Coffee Grinders


From the desk of Dixie Rose:Grinding one’s own coffee beans is quickly becoming a part of the American version of the coffee drinking experience. The choices for coffee grinders available for purchase is mind-boggling, so you really do need to know a few things about coffee grinders before you purchase one of your very own. The earliest version of coffee grinding was done with a bowl and a pestle. The beans were roasted first, then they were placed in a bowl and crushed or ground with a pestle. Then things got mechanized, and changed quickly when coffee grinders that were hand-cranked came into being. If you have ever watched old western movies, there is always a hand-cranked coffee grinder in the local general store.

 Then along came electricity, and things just got easier. The first electrified (More...)

Is Coffee Good or Bad for You?


From the desk of Dixie Rose:
 
The question of whether coffee is good for humans or bad for humans all depends upon which of the many reports, research papers, and studies that you choose to believe. There has been a great deal of research, but certainly no consensus of agreement on the subject.

 Some studies, reports, and research suggest that because coffee is a stimulant, and because it has been proven to be somewhat addictive, it is a bad thing. Coffee does increase the heart rate, but there has never been any proof of any kind that coffee contributes to heart disease or causes heart attacks. Coffee does stimulate the kidneys, but there has never been any proof that it contributes to kidney disease.

Automatic Coffee Maker Buying Tips


From the desk of Dixie Rose:
 
Ah, coffee! There really isn’t a more pleasant smell in the universe than the smell of freshly brewed coffee especially first thing in the morning. Almost everybody loves good coffee but the definitions of “good” coffee are as varied as the people who love it.

 The first thing that you need to decide about your new automatc coffee maker is what kind do you want. Do you want an automatic drip coffee maker or a percolator? (One drips water through coffee grounds, while the other forces heated water up a spout and over the coffee grounds.) (More...)

Kings, Queens, and the Coffee Bean


From the desk of Dixie Rose:
 
Tea was the drink of choice for most queens of old, while mead was the choice of kings. It wasn’t until early in the 15th century that coffee was even a choice in most of the civilized countries of the world. But once coffee became a choice, it quickly became first choice.

 The next time you are sipping a cup of coffee, you can remember that you are in very good company. Almost every American president has been a coffee drinker. The list of coffee lovers includes both the famous and the infamous.

Coffee is the most served beverage in America today. It is served at breakfast and dinner tables in homes all across this great country as well as in roadside cafes, the fanciest of restaurants, and (More...)
