One half to one full cup of coffee provided the apparent benefits over none at all. Interestingly, 4-5 cups of tea did the same.

From the paper:

“There was an association between the risk of dementia and coffee and tea consumption in the total population, and the relationship between the risk of all-cause dementia and the consumption of coffee and tea in hypertensive people showed J-shaped and U-shaped patterns respectively. People who drink 0.5–1 cup of coffee or 4–5 cups of tea per day have the lowest risk of dementia. The significant association between the amount of coffee and tea consumed and the risk of all-cause and vascular dementia were more likely to be found in the hypertensive population than in the non-hypertensive population. Consumers of ground coffee have the lowest risk of all-cause dementia and vascular dementia. There is no correlation between the temperature of hot beverages and the risk of dementia. Furthermore, a U-shaped relationship was observed between daily caffeine consumption and the risk of developing all-cause dementia and vascular dementia in individuals with hypertension.“

Very interesting - I was just at my doctor, have high blood pressure, and was told to cut down on my coffee consumption, no more than one cup a day...

I’ve found drinking coffee minimizes dementia by helping keep one regular.
