What is the difference between Organic Coffee and Regular Coffee?
ByI need to know health benefits, price, and any other differences.
The only difference is the PRICE!!! there are no health benefits to having Organic anything. All food and drink is healthy to an extent.
There are the same vitamins and minerals in all foods no matter if they are labeled Organic, Natural, or not labeled. These are all in the same mg or grams of content just as long as you watch the amounts you are consuming.
Always go for Portion Control!!

Organic foods are produced according to certain production standards, meaning they are grown without the use of conventional pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste, or sewage sludge, and that they were processed without ionizing radiation or food additives.
Organic coffee is more expensive than non-organic, but the difference in price (depending on your location) is not that much (in my area of Toronto Canada the difference is about 15% higher for organic).
Health benefits are the same as for other organic products - you aren't putting chemical toxins into your body. Pesticides and herbicides have been tentatively linked to long-term health issues such as liver disease, kidney disease, and birth defects.
However, a 2002 analysis of all past organic food studies found no proof that organic food offers greater nutritional values, more consumer safety or any distinguishable difference in taste.
For some people, organic foods taste better. And many have simply made the decision to reduce toxins in their bodies where possible.

Organic is more expensive, however there are no fertilizers or pesticides used on it. I have found that I don't get as "jazzed" on the caffeine from organic coffee as I do from regular coffee.

One variable about organic products is that typcially anything grown organic is free of pesticids, instead organic farmers use benefical insects to fight against insects and bugs that would destroy the crop. Fertlization is different as well.
this article below was very informative and will review the differences and answer your question in reference to health benefits.

The majority of coffee is produced organically, but it is expensive for coffee growers to get certified as "organic" so they can't always sell it as organic coffee. Price is going to be the major difference in organic verse non organic coffee, if you feel the social conscience to buy organic do so.

Regular coffee as compared to organic coffee? Coffee crops are sometime sprayed with synthetic chemicals., most of which is burned off during the roasting process. Organic coffee is usually produced in small batches and is certified free of synthetic chemicals. Some say that organic taste and smell better. You deceived.
