Buying Coffee Direct From The Source

Did you ever think how much you can save by buying coffee directly from the course instead of the supermarket? You can actually save significant amount of money especially when you buy in bulk, at least 10 to 15 pounds in a single purchase.

When buying from a supermarket, did it ever occur to you that those beans were ground months ago and have been sitting in shelves for a while already? Just by smelling it, you can expect that the flavor and quality is not as good as when it is bought fresh and direct from the distributor.

What kind of coffee do you usually buy? Dark and robust or light and mild? Do some research online about sellers of particular types of bean, contact the closest to you, and you can enjoy it fresh from the source. We all know that coffee’s flavor and quality is at its peak after being roasted.

You might not find sellers anywhere nearby, but you can have it shipped from elsewhere. It’s still better since you can immediately have it in even just a day.

Just keep in mind to not buy more than you can consume within a month since they tend to lose their flavor with time. If you think 10-25 pounds is too much for a one-month consumption, you can share an order with someone else, a friend, perhaps.

Coffee tastes best when brewed right after grinding it, so it is recommended to buy your beans whole and get yourself a good coffee grinder.

Heed these advices so you get to save money and savor the taste of fresh gourmet coffee direct from the source.

Enjoy High quality coffee on a budget PT 2

Enjoy High quality coffee on a budget PT 2

The roasting process is the most important thing to consider if he wants to enhance or even totally alter the flavor of the desired coffee. The focus of the gourmet coffee roasting is the bean itself. Regardless of the type of flavor one chooses to add during roasting. If he started in the first place with a low quality of bean then he can only expect to get a low-quality type of coffee.

Coffee and Relating To People

We all have our own reason why we go to work. We have plates to fill, mouths to feed, bills to pay, and the list goes on. Sometimes, even though we have so many passions in life that we want to pursue, we just have to put them on the back burner.

We go to work, wearing the long faces that we seem to have been plastering on our faces since week 1 of our adult lives. “How can I keep myself sane?” you mumble as you enter your cubicle. It’s another one of those boring days, you notice.

Then you see one of your colleagues headed to the coffee vending machine. You see it in his eyes, he’s as bored as you are. Actually, he seems to be a little irritated. You notice him squinting, and you approach him. You talk about the party you know he has been to last night. All of a sudden, you feel good. Then someone barges in, another one of your officemates. The three of you burst in laughter because of something that officemate of you blurted out. The point of this story?

Sharing coffee in the workplace is what makes most of us have at least a bearable day at work. There are even people who won’t drink coffee when alone in public. Coffee is something that brings us together, and brightens our day. Coffee alone can do that, of course, but toss in some conversation with friends and everything is better.

Every employer should know about this, so they could know just how significant putting coffee stations in the office is. Certainly, they cannot overlook the quality of the coffee they provide!

The Green Coffee Bean Hype

Green bean contains high level of Chlorogenic acid, a substance popular for weight loss. Once this chemical goes into the body, it compels your body to consume fat, and it speeds up metabolism.

Pros:

  • It speeds up the metabolism and compels the body to start consuming fat, hence the fast weight loss.
  • It can supposedly regulate the levels of blood sugar in the body.
  • It perks you up and gives you energy as it burns body fat.
  • You no longer have to starve yourself when you’re on a diet.

Cons:

  • You need at least 800mg of pure extract. Thus, you have to drink massive amounts of such coffee.
  • You cannot drink pure raw green beans.
  • It is only available in tables, capsules and pills.
  • Not good for pregnant women.

Those are just a few of the pros and cons of green coffee bean extract. It is said to be really effective; it was even featured on some television talk shows. A lot of people who are looking to shed some unwanted pounds have been raving about this product. Coffee lovers, nope, it’s not the cup of Joe that you drink in the morning, but I know this got your curiosity.

A Healthy diet plan along with exercise is always one’s best bet when it comes to losing weight and having that body you’ve been dying to have. However, with modern age and all its complexities come new innovative products, so we can never really avoid this kind of “quick fix”.

I’m not recommending it, nor am I telling you to avoid it. You be the judge. Tell me, are you willing to try this? Is it a yay or nay?
