Review: Bunn My Cafe MC Model Pour Over Single Serve Coffee Pod Brewer

The BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer is a modified single cup pour over brewer with a reservoir refreshed with each cup you brew by adding from 4 to 14 ozs of water each time you brew. The Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer uses coffee pods and tea pods and features both a standard brew mode and a pulse brew mode for tea and darker coffees. The BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer is also very compact and has a stainless steel exterior. Unlike the older Bunn My Cafe this brewer comes with one pod drawer for brewing that can be used for tea and coffee.

Key features of the Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer include:

Customize Your Cup – choose coffee or tea pod and choose your brew strengthAroma – Enjoy fresh coffee aroma with pods as they brewFast – Great hot coffee or tea in under a minuteBuilt to Last – 2 year limited warrantyPulse brew option – extracts bolder coffee flavor; preferred setting for teaPatented Jet Action Sprayhead – propels water through the pods to release flavor and aromaPod Drawer – compatible with hundreds of coffee and tea pods plus tea bagsStainless Steel Hot Water Tank – keeps water at 200F the right temperature to brew without bitternessThe Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer comes with an assortment of coffee pods and tea pods so you can start brewing right away.

You remove the drawer and the brewer will start to heat
up. Inserting the coffee pod is easy to do and you can
use the holder to compost it after use.

Trying a Variety of Coffee Pods and Coffee Roasts with the MC Model Bunn My Cafe

We tried all of the coffee pods and tea pods that came with the Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer. We have to say the variety and selection was excellent. Anytime you can sample right from the box some of the best coffees you can get in coffee pod format makes us a true believer.

SDC11971.jpg

Some of the coffees included:

Reunion Island Coffee pods – Donut Shop, Vanilla Hazelnut, Sweet Unity Farms Mahale HIghlands and moreWolfgang Puck Coffee Pods – Sorrento BlendCity Steam Single Serve Gourmet Coffee Pods – Various blends including City RoastOrgana Tea Pods – English Breakfast and Others

We are dark coffee drinkers, and even a milder roast has to be really well brewed. There are two modes on the BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer and in just about every case we chose the pulse brew method. Why? Pre-wetting a coffee pod makes for a much better cup of coffee. You can pre-wet and use the non-pulse brew mode, but the pulse brew does it for you by first wetting a little, then pausing, and doing this several times until you get a rich cup of coffee. We think the pulse mode is the way to go for most coffee drinkers.

SDC11979.jpg

The non-pulse mode is also great for just making a cup of hot water, and using it for something like hot cocoa. We also did find light coffee drinkers preferred this mode with a french roast coffee. They got the extraction and flavor but the coffee was not as dark.

How good is the coffee?

Hot and good. The head brew temp claims to be 200 F in the tank, and we found at the brew head exit this to be in the 197+ range. So that means inside at the coffee extraction point we have a really high temperature at around 200 F. The coffee extraction on all levels is well – stunning. The flavors from the coffee pods are rich and delicious and have regular brewed coffee notes.

SDC11982.jpg

We did some cross comparison with the Wolfgang Puck Sorrento Blend K-Cups and the Wolfgand Puck Sorrrent Blend coffee pods and found the coffee pod flavor to come out just a little ahead.

SDC11992.jpg

Composting Coffee Pods and Tea Pods

We think you’ll like how eco-friendly coffee pods are. You an compost just about any coffee pod as it’s just paper and coffee grounds. You’ll want to get a coffee pod trash can like this one. It will help you make sure you recycle those coffee pods.

The Power On Feature of the Bunn My Cafe MC Model

This is the one feature you have to get used to and takes about 1/2 a day. There is no “power switch” the brewer goes into standby mode after 6 hours and keep the water in the tank on demand hot for that time. After it goes into standby mode when you pull out the coffee pod drawer the brewer heats up and is ready for use in a few minutes. At first we were used to having our brewer have a shut off but then after the day and many days after that – we were really into this.

SDC11989.jpg We also tried the Dunkin Donut coffee pods. Result?
Excellent cup of Dunkin. Excellent.

