Pengambilan sampel menggunakan metode accidental sampling. Data dikumpulkan secara online termasuk usia, jenis kelamin, pekerjaan, pendapatan, aktivitas fisik, konsumsi kopi (jenis dan frekuensi), berat badan, dan tinggi badan. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis menggunakan Uji Korelasi Spearman.Hasil: Sebagian besar responden mengonsumsi kopi (67,3%) dengan frekuensi 1-3 kali / minggu (49,1%). Jenis kopi yang paling banyak dikonsumsi sehari-hari adalah kopi hitam (10,9%) dan kopi instan merek Kapal Api (9,1%).

As many as 23.6% of respondents were obese, but there was insignificant relationship between coffee consumption and nutritional status (p = 0.797). Conclusions: There is no link between coffee consumption and the nutritional status of WFH workers. In further research, it can be explored more deeply about matters related to job characteristics and the history of coffee consumption during the pandemic among WFH workers.Keywords: coffee consumption, nutritional status, WFH workers
