Yes 
, coffee can temporarily boost memory, but it depends on when and how much you drink.
*Here’s how it works:
1)Caffeine effect: Coffee contains caffeine, a stimulant that blocks adenosine (a brain chemical that makes you feel sleepy). This increases alertness and focus.
2)Short-term memory: Research shows caffeine can improve working memory (like remembering a phone number for a few minutes) and attention span, especially when you’re tired.
3)Long-term memory: Some studies suggest caffeine may help with memory consolidation (storing information after learning), particularly if consumed right after studying.
*Limits: Too much coffee (above ~400 mg/day, ~4 cups) can cause jitteriness, anxiety, poor sleep—ironically hurting memory and concentration.
Best way to use coffee for memory:
*1 cup before studying/exam → boosts alertness & short-term recall.
*Avoid late-night coffee → poor sleep damages long-term memory.
So, coffee doesn’t make you smarter, but it gives your brain a temporary performance boost for focus and memory.
