Coffee

Is there such a thing as “Healthy Coffee”? What are the benefits of healthier coffee for your health?
In this article, I will cover some known facts about the standard unhealthy coffee. Then show you there is actually a healthier coffee available and what the benefits are when you start drinking this healthier coffee.

Some facts about Coffee
- Coffee is the second largest traded commodity in the world
- Second largest consumed product next to water being the number one.
- World wide, according to statistics from the International Coffee Organization, people drink about 1.4 billion cups of coffee a day. About 45 percent of it is consumed in the USA.

This is a huge industry and billions of dollars are being made every single day. Everyone knows ‘Star Bucks’ and ‘McDonalds (McCoffee)’. These two giant corporations sell coffee in many different flavors and they are not in the coffee business to make people more healthy. They knew the facts and created a billion dollar plus business, with billions of people world wide being addicted to coffee.

Why are people still drinking unhealthy coffee?
Simply because the caffeine has a stimulation effect on the body. The downside of this is you will need your fix on a regular basis.
Furthermore regular coffee:

* Dehydrates

* Is very acidic and toxic

* It raises blood pressure

* Your stress level increases

All the more reason to limit your daily coffee addiction or find a replacement.

Healthier Coffee
Being a heavy coffee drinker myself I hated instant coffee. This always had an after taste and did not even taste like the coffee I consumed on a daily basis. I know many of you can relate to having to have your morning cup of coffee in order to get your day started. I experienced stomach acid problems, did not get enough sleep and headaches which I all related back to the coffee I was drinking. A very good friend of mine let me taste a sample of what she called ‘Healthier Coffee’. It was instant coffee so yes I was a little bit skeptical, but I did drink it. The aroma and the coffee flavor was great! It tasted even better than my regular coffee brand.

After I discovered this healthier coffee, I did some research on it and found out that it hardly has any caffeine (superior brand of Arabica beans used). More importantly, it is infused with a herb called Ganoderma Lucidium, or red mushroom. This red mushroom has been used in China for over 4,000 years for medicinal purposes, also known as the ‘King of Herbs’. When you do some research on the internet, you will find many businesses who offer this healthier coffee, but only a few really use the power of the Ganoderma or Reishi (Japan) herb.

Healthy Coffee benefits
There has been extensive research to what effects this red mushroom has for your health, here is a list of what it can do for you and your body:

* It will give you more energy and reduce fatigue

* It will increase your brain activity

* Will make you feel young and refresh again

* Improves/boosts your immune system (good alternative for the swine flu too!)

* You will sleep better (For people who suffer from insomnia)

* Healthy weight loss (Instead of pills or other costly weight loss programs)

Conclusion
Regular coffee is not good for your health. In fact, it is damaging your body. So the choice is yours. If you would like to continue to enjoy the rich taste and aroma of gourmet coffee, then I suggest you switch to the healthier coffee with the herb extract in it.

Ganoderma Lucidium was exclusively used by the Chinese emperors for a reason! Compare all the health benefits from drinking healthier coffee versus regular coffee. You’ll be amazed with what it will do for you!

Being a heavy coffee drinker, I discovered the many benefits of drinking healthier coffee instead of regular coffee. I have created a website called The Healthy Coffee Club check it out and come on over to have a healthy cup of coffee and a nice chat! Live healthier!

Coffee roasters can make or break the flavors in coffee. Too much roasting can destroy the sought after flavor and aroma of coffee. And insufficient roasting will produce under developed and dull flavored coffee.

It takes a good coffee roaster and a keen eye to reach the optimum stage of roasting coffee beans. But these days, coffee roasting has been brought up to another level. Automatic roasters that come with built-in computers, monitoring devices, timers and other innovations, have made coffee roasting easier and faster.

Coffee roasters have chambers where the coffee beans are placed, a heat component, a tray for the roasted coffee beans and a stirring handle. Most roasters are electrically powered and can come in a variety of sizes.

Different Models of Coffee Roasters

There are 3 main types or models of roasters and each has its own unique way of roasting coffee beans.

Fluid Bed Coffee Roasters

This model roasts coffee beans by producing a bed of hot air. Fluid bed coffee roasters are also called high yield roasters because when coffee beans are roasted they expand and produce more ground coffee. But on the downside, this type of roaster produces coffee with lesser flavor.

Tabletop Coffee Roasters

This type of coffee roaster is generally difficult to find and may cost higher than the other models. You can add flavors to coffee beans that are being ground using a tabletop coffee roaster. And they are composed of small pans that can roast coffee beans on top of a gas burner or electric stove.

Drum Coffee Roasters

Drum roasters are more favorable since they can transfer even heat from the drum to the coffee beans; thus, giving a more rounded flavor to coffee. Drum coffee roasters have cylinders that hold the coffee beans while roasting.

To Roast Or Not To Roast…

Coffee roasters have interestingly invaded homes and manufacturers have developed models that are great for the home. But is it good to keep and use one at home?

Well, coffee roasting requires time to learn in order to achieve the eye for perfection. It takes time to also learn the roasting techniques in order to get even flavors from coffee beans.

If you do want to enjoy freshly roasted and ground coffee, you may always ask your local grocery shop to do the job for you. Your favorite specialty coffee shops may also offer these services.

Roasting coffee is not for everyone. If you have the patience and the passion for home-roasted coffee beans, you may opt to do the roasting yourself. On the other hand, you can always ask your retailer to do the job for you. Either way, there’s always a way to get the best flavor out of your coffee beans.

Peyton Hines has been drinking coffee for over 45 years. He had his first taste for coffee when he worked offshore and realized that the only “break” was a coffee break. Over the years his love for coffee continued to grow. Three years ago he started to investigate and educate himself about the numerous varieties and different types of coffee.