First of all the water tank is small and keeping it hot is like having an instant hot dispenser so not that eco-unfriendly. And secondly we love how quick we can get another cup.

Conclusions

We really have to say there’s little not to like about the coffee pod brewer from Bunn. The MC Model My Cafe from BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer is really hard to beat for a little coffee pod brewer that creates amazingly rich coffee. We love the foot print and think you’ll like the results from the brewer.

Pros

Small footprintTwo brew modes for light and darker coffeeOn demand coffee brewing with 8 oz pour over methodGreat extraction on coffees and teas100s of coffee and tea pods can now be yours to brewEasy to use coffee pods and coffee pod drawerSimple ControlsCoffee in about a minute when the brewer is onFresh coffee or tea each time because you always fill with new water and keep the brewer reservoir in a cycle

Cons

No water reservoir – you have to pour over a cup each time (for some a pro for others a con).

We want to thank Bunn for providing the Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer to review.

The suggested retail on the BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer is $99.99 to $139.99.

Starting A Successful Vending Machine Business

One thing almost every business has in common is that their people like to eat. Regardless of the size of the business, everyone gets hungry at some point during the day. Many professional offices today are set up in refurbished homes and most have a kitchen in which their employees can eat lunch or grab a snack during the day. The problem with this set up is that someone from the business has to run to the store for supplies occasionally.


Offering your shopping service to business may require you to visit the business and take stock of their food inventories before heading to the store or you can have someone call or fax in an order and you can go shopping and replenish their food supply. They may also have a coffee service along with frozen or refrigerated meals and a microwave and if not, you can offer the suggestion and possibly increase your business.


Vending machines are not longer the sole property of large companies. An individual can buy their own vending machines and install them in many different types of businesses such as auto repair shops, small factories and the break rooms of nearly every type of business. Merchandise to sell in vending machines can be bought at wholesale through shopping clubs and if you keep the prices reasonable, the turn of the merchandise can quickly turn your machines into a profitable business.


The trick to operating a successful vending machine business is to keep the product fresh as any out of date food items that remain will quickly cause you to lose the right to keep the machines in place. Fast response to any complaints or a malfunctioning machine will also help keep your machines producing an income. While one or two machines may help you get this business started, having several large and small vending machines will quickly add to your profits.


The food service industry has come a long way since the days of trucks driving around to factories with hot and cold sandwiches and drinks. There are many ready to eat microwavable meals that can be purchased at wholesale and resold to businesses for their employees. A word of caution on food service however, is that you should only buy from reputable suppliers and make sure that all food safety steps are taken. Someone getting sick from eating a sandwich that has gone bad will quickly kill your business and you bank account.


There are numerous opportunities in the food service industry catering to businesses and by talking to the employees their needs can be better addressed. While a business owner or manager may believe they know what their employees want, it is the workers dropping their coins into the machine and it is their needs being met that will make your business successful.

Coffee machines are expensive, especially if you want one with the state of the art features. Instead of buying a new expensive machine, it would not be such a bad idea to buy used coffee machines. It would not only save some cash but also wouldn’t make you feel guilty every time you want to change the machine. There are people who do change their coffee machines very frequently and it would be to your benefit to keep an eye open for such machines. They are often in new condition and have been used gently. Therefore, they are quite a bargain.

Used coffee machines are quite useful for those looking for commercial coffee machines or office coffee machines . The reason for this being that automatic machines used for commercial purposes are very expensive. If you are able to get a used coffee machine for half the original cost, it is quite a big saving and it makes sense for new businesses to find such ways to cut on initial outlay on expenses.

An office coffee machine is a must for every office as it not only saves time and boosts the morale of the employees but also improves productivity. When the staff has access to good coffee, why would they leave the office premises to get a cup of coffee? It has also been found that “in-house networking” occurs around the office coffee machine . Such a networking promotes teamwork and uplifts the quality of work. Frankly, who wouldn’t appreciate the boss who takes care of his employees!!!

From the business point of view, the ideal solution would be an office coffee machine for the employees but without burning a hole in the employer’s pocket. That is possible only when the coffee machine is either used or rental.

