A Nice Cuppa

The New York Daily News just released its list of the 10 coolest foodie gadgets of the moment.  I wouldn’t frown at receiving any of the great tools on this year’s list.  I would be absolutely thrilled to be gifte with item number six on the list, the Nespresso Le Cube C180.  Talk about a […]

Did I get your attention with the title?  Good!  This website sure got my attention when I found it today.  I’m talking about CoffeeAM.com, and no they did not contact me asking that I plug their site.  I wish, maybe then I would have gotten some free samples or at least a discount.  Even at […]

I steer clear of most flavored coffees, as the flavorings tend to greatly overpower the subtleties of a really good coffee.  However, on occasion, it’s nice to amp up flavors in your coffee just for a change of pace.  But, rather than buying flavored coffee, why not just make your own, in small batches that […]

A new study conducted by researchers at the University of  Florida shows that nearly all decaffeinated coffee contains some amount of caffeine.  So if  your morning cup still leaves you feeling a little buzzed chances are it’s not just your imagination.  The study tested the caffeine levels in 10 16-oz drip-brewed, decaf coffee beverages from […]
