The data here isn't comprehensive enough to show a direct causal relationship. It's not clear if coffee drinking is warding off dementia, if the early stages of dementia are altering people's coffee drinking, or if there's a third unknown factor affecting both coffee intake and dementia risk.
Yes, it's just observational. And confounding variables are a thing too.
But the evidence is mounting, imo, on the benefits of drinking coffee. As well as on the negative effects of sugar. As well as the ones from highly processed food: #847242.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the funders of these pro-coffee studies were companies somehow related to the coffee industry. Most nutritional studies are funded by corporations.
