Not really sure...: Coffee does have caffeine, and it is the same chemical class as Theophylline, which is a medicine used for COPD. So, technically, coffee may help COPD. But, there are usually much better treatments than coffee. And...if you drink too much coffee, it can cause other adverse events too. So, drink coffee if you like it (in moderation), but I wouldn't use it to treat COPD. Good luck!
