Another post on coffee

Coffee is one of my favorite beverages. It's pretty good for you too, except when you add milk and sugar and other things that really take away from the coffee experience. My feeling is that you should only drink coffee straight, black that is. If you don't like it that way, it's probably because you are used to drinking bad coffee.

Wiser Health champions simplicity, and here's a simple way to make the perfect cup of coffee every time. Grab some fresh beans, a conical grinder and a French press and you'll have a lifetime of delicious coffee. If you buy high-quality whole beans, you'll save money and be satisfied with just a cup or two, a key to not getting the jitters and the other negative effects of coffee.

Here's a great guide from Stumptown Coffee's website on how to make the perfect coffee every time.

Another great benefit of enjoying coffee in its purest form, you won't suffer the embarrassment of ordering a "grande skinny vanilla soy latte" at Starbucks. It's so much cooler to say, "Give me a small coffee." Try it. Old women will start smiling at you. People will hold doors for you. Only Starbucks' marketing folks will be upset for not adhering to their asinine sizing lingo.

  1. Li,I'm strictly a black coffee drinker too. It tastes better to me -- and I get a psychological kick out of it. When someone asks "how do you take your coffee", it's a pleasure to reply "black." Makes me feel austere -- or as if I'm retro, and wearing a black turtleneck. Coffee is a culture, no?
