any of us remember hearing as children a quote that is most often attributed to Sir Isaac Newton; “what goes up, must come down…” Newton may not have said those very words, but his simple premise should be enough to debunk the black magic involved with this gravity defying coffee maker by Lina Fischer.

Famous Coffee Quote

The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce.

Does Caffeine Boost Athletic Performance?
Courtesy Timesdaily.com

Caffeine is the one compound with good scientific evidence to support its use as an athletic-performance enhancer. Taken in moderate doses, it's relatively safe. Caffeine is the only substance for which the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has set an acceptable level on urine samples, less than 12 micrograms per milliliter. A higher amount will bar an athlete from competition.

Coffee Appreciation 101
Know More, Enjoy More!

The appreciation for coffee is not unlike an appreciation for wine--the more you know, the more your experience is enhanced. There are four main elements one may notice when drinking coffee. An excellent blend will exhibit all four characteristics and bring them to the taster in a pleasing and well-balanced combination.

Our flavored coffees also exhibit these coffee characteristics--culminating in a complex taste profile. We use a lighter roast for our flavored coffees to create the perfect balance of flavor and coffee character.

Coffee and Hydration – the Facts
Courtesy positivelycoffee.org

Somewhere in the world today it is a hot sunny day, and amongst all the warnings we are given about the consequences of such heat, there is always one about not becoming dehydrated.

The caffeine in coffee has a mild diuretic effect, increasing the frequency of urination but not the amount of fluid passed. For many years health and exercise experts thought that, as a consequence, coffee and other caffeinated beverages promoted dehydration and didn't count as a source of fluid in the diet. We now know this is not true and there is no scientific evidence to support these views. Caffeine in fact is no more a diuretic than water.
