  „The findings are published in the latest issue of the medical journal Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. But a spokeswoman from the Arthritis Research Campaign said: "When you consider that rheumatoid arthritis is a complex disease with a large genetic element, and that environmental and genetic factors interact to play a part in its development, to link the disease with coffee consumption is rather simplistic." A spokesman from the Coffee News Information Service, which represents the coffee industry, said the study had shown an association but not a cause and effect relationship. "Most importantly when the data was collected 20 years ago, very strong boiled coffee was heavily consumed in Scandinavia, and does not represent normal UK consumption, which is primarily of the instant variety. "Coffee drinkers should rest assured that coffee consumption in moderation is perfectly safe."“

  „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.“

  „"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.“
