What are the benifits of drinking organic coffee?
Posted by: | Comments
Actually, many organic products do taste better. i.e., I do not like the thin taste of regular one-percent milk, but I enjoy fat-free organic milk.
Can I use instant coffee in a coffee machine?
Posted by: | CommentsWell I ran out of coffee beans and I can't get to the shops and I want coffee asap lol.
I want to make cappacino and the machine manual says don't use instant coffee.
Has anyone used instant coffee in a coffee machine? any good? and how?
they are totally different substances. Would you put water in a cars gas tank? it's the same thing. Instant is freeze dried coffee, regular coffee is the coffee beans roasted and ground up.
How to make a great cup of instant coffee?
Posted by: | CommentsI know that nothing beats the real thing, but are there any little tips to make that cup of instant coffee taste that much better?
1 Step One
Look for a good, rich dark roast. These have appeared on the shelves in recent years and escape the accusation many make against instant coffee that it is terribly weak. Many of these red label or dark roast varieties can taste quite close to the real thing.
2 Step Two
Use a generous amount. Instant coffee tastes more like "real" coffee the stronger it is, although it can also be bitter, because it is not fresh. Try making it strong and dressing it up a bit.
3 Step Three
Spice up your instant coffee with cinnamon, cardamom or syrups. This will mask the bitter flavor strong instant coffee may have sometimes. If you like sweet coffee, add more sugar.
4 Step Four
Boil milk instead of adding it cold. This is a good tip for making any type of coffee, but it is an especially good idea for instant coffee.
5 Step Five
Try Turkish coffee. If you feel up to it and don't mind dealing with the coffee grounds at the bottom of the glass, use Turkish coffee, which is the ultimate instant coffee of the Middle East. It is made by the glass, and while you have to wait for the grounds to settle to the bottom, it is a quick alternative to regular coffee.
6 Step Six
Pay more. If you like black coffee and prefer not to dress up cheaper varieties, then you should be prepared to pay a higher price for the best-tasting instant coffee. It is sometimes true that you get what you pay for.
Have drinking coffee -in moderation- more benefits or downfalls?
I'm not 100% sure on this one. There have been studies that show that coffee drinkers can have reduced incidence of Type 2 diabetes, and also that it can help boost metabolism and potentially help weight loss. Evidence of reducing diabetes seems also to be there for drinkers of caffeine free coffee, so it appears to be something other than caffeine that gives some of this benefit.
Of course, extracted elements of coffee may have similar effects, as coffee is a complex natural product, containing many different compounds. So, should extracts be taken instead, to get the same benefits? I don't think there have been enough randomised trials, done alongside the same conditions as medical drug tests. (Though I believe there have been hundreds of studies on coffee drinking and its effects). Tests upon caffeine have probably been the most widely covered, and caffeine is now easier to obtain as a supplement. It's been added to other medicines, including pain killers and for Parkinsons Disease, after promising results of improved effectiveness.
Other benefits show that it can help stop headaches, and also that the antioxidant benefits of it are also good - almost potentially making it a so called 'super food', for this alone.
In older age, it seems that coffee drinking can reduce the risk of Parkinsons Disease, (see note about caffeine above) so I'll probably still be drinking it when I get older. It also potentially has properties that discourage teeth cavities - very nice!
So, I'm a coffee drinker, and biased - but I think that the benefits of it are pretty strong. There are some people who are best to avoid it, and it's good, as you have done, to constantly monitor what experts say about it.
I respect Jason - above - though I feel he may be out of touch with information on the benefits of coffee: nutritionally you could get the basic elements from other foods, but it does seem that coffee has a certain little extra goodness to it.
Hope these thoughts help. Good luck - and health! Rob
