Since coffee comes from a plant there is no cholesterol in it at all.
However if you prefer to drink your coffee with animal products added (e.g. cream, ghee) then the beverage will have the cholesterol from those additions.

∙ 11y agoFirst of all, elevated cholesterol is not caused by caffeine, so you can relax. You don't have to stop drinking coffee. The increase in cholesterol is believed to be caused by oils called terpenes that are found in coffee, but are mostly removed by filters.
People who use a French press or percolator to make their coffee, or who prefer espresso or other varieties of unfiltered coffee, should monitor their cholesterol levels to be sure they are remaining normal -- especially if they drink more than two to three cups per day. People who have elevated cholesterol already should definitely switch to filtered coffee.

(And smelling it might be good for stress.)

Is coffee bad for high cholesterol?
Yes, in a round about way. Coffee has no cholesterol. Cholesterol in the diet only comes from animal products, no plants have cholesterol. Cholesterol is produced by the liver in animals. Coffee however does have cafestol which activates an acid receptor called FXR that affects how the liver regulates the cholesterol it produces, in effect elevating cholesterol levels in the blood. Cafestol is present in the natural oils of the coffee bean, paper filters used in brewing coffee can trap those oils and in effect reduce the cafestol in the brewed coffee.
