OK, curiosity got the better of me. According to a 2007 Science Digest report, 5 cups of unfiltered coffee per day can increase cholesterol 6% to 8% because of the diterpenes.
My morning mug is usually slightly less than 3 fluid cups (1 large mug), so I guess if the relationship is linear (not a valid assumption, but I don't have any better data) then I'm looking at a ballpark of 3-4% increase in cholesterol if unfiltered.... not gonna kill you by next week, but its significant (for me anyway, I'm not a spring chicken).
