For coffee lovers!
How to brew great coffee at Home??
There are 4 critical things to brewing great coffee. They are
1) Proportion
Accurate measurement is the most important step in brewing good coffee. As a general rule, use 10 grams (2 rounded tablespoons) of ground coffee for each 6 ounces of water (0.17 liters).
2) Grind
It is important to use the right grind for your coffee maker. The length of brewing cycle and type of machine will determine the approximate grind. Too fine a grind or too long a brew time will make the coffee bitterness due to over-extraction. Too coarse a grind or too less brew time produces watery coffee.
3) Water
Coffee flavour is greatly influenced by the water that is used. If tap water has any unpleasant taste, it will be transferred to the coffee, so use of filtered or purified cold water heated to just off boil(195-205 F/91-96 C) is recommended.
4) Freshness
For best results, make your coffee fresh each time you serve it. Coffee can be kept warm over a burner for about 20 minutes before the flavour is affected. The principle cause of flavor loss after brewing is continuous heating. Once brewed, coffee held in uncovered, heated containers (a glass pot on a warming burner like in most gas stations!!) will retain optimal freshness for no longer than 20 to 30 minutes. Continuous heat will break apart the organic materials, and the coffee will develop a sour or bitter taste with smoky overtones. Heat will evaporate the water, condensing and cooking the flavoring compounds that remain.
Thermal containers are a better way to hold coffee. They are insulated and airtight, preventing evaporation, and will retain the aromatic compounds of the coffee. Because the coffee is not subjected to continuous heating, the coffee can be held for as long as 45 minutes before flavor characteristics will begin to change and dissipate. If your brewing equipment cannot brew directly into a thermal pot, immediately transfer the brewed coffee to a thermal container.
How do I know this? well folks for the benefit perpetually broke coffee lovers like me who cant afford frequent visits to the nearby Starbucks cafe, i just tipped a starbucks waitress 10 bucks and convinced her to let me know the secret of starbucks coffee!! So all tipe mentioned above comes from the world's best coffee makers!!
As for me I just finished a grande cup of Starbucks coffee - Guatemala blend! Blew a freaking $11.60 hole in my wallet (Including the $10 tip to the waitress!!)

Hi
I am new to this spot. I found loads of useful information here. Please accept my little contribution towards community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you wish to know how to lose 10 lb in a calendar week, you are believably not seeing for a standard dieting and work out plan. You can lose weight with a standard diet and work out plan, However this requires a lot of time doing intensive cardio workouts and sticking to a strict diet. Here I will outline the right steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a calendar week.
1. Stay away from all deep-fried nutrients for the week
2. Drink an 8oz glass of grapefruit with breakfast every day. (this speeds up your metabolism)
3. Take average portions (stop taking when you are full)
4. If you are consuming 3 huge a meals a day, eat up 5-6 small meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
5. Aviod eating after 9 P.M.. Its good to eat before 9 P.M. so that our body gets proper time to burn calories before sleep.
6. Get plenty of sleep every night. Not having enough rest has been verified to be a leading factor to the body putting up excess fat.
7. Utilise a body/colon cleanse for the 7 days. This will get rid of excess fat stored around the stomach area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that makes you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
8. I reccomend you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is proven to work, and you can get a free trial.
9. For those people who wish to burn fat quickly, avoid intoxicant.

New here,
I'm just browsing sites for the kids of Haiti.
I'm doing this for a non-profit haiti group that gives their time to
building oppurtunities for the children in haiti. If anyone wants to give money then do so here:
[url=http://universallearningcentre.org]Donate to Haiti[/url] or Help Haiti
They provide children in Haiti a positive learning environment.
Yes, they're legitimate.
I greatly appreciate anyone's help
