 Image by Chaval Brasil via Flickr Time for another poll… What do you put in your coffee. All the coffee tasters in the world confidently say that coffee should be drunk black. When they line up to taste test coffee (known as ‘cupping’) they sip from a row of small glasses, each with a little black coffee. But [...]  Image via Wikipedia But it wasn’t us. Sorry. Not going to take that one for the team. But the Sacramento Bee did – sort of. I wish they had done a double-blind test against regular brewed Starbucks, but alas no. The bottom line was that they felt it was better than most instant but not very good [...]  Image via Wikipedia First off, we are not going to pretend that we can tell you what the best cup for drinking coffee is. Only you can do that. But we are going to run down some of the alternatives and discuss them and maybe introduce you to a few alternatives. The 16oz paper cup – made [...]  Image via Wikipedia I’d guess that most people if asked would say that coffee was probably not so great for their liver, maybe not terrible or anything, but not great.

This rule is based on the observation that people enjoy a single really good, rich, tasty cup of coffee far more than two cups of any [...]  Image via Wikipedia A new survey by HealthSavers (link goes to a PDF file of the full survey results) shows that, no surprise, Seattle residents consumed the most coffee among US cities. Interestingly, the main survey is about caffeine intake – and by that measurement Tampa wins. The other common caffeinated beverages in the study are [...]  Most coffee machines are actually drip coffee makers, but the coffee they make is by necessity an average cup of coffee – although the Technivorm Moccamaster tries awfully hard to avoid the problems. The issues is that drip coffee making – dripping hot water through grounds and a filter – is a method that requires [...] |
