Two major studies have found coffee drinkers are less likely to die of several illnesses - including heart disease and cancer.

But scientists in Europe and the US say the link could be due to those people already having healthier lifestyles.

The study found that people who drank two to three cups of coffee daily had an 18% reduced risk of death.

Stephen Hurst runs a coffee-buying company and is pleased to hear it's linked with good health.
