In a nutshell

Coffee in moderation (3-4 cups per day) does not seem to cause significant adverse health effects long-term for most people. It may well be protective against type 2 diabetes, liver disease and some other conditions.

Some caution in coffee consumption may be appropriate for elderly hypertensives, and those with hyperlipidaemia should drink filtered coffee.
