Ideal Coffee Temperature

Coffee never fails to give you a different kind of kick in the morning or a very effective pick-me-upper during crucial times. But a lot of coffee drinkers are after its taste and flavor, so you should not take for granted the proper way to prepare your cup, including the temperature to serve it at. How does the temperature have influence on the flavor profile, you may ask.

Just so you know, coffee is best served at temperatures of 70°C to 80°C or 155°F to 175°F. A lot of people opt for the higher temperatures. It’s actually way higher than the ideal temperature of coffee. Many coffee shops even suggest to their patrons to have their coffee at 180°F to 190°F. A lot of customers are complaining because of their coffee being too hot.

Simply put, one of the main reasons why you need to change your game plan in terms of coffee drinking is that your coffee is served at too high temperature. That said, the coffee oils evaporate quickly so the coffee tends to lose its flavor quality as well. These essential oils, by the way, give your coffee the flavor and aroma most people are rooting for. It’s basically suggested to have your cup of coffee at 175°F in order for you to get the best out of your coffee.

If your coffee beans have excellent quality, don’t waste it by serving it in a non-ideal temperature. The temperature of the coffee actually has a huge impact of the coffee you drink. People who don’t reside in America believe that American coffee temperature range is tad too low for their taste as they typically want their coffee way hotter.

However, your coffee should not be too cold either. By making sure your coffee is at the right temperature, the quality of the coffee beans used is not altered.

My best friend is pregnant, and she refuses to stop drinking caffeinated coffee?

Question by Lace: My best friend is pregnant, and she refuses to stop drinking caffeinated coffee?
My best friend is about five months along, and she is absolutely refusing to stop drinking coffee! She won’t switch to decaf because she “hates the taste and doesn’t get the same rush from caffeine in regular coffee.” She seriously drinks it with every meal, and the other day at lunch she drank espresso! Her husband has tried stopping her by getting rid of all the coffee in the house, but she just goes out and gets it. And obviously he can’t go with her everywhere she goes. She said she doesn’t care because coffee is her favorite thing and without it she feels lost. She just doesn’t care what it might do to the baby. She loves coffee too much. What should I do?! I’m seriously scared. She won’t even listen to doctors!
Also, could someone please tell me what harm this could do to her unborn baby if it continues?

Answer by tulip+baby

Well, researchers said that caffeine showed a link to a higher risk of miscarriage but, not all studies showed the same thing. Below are some excerpts from experts though, mind you I am pregnant and I still drink some caffeine and while I was pregnant with #2 I drank soda. Although, I limited it to once a day or every other day.. no more than 150 mg per day i.e. “Coke 12 oz. = 35 mg caffeine or (20 oz. = 58mg caffeine)” so that means I can drink at least 2 if I’d like.

Check this site for the amount of caffeine your friend is drinking.

http://www.cspinet.org/new/cafchart.htm

“There’s general agreement that pregnant women and those trying to conceive should avoid consuming large quantities of caffeine. But after decades of controversy and conflicting evidence, there’s still no real consensus on how much caffeine is safe during pregnancy.”

“The March of Dimes advises women to limit their caffeine intake to less than 200 mg per day. This recommendation was prompted by the results of a study published in the March 2008 issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, showing that moms-to-be who consumed 200 mg or more of caffeine a day had double the risk of miscarriage compared to those who had no caffeine.”

Are there other possible risks besides miscarriage?

“Yes. Because caffeine can cause blood vessels to constrict, it may reduce blood flow to the placenta. And because it easily crosses the placenta and reaches your baby (who then very slowly metabolizes it), caffeine may directly affect his developing cells.

A study in Denmark found that the risk of stillbirth more than doubled in women who drank a great deal of coffee per day — eight cups or more — compared with non-coffee drinkers. And some studies suggest that high levels of caffeine consumption by Mom may slightly reduce a baby’s birth weight, but other research has shown no association.

One study found a link between maternal caffeine consumption equal to three cups of coffee per day and an increased risk of having a son born with undescended testes. This happens when the testes don’t move from the pelvis into the scrotum as they usually do in late pregnancy.

Other research has shown that babies whose mothers consumed more than 500 mg of caffeine a day had faster heart rates and breathing rates and spent more time awake in the first few days after birth.”

