking this recommended amount you may become constipated – so drink up to loosen up!
Weigh yourself when you first start the CoffeeShape Green Coffee program. For the first week, weigh yourself once on the first day, and then track your weight loss every few days. After the first week, track your weight at the same time every day, so that you can see the cumulative loss. As you see the grams, and then kilos literally drop from your body, this will truly motivate you to think about what else you can do to boost your weight loss program. The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning just before you go to the bathroom.
Yes. When you begin using CoffeeShape, you should also weigh yourself. Measure your Chest, Waist and Hips. After the first day measurements, only measure yourself every 3 weeks, at 4, 8 and 12.
One satchet of CoffeeShape contains around 38 mg per cup, less than a glass of Coca-cola, or Diet Coke.
Each sachet contains 200mg special green coffee extract equivalent to 2g Coffee canephora dried seed.
Yes. Apart from weight loss properties and ongoing weight maintenance support, the green bean also provides other health benefits such as a consistent and sustained level of energy to help get you through your busy day!

Some of our customers continue to drink it daily due to its energy-boosting properties! Also other customers have reported that they continue to drink CoffeeShape because it supports their weight maintenance programme.
