BBC News | HEALTH | Caffeine 'reduces productivity' (#)
„The average cup of coffee contains about 100mg of caffeine. Of 1,000 office workers surveyed for Volvic mineral water, 76% said they drank tea, coffee or caffeinated cola more than three times during the working day, with one in 20 consuming more than 10 drinks. Stress specialist Dr David Lewis, who analysed the research for Volvic, is calling for traditional morning and afternoon breaks to be scrapped. Toilet visits He said: "Our clinical research found that a high caffeine intake (more than 350mg during the working day) acts as a powerful diuretic and causes people to visit the toilet more frequently, which can lead to performance-zapping dehydration.“

BBC - Coventry and Warwickshire Features - Perfect festive wine
„"It needs to be kept airtight then you can pour it off through a coffee filter - you can't make a mistake, just do it," he said.You can't keep it in a decanter for too long, just one week means it loses a lot of its flavour complexities, so you do really need to have a decent amount of people around.Even though Christmas is now dominated by cream liquers after dinner, Phil urged that whisky should not be forgotten - and there are few things better than a decent single malt.As an after dinner malt, Laphroaig is a top selection (and a nice present, if the family are reading), which starts at £22, and The Glenrothes is another excellent Scotch - the 1989 bottle is particularly recommended.“

BBC NEWS | Health | Caffeine 'does not raise blood pressure'
„He said further research was needed before people with blood pressure problems were advised not to drink decaffeinated coffee. Professor Bryan Williams, of the Blood Pressure Association, said the study was small and inconclusive. He said: "Recommendations to reduce or cease coffee consumption in people with hypertension would not be appropriate as it would not make a major impact on blood pressure." Dr Simon Thom of St Mary's Hospital in London said coffee had a small effect on blood pressure compared to other foods like salt.“

BBC - Mid Wales Food - The Mecca Cafe
„There's a wonderful aroma as you enter, and too much choice on the menu. Try a ristretto for that buzzing caffeinated feeling. If you don't like coffee, they do a selection of tea, cake, smoothies, fruit juices and sandwiches, all of which are good.“

„It's difficult to suggest a safe limit for coffee intake because of the huge variation in caffeine content of different brands and in individual's sensitivity to the drug. However, it is advised that people with high blood pressure and pregnant women limit their caffeine consumption.“

BBC News | SCI/TECH | Coffee crisis in Ethiopia
„He said Ethiopian government plans to protect three forest fragments have foundered for lack of cash. Arabica beans are so widely used they are the most valuable international commodity after oil. Most of the coffee is grown on plantations outside Ethiopia from a handful of cultivated varieties created from a few individual bushes. But these plantations are at risk from disease, such as the coffee rust that hit Brazil in the 1970s.“