While buying used coffee machines , one has to look into a lot of things other than the price. Many sellers will actually offer a warranty on the machine as an assurance, particularly if it is being sold within the warranty period. If not, you may ask about the manufacturer’s warranty.

Introudction To Gourmet Coffee

Edit Article |

The word Gourmet is used to refer to the fancier grade, cut, or quality of many of the foods and beverages we consume. Gourmet foods and drinks have long been associated as the regular fare for the rich and famous who can afford the higher pricing that often accompanies many of these finer food and beverage versions. Coffee is a beverage that has been available in cheap, regular and gourmet versions for a long time and the consumption rate of coffee among people from around the world continues to increase every year. Gourmet coffee may have once only been served in the finest dining establishments and found being served mostly in the homes of the upper class, but gourmet coffee is widely available and affordable to a variety of people and is found in a variety of settings today.

Coffee is made from coffee beans which are found within the berries that develop and ripen on a number of smaller evergreen bush plant species known as the Coffea plant. After ripening, coffee berries are harvested, and then undergo a processing which also includes drying them. It is the coffee beans that remain after the processing and drying of the coffee berries. The beans are then roasted to various degrees which cause them to change physically and in the tastes they produce. Finally, the coffee beans are grinded down into a fine consistency that is commonly known as coffee grounds, and packaged and shipped to destinations around the world where consumers can buy and brew coffee grounds to make coffee in commercial, hospitality, institutional, and residential settings. Some people prefer to grind their own coffee beans before brewing them for coffee. Packaged coffee beans that have not been ground can be purchased in stores and ground using the grinding mills that are made available in most of the stores selling them, but also with grinding machines in the home.

The two most commercially grown species of the coffea plant that produce the coffee beans used to make the coffee that the world’s population consumes, are Robusta and Arabica. Gourmet coffee is made from the top tier coffee beans from the arabica coffea plant. These top tier arabica coffea plants are typically grown at very high altitudes (above 3000ft) with ideal soil and climate conditions. The coffee beans produced have fuller flavors, are more aromatic, and have less caffeine in them than other varieties of coffee beans such as Robustas. The coffee beans of arabica coffea plants grown at lower altitudes are still noted among consumers as having richer flavors than the flavors produced by Robusta coffee beans, but it is only the top tier arabica coffee beans that are considered to be Gourmet, and thereby from which gourmet coffee is derived.

Coffee bean grounds and coffee beans that have not been grinded down need to be stored in air-tight containers and kept cool in order to protect them from losing their flavor. The containers that coffee is typically sold in are not the most ideal for storing coffee for a long period of time. When you arrive home after purchasing coffee grounds at the store, consider transferring the fresh coffee grounds to appropriate storage containers to extend its shelf life and full flavor.

Coffee can be brewed in many ways such as boiling, pressuring, and steeping. Most of us brew our coffee using automatic coffee brewing machines and percolators which use gravity to pull hot water through coffee grounds where the hot water mixed with the oils and essences of the coffee grounds empties into a liquid holding container below. Filters are used to keep coffee granules from being emptied into the carafe or liquid holding container from which the brewed coffee can then be served from because most people do not want to drink the coffee granules. Coffee granules can be very bitter once the flavor able oils and essences have been removed through the brewing process. Plants and flowers love coffee grounds though for anybody who is looking for a greener alternative of what to do with coffee grounds after brewing instead of just throwing them in the trash.

Of course, Gourmet coffee beans are only the beginning to creating a truly gourmet coffee experience for many gourmet coffee drinkers. Some people are quite content with drinking their gourmet coffee black, without adding anything like milk, creamer, sugar or other sweeteners or flavorings, to their coffee. While many others want to enhance their gourmet coffee and drinking experience with tasty additions like milk that is whipped into a froth, sweeteners, and mixing in other flavors like chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, and mint, to name just a few. Big name coffee chains sell a wide variety of gourmet coffee with different tasty additions and flavors to appeal to gourmet coffee lovers. However, brewing gourmet coffee at home is usually much cheaper, and you can add what you want to your coffee to satisfy your refined, gourmet tastes.

