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! Wrong! Coffee is actually good for you and it is just full of health benefits.

First, coffee has long been known to improve mental alertness and relieve the boredom of repetitious tasks, but that is not even a scratch on the surface of the health benefits that coffee provides.

Coffee has been proven to delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Those who are regular coffee drinkers are diagnosed (More...)

Espresso Coffee Machines


From the desk of Dixie Rose:
 
Those who love espresso coffee also love their espresso coffee makers. When you happen to overhear them discussing their espresso coffee makers, you would think they were debating the advantage one sports car has over another rather than coffee makers.There are espresso coffee machine owners who believe that nothing can possibly compare to the coffee that a manual espresso coffee maker brews. There are those who swear that only the semiautomatic variety will make really, REALLY good coffee. Then there are those who wouldn’t dream of owning anything other than a fully automatic espresso coffee maker. According to them, only the fully automatic espresso coffee maker can make perfect coffee every time. And so, the debate rages on!

The manual espresso coffee machine owners tell you (and anybody (More...)

Perfect Coffee


From the desk of Dixie Rose:
 
There was a fellow that I talked to not long ago that I hadn’t seen in a good many years. The first thing that he said to me was, “I remember a cup of coffee that I had at your house about eight years ago. It was the best cup of coffee that I have ever had in my life!” Of all the things that he could have said, that would have been my last guess. But that is exactly what he said.There are a few basics that go into making a perfect cup of coffee. First your coffee maker must be kept clean. Making coffee time after time after time without cleaning the coffee maker will make the coffee bitter. All coffee makers must be cleaned regularly (More...)

Perked Coffee


From the desk of Dixie Rose:
 
Today, just about every where you look, people are using the automatic drip coffee makers. You can hardly find a percolator on the shelves of your local discount department stores. Percolators may well be out of vogue, but there are still a few of us (me) who prefer the taste of percolated coffee and still use an electric percolator every single day (several times).Percolators have gotten to be rather expensive, too. I remember when I could buy a percolator for about ten bucks. Today, they cost closer to $90, and that is IF you can even find one.

It is just my opinion, of course, but perked coffee smells better. There is an aroma that can be enjoyed from a distant room early in the morning. A pot (More...)

Buying Gourmet Coffee


From the desk of Dixie Rose:
 
How many different kinds of coffee do you suppose are available around the world today? I don’t know, either, but there isn’t much doubt that hundreds of thousands would be a guess that was not far off the mark.

Just go look on the shelves of your local supermarket. My goodness! There are dozens of brands and several choices of roasts for each brand. There are coffees that are made especially for drip coffee makers. There are coffees that are prepackaged and ready to be put into coffee makers. There are single servings. It’s mind-boggling, and you haven’t even scratched the surface yet — the coffees on the shelves of your local supermarket aren’t even the gourmet coffees.!

To find the gourmet coffees, you will need to (More...)
