Organic Green Coffee Beans

Author: Paul Easton

Organic green coffee beans are beans which have been grown naturally.  No chemicals, no harmful pesticides, and no unnatural fertilizers have been used.

This is not only beneficial to the environment, which does indeed  get help by recycling, composting, and enriching the soil.  It is also better for you, each time you sit back to enjoy a good cup of coffee.

The beans are not called "green" because of these environmental benefits, nor are they green because they are not ripe.

A green coffee bean is one which has not yet been roasted, a necessary process that must be followed, either by the distributor or the consumer, before the beans can be ground and brewed.

While most coffee drinkers find it far more convenient to buy their coffee already roasted, ground, and sealed in a can, more and more people are grinding their own beans, feeling that both the aroma and the taste of the brewed java is fresher.

And now there are those who buy their coffee green, believing that tit lasts longer and stays fresher if it is roasted and ground just before brewing.

Because over ten billion pounds of coffee is consumed yearly, exceeded only by the use of petroleum on the world market, it really is wise to consider using only organically grown coffee.

Yes, it is a bit more expensive, because of  the extra man power used, and the speed with which it must be processed. You will pay less for green beans than those which are roasted before sold, but then you will have the responsibility of roasting them and grinding them yourself.

Organic green coffee beans come in almost as many varieties as the pre-roasted beans.  You will not have difficulty finding decaffeinated, Hawaiian, Jamaican Blue Mountain, African, or the South American coffees.

Almost all coffee drinkers (and let's face it, almost everyone drinks coffee) drink a minimum of one cup a day.

By drinking organic coffee, you are lessening the amount of artificial and harmful chemicals that you are ingesting, and you are also helping the environment.

Some say that organic coffee tastes softer and more fruity.  Others say it tastes the same, but is fresher, and environmentally safe.

The general consensus among organic green coffee buyers is that these beans stay fresh the longest of all beans.  It is their practice to roast them in small batches, and then grind them as used.

Blueberry Coffee Cake

This Blueberry Coffee Cake has a classic crumble topping and is a favorite restaurant recipe. This is my favorite coffee cake recipe, with its moist cake base and deliciously crunchy top. The coffee cake recipe brings back memories of homemade goodness.

Most frequently restaurant guests order the coffee cake at breakfast time with a cup of coffee or tea.
It serves them well as a breakfast but is also very good for a brunch or at afternoon tea.


Blueberries have more to offer than just good taste! Did you know that blueberries are a good source of vitamin C and fiber. Blueberries are a great source of antioxidants that pump up your immune system and fight off disease.

Not only are blueberries a healthy and tasty fruit, but they are one of the easiest fruits to prepare. Just rinse with cold water.

If you buy or pick fresh blueberries, let the blueberries sit for a couple of days somewhere cool to allow them to develop their full flavor.

How to Make Instant Coffee

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Coffee is an important part of the morning for many people. For those people who prefer not to brew coffee, it is important to know how to correctly make instant coffee, to put the best start to one's morning as is possible.

Steps

1. Put water in a kettle and plug it in. If you do not have a kettle, then put water in a pot and put it on the stove. Or use an immersion heater and warm up the water in a separate heat-proof mug. The easiest method is to use a microwave.(Note: Never re-heat water or coffee in a microwave, this can cause super heated water that can explode when agitated)
   
2. Take the instant coffee and put about one slightly rounded teaspoon (this may vary based upon how strong one likes their coffee) in a mug.
   
3. Pour just a teaspoon of the very hot (nearly boiling) water into the mug; only enough to dampen the instant coffee. If you use sugar, put in your sugar granules. Now, with a metal spoon, crush the slurry against the side of the mug.
   
4. Stir in the rest of the hot water.
   
5. Add fresh whole milk, fresh half-and-half, or non-dairy creamer to the coffee if desired. Evaporated milk from a can (undiluted) may also be used.
   
6. Flavorings such as vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or ground cinnamon may be added at this time. If the coffee has been modified, then stir thoroughly until the extra ingredients have been dissolved.
   

A Simpler Cup

1. Heat up the water and get a mug and put in two tablespoons of sugar and a teaspoon of instant coffee. (Adjust to size of cup and taste.
   
2. When the water is ready, pour in as much to fill the cup, allowing for any liquid you plan to add.
   
3. Add creamer to the coffee and stir.
   

Tips

• Try heating the milk up before you add it, some people find that this makes instant coffee taste better!
  
• All the additives and measurements vary based on the person so be sure that you know what you like!
  
• The sugar, creamer, and/or flavorings may be measured into the cup before adding the water.
  
• Store instant coffee in the freezer in an air-tight container in order to maintain that fresh aroma that it has when you first open the new container.
  
• If desired, you may use artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. However, be aware that aspartame (Nutrasweet/Equal) breaks down with heat, so it loses sweetness over time. This does not occur with saccharin (Sweet N Low) or sucralose (Splenda).
  
• You might want to add the milk to the mug before adding the boiling water. In doing this shake the milk bottle/ container, creating "foam," before you pour! It will make the coffee look very nice.
  

Warnings

• Even though instant coffee doesn't contain as much caffeine as brewed coffee, it still has a substantial amount of the drug. Too much caffeine can lead to health problems.
  
• Making instant coffee means being close to water which is at scalding temperatures. Take reasonable safety precautions when around extremely hot water.
  

How to make a nice cup of coffee?

