Virtual Coffee: Feature Articles (#)
„The second most widely consumed beverage after water provides comfort, taste, and solace to those who drink it. A certain mystique surrounds the beverage, and new innovations in its preparation bring the coffee industry new customers every day. But the consumption of coffee goes well beyond the latest innovation or the most recent crop. In fact, there is a direct correlation between those who drink coffee at the local café today and the women who met and socialized at the well where they collected water hundreds of years ago.“

„A 2002 review came to three conclusions about effects of caffeine on sleep (11). “First, large amounts of caffeine (e.g. over 3 mg/kg body weight in a single beverage) consumed in the late evening will prevent individuals from going to sleep and reduce sleep duration. Effects of smaller doses show large individual variation, with high consumers being more resistant to effects of caffeine on sleep.“

„ The straight shot is the foundation of every espresso beverage, and it is the most commonly consumed coffee beverage in Italy. The straight shot is the only true way to judge the quality and consistency of a blend of espresso coffee. A good coffee, when extracted as a straight shot, will produce a smooth yet complex taste, providing a satisfying experience. The volume, extraction time, and golden crema (a dense golden brown layer of frothed coffee oils that float on top of a properly extracted espresso) are the keys to good espresso.“

Before There Was Tea, There Was Coffee (INeedCoffee.com)
„For almost 100 years, coffee was the hot beverage of choice in England, and, unlike the English family’s tea of the last 200 years, it was not consumed at the breakfast table or indeed at any other time or place in the home. Instead, from about the mid-1600s through the mid-1700s, men (and just about all pictures from the period show only men in coffeehouses) drank their coffee in London’s coffeehouses while they transacted business, discussed politics, and shared literary works in progress. By 1700, there were probably over 2000 coffeehouses in London, or one for every 300 inhabitants.“