Senseo Coffee Maker The New Breed Coffee Machine

Edit Article |

From the makers of Philips and Douwe Egberts’ coffee roasters comes a new breed of brewing systems. The Senseo coffee makers had been technologically crafted with 
modern smooth layout and slim figure.

The Senseo coffee maker is a modernly sleek silhouette that does not look additional like a traditional brewer. In reality, offered the visual home, it similarly looks like a 
traditional cannister inside your kitchen table.

It features a cylindrical upright form curving towards the person. Choosing from 4 distinctive traditional colors- black, white, blue and red- this sophisticated contemporary 
sleek layout is very a coordinate in your kitchen.

Like any other items, Senseo machines has three primary attributes- ostentatiously fashionable, revolutionary coffee pods along with a basic person interface.

Senseo line of coffee machines are all single serve brewing system. Each and every time a newer sequence is introduced, nicely needless to say, new functions are also 
extra in. A nicer news about the system is always that you are not restricted to use only with Philips and Douwe products. It is possible to in fact acquire coffee pods designed 
for the Senseo system and fill them with your favorite blend.

The mechanics of Senseo coffee machines brews coffee at a touch of a button pushing the previous drip machines in to the junk pile. Originally, the coffee brewing program 
are correctly balanced to deliver the best cup of pre-dosed coffee unique for every particular person. Brews a cup or two of gourmet coffee with the use on the coffee pods in 
the touch of a button in much less than a minute, this convenient machine provides you no worries with automobile shut off program following an hour of dormancy. With 
dishwasher secure removable components, cleaning up is straightforward.

The Senseo Deluxe- HD7820 will be the prime of the range in Senseo New Era series, which was introduced in 2007. Addressing the principal consumer complaints of an 
intractable spout from Unique Senseo series, this New Era Senseo Deluxe single serve coffee gourmet maker HD7820 continues to be corrected and added with a capability 
to brew cappuccino and tea.

The most recent member of Senseo coffee machines is the HD7860 series, also referred to as Senseo Quadrante was launched in September 2009. Leaving the traditional 
Senseo style, it adopts the well-known house design of coffee makers. Readily available in European marketplace featuring smooth new styling and all the preferred 
characteristics in the traditional Senseo, this new style statement definitely helps make a difference. Molded by heavy-duty plastic in curved edges, the HD7860 series’ techno 
lines fit just appropriate in any modern day kitchen.

Among the adjustments on the Quadrante model is the greater program of temperature regulation making a steaming hot scrumptious cup of coffee or tea. With a shorter 
h2o container that holds 1.2L of h2o, refilling inside a short sink is much more handy. The three-buttoned controls are situated on the leading with the machine. Other 
features are peak adjustable drip tray along with a shorter auto off program than the traditional Senseo types.

In the event you go to cappuccino, then go for Senseo Latte Choose, which includes a milk tank that piggy-backs around the machine. In addition to that, the milk tank is 
detachable for refrigeration to prevent spoilage of milk.

As I was heading via with Senseo coffee maker critiques, each coffee enthusiast’s requirements is diverse from your other coffeeholic’s. The pros of one is the cons from the 
other. And vice versa.

Majority of the Senseo coffee maker critiques comment around the fact that coffee pods are a lot expensive. But let’s encounter it. Thinking about that you don’t brew a pot 
of coffee for a consumption of one or two that just go to waste after, then that is also acknowledged as economical by some reviewers.

What’s peaceful with one is really a bit louder using the other. Or what is distasteful to him may be wealthy for you. It is just a matter of private selection. Most detrimental 
critiques are genuinely private taste issues that probably with just a little adventure on cupping and coping with pods, these might be resolved.

I reckon that you may have read it often before: coffee just isn’t healthy and you ought to consume it moderately. Very well, anything isn’t that bad it’s not good for absolutely nothing, right? Thus here are some justifications for us that just simply give in to taking pleasure in a pleasant cup of coffee.

