Put the paper filter in the coffee maker, put the right amount of coffee into it and press the start button. It never crosses my mind to rinse the paper filter. Not until one of my friends told me that she smells paper in my coffee. I never put any paper in the coffee and wonder how she gets the idea of paper smell. She told me that it might be due to the paper filter that I’m using. I never did taste or sense the difference until I did a test. I brew two cups of coffee using the same coffee beans, water and procedure. The only difference is using paper filter straight from the package and rinse the paper filter before adding the coffee. This way it actually tastes different. The best my sensor can tell is the odd extra smell from the coffee using paper filter directly. From that day onwards, I tend to rinse the paper filter with hot water first before making my coffee.kumowaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10866927636493681281noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35744369.post-66557411101495886772016-03-26T19:42:00.004-07:002016-03-26T19:42:52.255-07:00This is the kind of Website you should be getting for a coffee shop<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The check out the coffee shop <a href="http://www.thegrandcafe.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>The Grand Café</b></a> or shall I say the website of this coffee shop. Just for a few second going through the website I already have the intention to go visit the actual shop. In other words, this website has successfully persuaded me to visit the shop. Judging by the looks of it, it should be fairly expensive. But if the food and coffee taste great, I don’t mind paying it once in a while for an enjoyable moment. Especially if I’m trying to impress a special person of mine, this might just be the right café to check out. So if I’m planning to open a coffee shop or a café, I will try to create similar website for my shop. I suppose we call this branding.kumowaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10866927636493681281noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35744369.post-50741878178547332472016-03-23T22:21:00.001-07:002016-03-23T22:21:02.522-07:00How to brew the perfect cuppa?Check out the infographic on how to brew the perfect cuppa. I actually find this chart a simple explanation on how to get the cup of cuppa you want. You won’t find any secrets or special way but a normal regular way to brew cuppa. This infographic is for beginners and those who just starting to enjoy coffee.<br />

I kind of like this chart because it helps me to search and try out different types of coffee. One thing I don’t like about this chart is the wording might be too small. The links are also a bit difficult to track. Perhaps I should just save myself the trouble and just let the coffee shop prepare the coffee I want.<br />

Just by changing the amount of coffee mixing with milk will gives you several types of coffee. Again I still can’t remember their names. The coffee cup which comes along with the order too is different. At some coffee shop they even serve different types of coffee using different types of coffee cup. Unless you are having it to go with the same paper cup, the coffee cup presented on your table will be different. This is actually kind of interesting with each unique way of presentation. The problem that waitress will be facing is the amount of coffee pour into the cup and the ratio might be difficult to determine. Perhaps they can solve this problem by preparing all the coffee using the same coffee cup container before pouring into the cup for customer. It is actually a bit troublesome and causing more work for the waitress, but it can be a way to attract customers. Customers who come for coffee everyday will be wondering what kind of coffee cup they will be getting today. Check out the infographic below for the coffee espresso chart. I am currently trying to remember and memorize the names of the coffee espresso. Perhaps I should just copy this chart into my phone for reference.<br />

I just couldn’t match the image of the coffee with the names. They don’t even call it small or big but instead short or tall. I just wonder when height ever applied to liquid. If you don’t find it strange, perhaps you can try walk into a restaurant or a bar and try this.<br /><br />“Please give me a <span style="color: blue;">tall</span> cup of water.”<br />“I like a beer, <span style="color: blue;">tall</span>”<br />“I would like to have a cup of tea, <span style="color: blue;">short</span>”<br />“I’ll have the orange juice, <span style="color: blue;">doppio</span>”<br /><br />Just watch closely on how waitress react as they take your orders. Perhaps only those who visited a coffee shop understand exactly what you are trying to say.<br />kumowaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10866927636493681281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35744369.post-35678060740344823042016-03-17T07:33:00.000-07:002016-03-17T07:33:00.315-07:00Work begins from a slip of coffeeIt might be healthy to just drink pure simple water but that might be a bit dull. Before we start work for the day we tend to have coffee. After a day’s work we usually go for a drink. Don’t you think life is a bit boring to just have water before and after work?<br /><br />We begin our life by drinking water only. As we grow older we started to try and explore other drinks. Before we even notice how old we gotten, coffee has become part of our life or the way to start our work. How many of you still remember when is the first time that you take your first slip of coffee? When did you discover that your work is inconclusive without the present of coffee? <br />kumowaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10866927636493681281noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35744369.post-13607865050829935462016-03-16T02:34:00.000-07:002016-03-16T02:34:11.026-07:00The most expensive espresso machineHonestly I think most people don’t buy these expensive espresso machines unless you are super rich. Usually company or coffee shop is the ones who will be purchasing them. It serves not just an espresso machine to make coffee but also an attraction to gain more customers. At this point a bad espresso will not be allowed. The person who operates this espresso machine will not allow him or herself to brew a bad cup of espresso because it will just be a waste of having the espresso machine. If you happen to see similar espresso machine in a coffee shop, you might want to stop by for a cup of espresso. It is definitely worth a try. Remember to watch the process while they prepare your cup of espresso.<br />