Tiny Footprint Coffee Organic Dark Roast Ground Coffee, 16-Ounce Bags (Pack of 2) Reviews

Tiny Footprint Coffee Organic Dark Roast Ground Coffee, 16-Ounce Bags (Pack of 2)

Tiny Footprint Coffee Organic Dark Roast Ground Coffee, 16-Ounce Bags (Pack of 2)

Carbon Negative, Earth Positive. Tiny Footprint is a carbon negative coffee company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. When you buy a pound of Tiny Footprint Coffee, you are helping reforestation efforts by enabling us to plant native, carbon-guzzling saplings in the Mindo Cloud Forest, in Ecuador. These trees, like Alder and Balsa, along with over two-dozen additional species, are non-invasive and grown from local seed to guarantee the recreation of the cloud forest. Once planted, these trees will more than offset the carbon impact of growing, harvesting and shipping the coffee. In simple mathematical terms, it looks like this: planting, harvesting, shipping and roasting one pound of Tiny Footprint produces 4 lbs of carbon. For every pound of Tiny Footprint that’s purchased, we’ll plant enough trees to suck 54 lbs of carbon from the atmosphere. Resulting in a 50 lb net gain of carbon-guzzling goodness. In addition to removing carbon from the atmosphere, we’re also helping to protect dozens of bird species by restoring critical habitats through reforestation, improving the quality of local water tables and creating jobs in the areas in which we work. So there’s a lot of good in every bag of Tiny Footprint. Our 100% Arabica coffee beans are shade grown on small, rustic family-owned farms known for producing some of the finest coffee beans in the world. It’s here, in rugged, remote places like Timor, Sumatra and Ecuador that our beans begin their long journey from vine to coffee mug. Once harvested, the beans are roasted in small batches on a vintage, German-built “Probat” roaster. The result is a rich, full-bodied cup of coffee that lifts the morning fog like hot sun through a lush rainforest canopy. Check out our five blends to figure out which one you’d like in your cup.

Mobile Coffee

Whatever affair or celebration it is you’re throwing, the main thing to take into consideration is getting and keeping your guests entertained. There are times when business-inclined people host events as a part of their marketing strategy, to meet new people, or to run into business opportunities. That said, you can only meet your objectives if people who come over to your party are satisfied and happy.

There are different kinds of events being thrown by these business people, and more often than not, it depends on the type of industry you have and the people who are most likely be attending.

Among the priorities in arranging any type of event are the food and drink. Thus, you must make sure you only ask service from trusted catering facilities. If you’re not planning on offering food, at least have good supply of drinks.

If you are looking to hold an even in a cold environment, you wouldn’t want your guests to get chills because of the temperature. Have the decency to keep everyone warm with a hot cup of drink. This is where mobile coffee comes into the picture.

Reaching companies that offer mobile coffee options is generally trouble-free. Many of them provide an array of hot beverages to suit every discriminating palate. The event is all about making a good impression and impact on your guests. Suffice it to say, hire a coffee company that only offers top-of-the-line hot drinks instead of just opting for a good ol’ boring vending machine. By doing so, you are sure to have happy (and warm) guests.

Drinks are just among the many factors to consider in holding such events. You can always ask for some advice from people around you and those that you know are experienced with this kind of stuff. Always put yourself in the shoes of the guests that are coming over, so you can imagine what it is that they’re looking for when going to such affairs. Collaborate with the mobile coffee company that offer excellent hot drinks and your event is sure to be remembered.

Q&A: How to make a perfect cup of coffee at home?

Question by murkle: How to make a perfect cup of coffee at home?
I love drinking gourmet coffee especially when it has cinnamon in it. I was wondering how to do it myself at home though?

Best answer:

Answer by raven
If you are making coffee in a press, then the secret is to make sure the water is not boiling hot. If the water is too hot then it turns the coffee bitter. Put a dash of cinnamon into the coffee grinds and mix. Always use whole beans (stored in an airtight container and well sealed for freshness) and grind as required.

You can do the same with a coffee machine but if you find the coffee is always slightly bitter then add a small dash of salt to the grinds instead of cinnamon(in the filter with your grinds) and sprinkle cinnamon on top of your coffee after you pour it. Also, put the cream into your coffee cup before you pour the coffee not after.

Hope this helps:)