Coffee is among the most in-demand drinks globally additionally, the coffee beans are the second largest trading product all over the world. Coffee, as everyone knows, includes caffeine which is a substance that are known for getting us a little bit boost or ‘kick’. The particular coffee beans contain several chemical compounds that have an impact on our body. A lot of them provides moderate phsycotropics affect and is in reality a defense substance for the coffee plant. In addition, caffeine researchers have additionally found another substance which enable you body make more adrenaline and cortisone.

An investigation completed in Finland demonstrates at consumption of 3 to 6 cups of coffee on a daily basis reduces the chance of diabetes with about 25 %. Several other research has also proven that coffee lower the chance of diabetes type 2.

Studies have also revealed that reasonable drinking of coffee decreases the chance of Alzheimer and dementia. Harvard School of Health likewise did a survey that established that coffee as well diminished the chance of gallbladder illness and gallstone. It’s also confirmed that you’ve much less possibility getting Parkinson’s condition because it’s confirmed that people with high intake of coffee has a smaller amount risk of having this illness.

According to Iowa women’s health research claims that coffee with a drinking of four to five cups of coffee each day can lessen the chance of heart attack. On the other hand, various other numerous studies have not noticed just about any connection with drinking coffee and decrease the chance of heart attack.

It is also established that coffee will increase your mental performance. Researchers have tested response time, time in decision making, tests associated with visual understanding of spatial relationships between objects. Coffee may also in certain circumstances decrease migraine pain and diabetes. It’s also known for lower the risk of cancer in the gullet. Test has also demonstrated that coffee can aid in reducing the development of podagra.

Coffee includes many minerals including chlorogenic acid and tocopherols and magnesium. All of them have which may get better blood insulin sensitivity and carbs and glucose metabolic process.

Now, before you begin drink a lot of coffee there are safety measures you need to understand. Normal coffee or decaffeinated coffee has a relaxing effect on the muscle mass that can stop acid going up in your throat. So if you experience acid reflux or reflux illness you ought to be cautious. It is research that it’s unnecessary to totally avoid coffee for pregnant women. However, it’s recommended to restrict drinking coffee till more studies can offer proof of the outcomes for the baby.

So, taking pleasure in a cupful of coffee occasionally seriously isn’t as bad as most people consider. Even so, keep your intake in reasonable use. I mentioned the benefits here, but that doesn’t imply you now can go wild and consume coffee constantly. A great balance in drinking coffee continue to implement.

The Chicory is rich in minerals and vitamins which produces a tonic and a diuretic effect. Generally the roots of the chicory plant are thick and long to use it as a coffee substitute. At first these chicory roots are dried well. Then later, they are roasted and then grounded. This grounded chicory powder can be used instead of the coffee powder which has more caffeine content in it. The chicory coffee contains a roasted flavor.

Benefits of Chicory:

The important advantage of using the chicory is that, a very less quantity is enough to make several cups of coffee and the chicory is more water soluble than the regular coffee.

You can obtain many health benefits by using the chicory coffee. Thus by adding some chicory to your daily diet, so that you can obtain more benefits to avoid the unwanted caffeine content.

Then you can have the same with the salads, tea or use it as a coffee substitute. The regular intake is believed to soothe and calm the stressful persons.

It is also used to improve the liver, cleanse the blood and can cure most of the digestive ailments such as constipation and diarrhea.

Nowadays, there are many chicory coffee brands available in the market which offers the different types of blends and flavors.

Chicory coffee recipe:

The chicory coffee recipe can be easily prepared and it includes some important steps to be followed.

I need to explain now before starting roasting coffee that only by using this guideline which involves color on roasted coffee coffee beans is not very sufficient enough to make coffee roast of your own. There are several other factors that’s involved.

Next, I want to let you know that the development coffee coffee beans go through when roasting them are usually separated up into many grades or stages you might call it. One of the best degree of coffee roast I would say is once the coffee coffee beans nonetheless keeps exactly the same aroma and uniqueness when it was as green, fresh coffee coffee beans. Nonetheless, this is a stability relating to the original aroma along with the roast coffee. Specifically in a dark roast coffee the aroma out of the origin natural coffee coffee beans turn out to be secondary to the origin green coffee. In case the coffee is very dark roasted this doesn’t happen really matter what the origin from the coffee tastes like, it would taste similar anyway. Determining the best roast for your coffee is focused on testing and researching, but in the list below I will show you a guideline how the coffee beans undergo the various stages of roasting.

