First of all, it appears the scientific consensus is going in the direction that , overall, Coffee consumption is not unhealthy, and may even have some health benefits
However, cafestol and kahweol are probably bad due to their effect on LDL. I read in some sources that the effect can be up to 15 points in LDL level, which is enough to care. (To get an idea: my LDL is 170, <100 would be considered healthy. Eliminating cafestol/kahweol won't get me to healthy levels, but it would be significant.)
