Sites Like Coffeeforum.info Bring Warmth to the Heart of Coffee Drinkers
By admin
We earthlings are coffee people. In our appreciation of coffee, we rank with the world’s most serious drinkers: the Swedes, the Japanese, the Frisco kids. But for all our genuine love of coffee and cafes, we can’t match bona fide coffee towns in sheer variety of high-quality coffees on offer. If you are like most people, you want the news, gadgets and information abt how other people drink coffee as well. Do some web research, and fine a website that shares your values and tastes. Learn something new, make a new friend, find out about the latest teeth whitening for coffee drinkers, or just find that perfect coffee accessory for Christmas. Every year, millions of people have to go without coffee, or suffer through sub standard coffee.
The coffee comes from a coffee roaster out of Binghamton, NY. I had their Kenya AA (brewed on hot plate brewers…yucker), a mellow sweet blend that had potential but since it had been sitting, I couldn’t get at it. The espresso, though pulled a bit long (barista skills were half decent), had a nice acidity and smacked of cocoa, all with minimum char. The tea is free leaf.
While the coffee and espresso weren’t bad (could use a bit of improvement), I’m sure the convenience of the facility (and maybe the food too) probably really strengthen business. If you’re in the proximity, give Java’s a try.
One such well-placed coffeehouse is a rather large place called Java’s Cafe. The coffeehouse sits in what seems to be a rather nice part of the city adjacent to the Eastman Theatre. The outside of the cafe possesses a clean look with not much in outside seating at the time (since it was cold, they retracted it) and nice front windows. The interior gives the impression that the place once was a pub of sorts as it has a central counter, a large amount of dining space, and a downstairs complete with two billiards tables (mind you, beware of the steps needed to reach them; they’re a bit steep). And not only did the place prove full of character and local love, but they even have a lunch counter/deli and a whole wall dedicated to free leaf and Coffee off to the right of the shop.

Coffee with Legs – Chile
By admin
Aug 2007
Forget Starbucks. Chile’s coffee shops are more like strip joints. There businessmen are served their morning lattes by scantily clad girls. It’s unashamedly sexist and very, very popular.
The Cafés con piernas, or ‘Coffee with legs’ have become a Chilean institution. They serve no alcohol or food and close at night. But from the moment they enter, men are fawned over by pretty, lingerie clad waitresses. Little wonder they make so much money. But a version for Chilean businesswomen failed. “Women didn’t come in — only gay men”.

Sexist Coffee Ad (ca. 1960s)
By admin
I believe the first ten seconds of this ad are quite possibly one my favorite moments of vintage footage ever. Harvey and his wife’s breakfast bliss is shattered when he inexplicably rips into her Coffee making ability, makes a veiled threat that he’s going to start looking for other women, and then, in one of history’s great passive-aggressive turns, declares “Well, see you later” and exits dramatically stage left.
Of course this outburst is entirely the fault of the wife’s poor culinary skills, but once her non-fazed friend turns her on to instant coffee (as opposed to, say, some counseling) the only rift in their otherwise rock-solid union is closed and the loving couple enjoy a romantic evening in their now completely dark living room.
Of course we all know it’s only a matter of minutes until Harvey blows up at another trivial matter, but it doesn’t matter by then. Folgers has made it’s point: If you don’t buy their coffee, your husband will start sleeping around at the office. An axiom that remains true today.

Coffee… It’s a constant companion of the modern persons and our mood becomes better even only at the mention of this drink. If you remember the bewitching aroma of coffee in the morning, charge of vivacity and optimism will be guaranteed for the whole day.
Very often doctors give a notice about harmful influence of over-use coffee on human organism. Coffee dependence develops very quickly and compels a person to take this aromatic drink regularly.

The recipe of home peeling from coffee is known long ago. Before, it could be used only by rich women. But now it is accessible for almost each of us.

You should know that you need fine ground of coffee for tender parts of your body like as face or hands; and for more harsh body’s parts: elbows, knees, heels, you need big ground of Coffee.
Owners of dark hairs can use coffee for giving them shine, splendour and bulk. You can prepare natural coffee hair rinse. Take 4 tea-spoons of ground coffee and pour them with 3 glasses of boiling water. Boil coffee mixture for 10 minute on the light fire. Then cool and filter coffee-water and use as hair rinse. It will help to refresh dim hair’s color and to lighten their set.
Massage with cream from coffee beans becomes popular last time. Such kind of massage includes the program of weight loss and anti-cellulitis. The great number of caffeine in the special massage cream helps to liven up the mechanism of disintegration and eduction of fats, restores elasticity and resilience of skin and decides the problem of premature ageing. Coffee massage is made as on the whole body, so on its parts, needed in additional correction.