It might be the cheapest espresso machine but we are still able to brew some nice cup of coffee. Of cause it will take come practice and skill to actually master the proper way to brew an espresso. Honestly, it is no doubt much easier to get the cup of espresso from a coffee shop, but you won’t be having much fun this way. Getting your own espresso machine means you get to play around with the gadgets. When you have mastered the equipment and able to make a nice cup of espresso, which means it is time to call your friends over and show them what you can do with it. Your espresso will taste better when you enjoy it with your friends who appreciate your hard work and skill of brewing a nice cup of espresso. Remember that it won’t be easy because espresso machine is not the only thing that you need to invest in order to get a nice cup of espresso.<br />

Unless you are able to stay awake and focus, you won’t need that caffeine. Occasionally you will encounter one of those days that you just can’t keep your eyes open. This is the time to get some coffee and hope that your boss won’t be asking what you did last night. Usually early morning before work is the best time to get a cup of coffee just in case your energy level is not sufficient enough to keep your awake and focus for the whole day work. But if you are the type of person who always has a cup of coffee every morning, sometimes a cup of coffee just might not enough.<br />

The <a href="https://authoritynutrition.com/top-13-evidence-based-health-benefits-of-coffee/" target="_blank">13 proven health benefits of coffee</a> from Authority Nutrition is the latest article which I found interesting. As much as I love coffee, having too much coffee will make my stomach uncomfortable. Although I do believe that drinking coffee does have some effect on our health, I just don’t see it directly. Perhaps it takes a longer time to see the effect. Below are the 13 statement listed in the article which come together with some questions and comments before and after I have my coffee. <br /><br /><span style="color: blue;">Coffee can improve energy levels and make you smarter.</span><br />I am still unable to solve my problems.<br />

When I’m resting, I choose to have something else rather than coffee. But sometimes I am still getting my regular coffee as usual when I’m not working. That means there are other important stuff which I need to attend to but not related to work. Surprisingly the coffee tastes differently on these days even if I’m getting the same coffee from the same coffee shop. I suppose the coffee taste better when I’m not working. Perhaps this is the only time that I can really enjoying my coffee. <br />

The coffee maker sure looks like some sort of bomb. I suppose the spikes are for decoration only. Will I get this coffee maker? I will unless I’m using it to show off instead of just making coffee. It will be nice to show it to my friends when I invited them over for a cup of coffee.<br />

The toilet coffee cup is actually an interesting design but the question of who wants to drink from a toilet cup often rings in my head. If you don’t think about it, perhaps you are still able to drink from the cup. Unfortunately human is very good when it comes to imagination. Especially if you had a very unpleasant experience in the toilet, you won’t be able to get that cup near your face.<br />

Coffee without caffeine is just not for me. I need coffee because I need something to keep me focus and stay awake when I’m working. If a cup of coffee in the morning can help to keep me productive for the rest of the day, so be it.<br />

Cash or money is what we are using currently. Back in the old days we use barter system, which is basically exchanging goods. Before currency is invented we are actually having difficulties in getting the things we need. When currency or money came out, we saw a lot of different types which evolved from vary material to represent currency or money. Lately the most interesting currency is bitcoin. This is one currency which did not mention if the infographic. I suppose it will take a longer time before people can actually accept bitcoin as a currency. But first bitcoin will have to survive as daily basic usage to exchange goods. Another idea or theory about currency is that perhaps maybe one day the world will be using only one type of currency. In other words, instead of having US dollar, Japan Yen and British pound, we will be using only one currency for all. The concept is basically the same as the launching of Euro currency which combining several currencies of Europe.<br />

Different environment and different situation makes the coffee taste different. At home you are relax and comfortable. The coffee will be much easier to consume. When you are at a coffee house, you will be a bit alert because you are not alone. Your sensor will be up to prepare for the things that might be happening in the coffee house. Indirectly you will be able to taste the coffee better. If You are waiting for a person while having your coffee, your mood and emotion will affect your taste of coffee. I'm not sure about this but coffee seems to taste differently when you are waiting for your lover compare to your boss. Test it yourself and find out if this is true or not.kumowaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10866927636493681281noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35744369.post-39956042869977922152016-03-02T19:16:00.000-08:002016-03-02T19:16:02.347-08:00Did you feel the difference before and after having your coffee?My personal experience is a boost to focus on my work after having my cup of coffee. Especially if you are feeling sleepy, tired and not in the mood to do anything, a cup of coffee can actually bring life and soul back to your body. Usually we won’t be able to see the changes or differences physically. Mostly it is the psychology effect. That means your speech, conversation, behavior and attitude will indicate a slight difference before and after having coffee. Especially if you are the kind of person which consume at least a cup of coffee every day, 2 days without coffee will make you a different person. In worst case scenario you might not know who you are after a week without coffee. You can say that coffee is a kind of drink which turns you into a super hero. Without coffee you will turn back into a regular ordinary person.kumowaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10866927636493681281noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35744369.post-30997810958939734612016-03-01T19:00:00.000-08:002016-03-01T19:00:00.742-08:00The idiot guide of smarter coffee drinkingWell, I’m not sure how to drink coffee the smarter way. All I know is that when I feel the need of coffee, I just have to get myself a cup of coffee fast. Depending on the taste of the coffee that I’m getting, it is going to affect my mood and working performance for that particular day. My life is seriously depending on the cup of coffee. Thus it is very important that I make sure that I get a nice cup of coffee.<br />

With the same amount of money that I’m going to pay for the coffee gadgets, I probably can get myself a lot of fine quality coffee for months. I am actually very impressed with the coffee mug, but I don’t think if I’m going to pay hundred dollars for a coffee mug. I understand that it is crucial to drink the coffee under the right temperature. I also know that it is very difficult to keep your favorite coffee within the right temperature for a long period of time. I will only consider buying this special coffee mug if I’m always on the go due to my job. I am the type of person who enjoys having coffee in the coffee shop. Perhaps it is because the window for drinking the coffee at the right temperature is short and limited, it makes me cherish the cup of coffee and try to capture the moment every single time.<br />

It basically says the coffee is served and ready for you to pick up. All you need to do is drive in. If smoke actually comes out from the coffee cup, it will make the design perfect. If I’m going to open up a coffee shop, I probably will consider getting a big size of coffee cup similar with this design. It should be sending the signal “We are brewing the coffee that you want. Come get it”<br />

I wonder if the man and woman post for the photo are actually able to maintain that position for the camera man to take the shot. The angle and color is just perfect. It looks simple but might not easy to produce such photo. It really does give a deep impression of coffee. Do you want to get a cup of coffee after watching this? I suppose there isn’t any coffee call White and Black coffee.<br />

If there is such a big sea of coffee, what will you do? Will you jump into the sea of coffee and drink as much coffee as you want? Will you swim around and check out how deep the sea of coffee? Will you take a bath in the sea of coffee? Perhaps you can try soaking your hair into the sea of coffee for the color and coffee smell. Or you can get a big tank and bring back as much coffee as you can for daily consumption. What else can you do with a sea of coffee? Build a coffee theme park?<br />

My guess is they already work it out using a computer and calculated the numbers of coffee cup required and the specific color of the coffee. Next is just prepared and arrange the coffee cup accordingly. The difficult part is how accurate you are able to follow the blue print. It is actually a work of art using coffee to create the Mona Lisa. I don’t suppose the coffee will taste good. Most of the coffee will be too cold to drink. At the end the coffee is good for a look but not for drink. A lot of milk is used for the white color.<br />

Honestly I have my doubts. But I’m pretty sure this is yet another great coffee equipment to show off to my friends, especially if I’m going to invite some of my friends who love to drink coffee. Brewing a nice cup of coffee already looks complicated and difficult. I’m not sure if I’m capable of roasting some nice coffee beans. If this continues on, I might be planting my own coffee tree. I think I probably want to spend my time, money and energy on drinking coffee rather than doing all the hard work.<br />
