For a bit of fun and light reading, I’ve put together a little list of coffee related facts for you…
A Cup Of Coffee A Day…: Coffee has a ton of health benefits. It has antioxidants, can help improve cognitive function, has been said to lower the risk of prostate cancer, and a offers a host of other benefits too. You might as well add it to that apple a day.
In Demand: It rotates between the first and second most traded commodity in the world, seconded only by oil. It’s not hard to imagine either. Imagine all of the hundreds of millions coffee drinkers in the world from the US, South America, Asia, and who could forget Europe.
Coffee Makers: Coffee makers have been around for about 200 years. They were pretty different back then though! We’re spoilt for choice these days with the hundreds of varieties of them available.
Decaffeinated – Really?: All coffee has caffeine in it, even decaf coffee. The truth is that it’s impossible for producers to totally take out all traces of caffeine. Decaf coffee definitely contains less caffeine than regular coffee though – approximately 70-90% less.
Expensive Coffee Isn’t the Best: More and more taste tests are proving that expensive brands aren’t always the best. In fact, in a recent taste test by a national US publication, the most popular brand in the world (you can guess which one) was beaten by a much less “chic” brand in a blind taste test.
Coffee Belt: Coffee is grown in lots of different countries, and across a few continents. What each of these places has in common though is that they are nearly all located between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
