Enjoy a Cup of Coffee - and more
I am from the land of Benguet Coffee. Nearby the the land of Kalinga Coffee. Nearby is one source of Alamid Coffee. BUT I AM COFFEE BLIND. By that, I mean I have tasted instant coffee and a cup of alamid coffee, and I didn’t know the difference. Shame, shame, shame!
But it I still know a thing or two about coffee.
To preserve the quality of coffee, it is best to use a coffee maker. Cooking it with a kettle depreciates it greatly. Also, the ground coffee is still good for at least three times of preparation. Do not throw away the residue, it is good, organic fertilizer.
Coffee is best enjoyed without sugar, milk or cream. Others may protest - “but it is bitter!” I say, you want to drink coffee, then drink coffee. Good coffee tastes like heaven by itself. Yeah, well, many enjoy it with good creamer, too. Not a few put in lots of sugar too. But beware of diabetes.
I always hear coffee drinkers say that when they drink too much coffee, their heart palpitates, and they become nervous without reason. Hear ye, hear ye. I also heard that it is adulterated coffee that gives those effects. By adulterated, I mean it has already been infused with chemicals. An unadulterated coffee, pure, natural and organic coffee, will not give you those.
Studies say too that coffee is good antioxidant. It is also a good stimulant. Another study says it improves or sharpens the memory. This must be true, a very good friend, who consumes at least five cups of coffee a day, has just passed the bar exams.
