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 [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/what-do-you-put-in-your-coffee/feed/ 3 http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/someone-had-to-do-it-the-starbucks-instant-taste-test/ http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/someone-had-to-do-it-the-starbucks-instant-taste-test/#comments Wed, 18 Mar 2009 17:37:58 +0000 admin http://www.getin2coffee.com/?p=98 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 [...] Related posts:

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. WRONG! Turns out, according to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, that coffee is extremely protective of your liver. Of course, if, like me, [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/coffee-and-your-liver/feed/ 1 http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/how-much-coffee-do-we-drink/ http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/how-much-coffee-do-we-drink/#comments Thu, 12 Feb 2009 22:52:49 +0000 admin http://www.getin2coffee.com/?p=69 Image via Wikipedia

Nestor Osorio, Executive Director of the International Coffee Organization, i s concerned that coffee production this year is not going to meet demand – by about 480 million kilos or pretty close to one billion pounds. That led me to an interesting question. How much coffee do we actually drink globally?

Well, some people are referring to the battle starting up between Starbucks – with its new ‘pairings’ of a latte or tall coffee plus some form of pastry item (surely not one that is selling poorly that it is trying to offload?) for $3.95 – and Caribou Coffee with a temporary price cut [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/coffee-wars/feed/ 0 http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/one-simple-thing/ http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/one-simple-thing/#comments Fri, 06 Feb 2009 18:17:34 +0000 admin http://www.getin2coffee.com/?p=53 Image via Wikipedia

After many years of coffee drinking, coffee brewing and now, coffee roasting and coffee geekery, I have come up with one simple rule for making better coffee.

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 [...] Related posts:

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 [...] No related posts.]]> http://www.getin2coffee.com/2009/shock-seattle-consumes-most-coffee-in-us/feed/ 1 http://www.getin2coffee.com/2008/how-to-brew-perfect-drip-coffee/ http://www.getin2coffee.com/2008/how-to-brew-perfect-drip-coffee/#comments Thu, 11 Dec 2008 23:51:12 +0000 admin http://www.getin2coffee.com/?p=21

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 [...] Related posts:
