Does Coffee Have Any Antioxidant Benefits?


Before we get all excited over the recent news about coffee being our new antioxidant, we need to take a look at the entire picture. Is there truly a coffee antioxidant? If there is, how exactly is coffee an antioxidant? Does it become the antioxidant when it’s heated? Does the coffee antioxidant benefit everyone? Are there still dangers to drinking coffee? How much coffee is good for us and when does it become bad for us?

Brewed coffee contains many antioxidants and consumption of antioxidant-rich brewed coffee may inhibit diseases caused by oxidative damages. Antioxidants are said to be an inhibitor of certain types of diseases. However, coffee beans are not all a like. Not all coffee beans are of the same quality or even the same make up. Sort of like comparing tennis shoes (More...)

Coffee – As a Health Drink?


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 there are more than what eyes meet in coffee matters.

The Health Benefits of Coffee


From the desk of Dixie Rose:

This is going to come as a shock to a lot of people, but coffee is just loaded with health benefits. It is true! Because coffee tastes so good and provides so much pleasure to coffee lovers, it stands to reason that it would have to be unhealthy, like French fries or T-bone steak or a good cigar, right? Nope!

The Sumatra Coffees


In the past, the only known ways of processing coffee are by drying the coffee bean while still in the fruit (dry method) and by removing the fruit from the bean before it’s dried (washed or wet method). Sumatra coffee follows a modified process. After picking, the coffee skins are removed then they will be subjected to an overnight fermentation with the absence of water thus calling the procedure dry fermentation. Afterwards, they will be washed in water to remove the pulp and then set for drying. (In a nutshell, Sumatra coffee undergoes the two procedures.) However, not all pulp can be removed by mere scrubbing giving the coffee a ferment taste.

Buying Bulk Coffee


From the desk of Dixie Rose:

Remember the old movie, “Cheaper by the Dozen”? The point was that quantity cut costs. Well, there are other “points” made in the movie of course, but you get my drift here. The fact is that you can save money by buying almost everything in larger quantities.

There is a good reason why this is true. Packaging costs decrease, transportation costs decrease, and handling costs decrease, so larger quantities of almost anything can be sold for a smaller unit cost than smaller quantities of the same item. And coffee is no exception to the rule.

The secret of buying in bulk and making it cost-effective is that you must store bulk coffee in an airtight container. Air is what degrades coffee, whether the coffee is in a whole bean form (More...)
