No. It is best to fast 8hrs before a blood test. If you have to take prescribed medication before blood work, it is best to take that medication with a small glass of water. Any food or liquid that you introduce into your body before a blood test is performed will cause innaccurate results because your physician is looking to determine baseline levels, not baseline levels plus the effect of coffee.
I would imagine that the coffee is not something that you have to drink so I would just stay away so that you spend your money on the most accurate testing and medical advice that you can get.

User responses: No. From what I have read caffeine does affect cholesterol levels and/or the way they can be interpreted when reading results of a cholesterol blood test. I would suggest that you be clean of any caffeine - three or more days ahead of time - to obtain a caffeine-free result.Advice seems to vary. Some say that black coffee (no sugar, no milk) is fine. Sources for that listed below.
no
No because it has caffeine and that messes up some blood cells that can make you positive for certain blood disorders

Water. Anything else will affect the glucose levels...including black coffee.

You should be able to drink coffee before a CBC (Complete Blood count) test, unless your doctor ordered additional blood tests and tells you to not drink after midnight (NPO=nothing by mouth).
