Well I Didn’t Know THAT About Coffee
May cause death! Experts have determined that the components of a cup of coffee can be lethal in certain quantities so if you are able to knock back up to 100 cups in a row it could give you a fatal heart attack or some sort of seizure. However, consuming 100 cups of coffee is easier said than done as the actual amount of time it would take to drink 100 cups of coffee would dilute the effect and probably just keep you up all night.
A coffee a day keeps the doctor away! Due to the variety of components in coffee, including a selection of anti-oxidants, the drink can be beneficial to your body, most importantly the digestive system. It’s about the same amount as you might find in a cup of tea, a tin of beans or a bananas but drinking too much will obviously have opposite effects.
Coffee can be a pain killer! Studies have shown that a small influx of caffeine can stimulate the release of endorphins which can block the receptors of pain; this was shown to work in muscular pain from exercise but not in cases of inflicted pain.
There is caffeine in decaf! It’s only marginal but a small amount of caffeine actually exists in decaffeinated coffee. But don’t dump your evening cappuccino as you would have to consume up to 10 cups of decaf to get the amount in one cup of ordinary coffee.
Coffee will make you thin! Although high in stimulants and caffeine, coffee actually contains no calories, however if you are going to fill up on some full fat mocha lattes then don’t expect to lose weight.
Avoid wrinkles with coffee! Due to coffee containing anti-oxidants which are beneficial to the body many skin care ‘experts’ will offer you some sort of coffee-skin-service. In Japan you can cleanse in fermented pineapple pulp mixed with coffee beans even though there is no significant evidence to prove any of this.

Coffee In Your Cup?
There’s nothing better than the spell of coffee in the morning, as it is brewing. The aroma wafts through the house. It always makes a smile come to your face. You may lay in the bed and can almost taste that first sip. Just the right amount of sweetener or sugar and may be, just maybe a touch of cinnamon, or a little half and half to lighten it just a hair.
Maybe you just like it black, not too strong, but not so we ak you can see through it. Whatever your preference coffee is an acquired taste. You don’t just grow up and one day say, "I’m going to drink coffee." You may start drinking it, but you go through trial and error periods, deciding which flavors are the best. Do you like it strong? Maybe you like it flavored. Coffee can be bought in any flavor you want these days.
There are flavors such as hazelnut, vanilla nut, Swiss Almond Chocolate, southern pecan, or maybe you like Irish mint, or French Vanilla. There are so many flavors to choose from, some people cannot pick just one. And if flavors are not enough to choose your taste buds, you also have blends to pick from as well. There are breakfast blends, custom roast, dark roast, French roast, classic roast, and many more.
Not to confuse you any more but not only are the blends, specials roast and flavors, but you will find that every brand adds just enough of a twist to make a difference in the taste. Flogers breakfast blend will taste different from the breakfast blend you get from Starbucks. A French roast made by Mills brother will taste different than a French roast made by Maryland club.

Coffee & History
For most people coffee is a normal part of their daily routine that starts first thing in the morning. We take for granted that the coffee we love will be there for us. Most people have automatic coffee makers that are set to come on at a particular time of the morning and will then cut its self off. But do you really know how that coffee you can’t live got its start? Well let’s check it out.
Legend states that coffee beans were discovered by an Ethiopian goat herder after noticing a playful change in his goats after eating berries from a bush near by. Kaldi, the goat herder, tasted the berries himself and got caught up in the dance and secured the coffee market’s future. In the beginning coffee was eaten and not drank as it is today. It was mixed with animal fat and energy balls were form, something akin to our power bars of today.