Brewing a great cup of coffee depends on a number of things such as the quality of the coffee bean, the quality of the water being used, the type of brewing being done, and the grind of the coffee. Now quality of bean and water is something you can easily take care. Just use good quality beans and pure water. However the relationship between the grind of the coffee and the type of brewing being done is more detailed and could use a little explanation. Now we all know that we make coffee by passing hot water over crushed coffee beans. However for it to really work well we need to understand just how long the water should be passing over the beans. The purpose of this article is to help you understand how to match your coffee's grind to the type of brewing you are doing in order to make the best coffee possible.

Generally speaking, the 'soaking' time relates directly to how coarse the coffee is ground. This means that smaller coffee grinds need less contact with the water, and coarser grinds need longer contact. Espresso coffee is only exposed to water for 20-40 seconds and as a result is made using extremely fine grind coffee. A French press coffee maker can take as much as 4 minutes and uses an extremely coarse grind. If coffee is left contacting water for too long for its grind size, unwanted extracts emerge and make the coffee taste bitter. Of course if the grind is too large and the water passes very quickly (like using frech press grind in an espresso maker), very little of the caffeine and flavours extracted and will have poor flavour.

Of course filters play an important role in managing the balance between over and under brewing your coffee. Not only do they keep the grind out of your cup, but they also control how fast the water passes over the grinds. Paper filters are the most common, but many people are also using metal varieties. Paper filters are quite good. However they can absorb some of the coffee flavour, and some people claim they can taste the paper in the final coffee. Metal filters are normally made from stainless steel or gold plated mesh. They have very fine weave and filter out the coffee grinds very well. They also do not alter the taste of the coffee at all. Metal filters are also more environmentally friendly than the paper alternative.

Whichever you choose, be sure to buy decent quality. Cheap filters often clog or not allow the coffee to brew properly. A decent quality metal filter will last years and save money in the end.

Brewing a cup of coffee is not that hard. Brewing a great cup takes a little more understanding, but isn't any harder. Start with fresh beans and good clean water and then match your brewing style to the proper grind and then mess around with the exact proportions and pretty soon your be brewing killer coffee every time.

Coffee cake with Cinnamon and Sugar

Cinnamon Coffee Cake Recipe

Ingredients

4 Eggs
10 milliliter of Vanilla extract
500 grams of Flour (all-purpose)
6 grams of Salt
225 grams of Butter
460 grams of Cream (sour)
550 grams of Sugar (white)
9 grams of Baking Powder
5 grams of Baking Soda
180 grams of Walnuts (chopped)
15 grams of Cinnamon (ground)

Procedure

First preheat the oven to a temperature of 350 degrees. Then grease a 10 inch tube pan lightly. Once that is done, take a large mixing bowl and cream together the butter with 2 cups of sugar. When it turns fluffy, add the eggs and vanilla one at a time taking care to beat the mixture well after each egg is added.
Next mix the baking powder, baking soda and flour. Now alternatively add the egg mixture and the sour cream and beat. While doing so, beat only enough to keep the batter smooth. Now combine the remaining sugar with cinnamon and walnuts.
Once the above steps are complete; spoon 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Then over it sprinkle 1/3 of the walnut mixture. Ensure you repeat this layer 2 more times. Put this into the oven and bake it at 350 degrees for 70 minutes. When it's done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes after which remove the pan and let the cinnamon coffee cake continue to cool on a wire rack.

Coffee Facts

(NaturalNews) The words "bad" and "habit" just seem to go together. People can have good habits, sure, but we typically associate habits with bad things. Coffee drinking is one such example. The brown libation stains teeth, is loaded with caffeine, and is a pesticide-riddled crop. What could be worse? But a new study from the University of Sydney shows how coffee drinking is a great habit to have for diabetes prevention.

Diabetes affects an astounding number of people today. According to the American Dietetic Association, 23.7 million people in the United States alone have it, and there's no indication the rate will lower any time soon. In fact, a study published in the journal Diabetes Care estimates that over 44 million people will have diabetes 25 years from now, more than tripling the cost diabetes treatment doles out in medical expenses (from $113 billion to $336 million).

So any news that shows even the potential of slashing diabetes risk is good news.

The Australian researchers discovered this link after poring over 18 studies that looked into how much coffee was drunk by people with and without type II diabetes (type II diabetes is the clear leader in diabetes diagnosis, accounting for 95 percent of cases). The pool of participants included some 500,000 individuals with approximately 21,000 different types of type II diabetes.

Not only did researchers find that people who drank coffee had a lower risk for diabetes, but that every additional cup they drank brought a decreased risk. For example, if a participant drank two cups of coffee per day, they were about 14 percent less likely to have diabetes. But if people had five cups of coffee a day, they were 35 percent less likely to have diabetes. And this finding held true if people were drinking coffee with or without caffeine.

The Australian study piggybacks on one reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association earlier this year, which found that coffee decreased the risk of developing diabetes with every additional cup consumed.

Now, just because a study links coffee drinking to diabetes prevention doesn't mean that any old coffee brand will do. As aforementioned, many coffee brands are boiling over with pesticides. You don't want to be poisoning your body with pesticides, but perhaps more importantly, you don't want to be giving environmentally-unfriendly coffee growing practices the go-ahead. Because by purchasing non-organic brands of coffee, that's essentially what you're doing.

So, so long as your coffee is organic-certified, may your cup overflow with joe! But not too much, or you're bound to get burned!