Be aware of that each roasting equipment operates in different ways and may use different time for them to change from one level to the other. So, it can be essential that you keep watch over the color on the coffee coffee beans also.

Degrees of roast, temperatures and texture

* Green unroasted :00 – 75 f/24 C

Here is the level just before we place them in to roasting. The bean is green, or seed which it is. This really is after the soaked procedure and the color of the coffee bean is normally white.

* Starting to pale 4:00 min – 270 f/132 C

Should you use a drum roaster due to this procedure you might need to bear in mind that it takes more time time to warm up the coffee beans in comparison with an air roaster. An air roaster is a lot better and therefore the overall heating up process can be carried out in about a couple of min.

* Early yellow phase 6:00 minutes – 327 f/163 C

As of this degree the beans continue to reducing water by steam however you won’t notice any indication that the coffee beans growing in proportion. This is also the phase where initially you can expect to notice the roasting and during this period you will probably start to see the very first crack in the beans.

* Yellow-Tan phase 6:30 min – 345 f/174 C

As of this grade the coffee beans turn darker and the surface should have dark and light brown surface. It’ll continue to lose water and today you’ll smell the 1st phase of roast coffee which actually smells like bread.

* Light Brownish phase 8:00 min – 370 f/188 C

The bean will now be starting to increase within the central crack and it also is losing some silver color skin covering the bean.

* Brownish Phase 9:00 min – 393 f/200 C

At the brown stage the bean has color drastically to dark brown color because of the browning of the sugar in the coffee bean.

* Very first crack begins 9:20 min – 401 f/205 C

Only at that stage the first popping sound could be noticed and this is the indication that the first crack has started.

* First crack under way 10:00 min – 415 f/213 C

At this time the first crack continues, the color of the bean will look uneven and mottled. Also at this degree the bean starts to increase in size since the crack increase.

* Very first crack is finished 10:40 min – 426 f/219 C

Only at that degree the very first crack is done and also the bean has come to the stage called City Roast. The surface is nearly even throughout nevertheless it continues to have a few darker spots therefore the edges continue to be hard. By now the beans start to release carbon dioxide.

* City 11:05 min 435 f/224 C

As of this period the coffee bean has complete the very first crack therefore the surface begins to look more even. The time period in between this phase and this period is very quick simply 15-30 secs, but many of things are happening during this time. The heat from the coffee bean actually starts to climb as well as the bean starts to fracture so this means it has reached its 2nd crack.

* Complete City 11:30 minutes – 444 f/229 C

Currently, the coffee beans has achieved the level of Full city roast, therefore it’s in the beginning on the second crack. In case you are a novice with this it may not be simple to figure out at what level it’s, but once you try a few times you’re going to get used to it. The surface of the bean has a coating of oil as well as the edges are much softer.

* Full City 11:50 min – 454 f/234 C

Once you notice the 2nd snap of the second crack means that it has reached Full City and roast degree. If you cool off the beans at this phase the most effective would be to cool it down instantly due to the fact you then will much better stop the roasting at the phase you need.

* Vienna, Mild French 12:15 min – 465 f/240 C

As soon as the 2nd crack is taken place it indicates it is at the Vienna degree, a mild French roast. This stage can also be known as Continental. This is also the phase when roast character is taking over the origin character. It is because the carbon roast flavors have taken over. On the other hand, a few coffee beans taste great once they achieved this degree.

* Complete French 12:40 minutes – 474 f/245 C

From this degree and further the coffee beans have exceeded the period of being completely ready and suitable for utilizing the coffee roast as ground coffee. The beans are burned and the flavor elements, oils and soluble solids are appearing out of the beans as smoke. Only at that level the temperature is at 474 f/245 C which is far over what’s encouraged temperature and that is 465 f/240 C.

Remember that this phase just normally takes 30 sec and so the change is extremely significantly. If you purchase

It is a pity that coffee does not get the credit and the attention it deserves. Coffee tends to get bad press and focus on negative effects of caffeine and we generally underestimate the importance of coffee in our life. Coffee is seen just as a drink, but it actually provides countless health benefits. Coffee may not be in the prescription by a physician. But nevertheless it plays a significant role in ensuring a healthy life for us.

People love coffee. They start their daily routine with a steaming cup of coffee in the early morning. But it is a question whether they really realize the benefits of coffee as a health drink. Coffee stops headache. It boosts your mood. These are the good things about coffee that all of us know. But there are more than what eyes meet in coffee matters.

If you drink six cups of caffeinated coffee daily, risk of diabetes is reduced by a whopping 50%.

• Coffee may help ward off asthma. Coffee eases out the nasal passages and improves airflow.

• Coffee contains antioxidants that fight against viral infection. One cup of coffee contains more antioxidants than one cup of grape juice!

• Coffee contains chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and protocatechnic acid. These chemicals show excellent antibacterial effects.

They can reach a state where seems impossible for them to function in life without a cup of their favorite coffee and its likable bitter taste. If you make drinking coffee a regular habit, it certainly presents you numerous benefits like improved mood, enhanced performance, and reduction of risks of a lot of diseases including cancer. But what if you cannot drink your coffee at the usual time you take it? You may suffer from a headache. Fatigue reaches you. You feel restless. Your mood becomes dull. Your performance gets affected. If you regularly consume a large amount of coffee and stop drinking it suddenly you may suffer the withdrawal symptoms of caffeine addiction. This results in more adverse effects. Your blood sugar level becomes imbalanced. Your blood pressure gets affected. You may become easily impatient and get easily stressed. If you find this happening to you it is advisable to reduce your regular coffee intake and ease yourself out of your strong caffeine addiction. Limiting your daily intake will reduce your dependence on caffeine.

Though coffee has its own list of health benefits, like anything else, it should be taken only in moderation. Too much coffee has its own downside. So drink your cup of coffee, but only in a moderate amount to ensure a healthy you.

For most people, the day will not start right without a cup of strong hot coffee. In fact, the day does not start without the smell of fresh roasted coffee beans in the percolator, simmering and brewing to make that drink that will give you just enough adrenalin to jumpstart your day. But how does one achieve it at home? It is always cheaper to roast your own beans at home instead of jumping in the car and dashing to the nearest coffee shop. You usually get yourself a designer coffee which you could have made in the comforts of your own kitchen. Below are the steps in achieving fresh roasted beans at home.

First of all, pick the type of unroasted beans that you like from the market or from your local coffee shop. A pound of it can cost you roughly around – depending on the brand and quality of the coffee bean. The better the quality, the more expensive the coffee will be. After you have made your choice, it is now time to start the roasting process. Remember that to perfect roasted beans you must be very meticulous with the process. When roasting, learn to listen to the beans.

The way the beans crackle under the grinder or roaster will be very important as your roasting process proceeds. The first few cracks will go on for a couple of minutes and then start to taper. The longer you let the beans keep on roasting and cracking, the darker they become. You do not want to keep them long in this state however in order for their quality not to be ruined. Listen for the doneness of the cracking of your beans very closely so you achieve the fresh roasted flavor that you are looking for.

Another good indicator of roasted beans would be its color. When roasting your beans, do make sure to also check for the color it turns to. During the first few minutes and the first signs of cracklings of your coffee beans, they will turn a light shade of yellow. As time passes and the second phase of cracklings begin, the coffee beans turn a dark shade of brown and oil is released.

Do not let the beans stay too long in the roaster so that you are able to achieve fresh roasted beans. Listening and checking the color of your beans at the same time will greatly help you in getting the results that you want. If this will be your first time to roast your beans, it may take some practice but you will surely get the hang of it after some time.

Do monitor your roasting so that the next time that you plan to roast your own coffee beans again, you know which style works best. Remember that for each type of coffee bean, the roasting process is also different. What may work best for one coffee bean may not necessarily work the same for the other coffee bean. To keep it more organized, try to keep a roasting logbook for each coffee bean that you plan to try.
