FREE 50 % Starbucks - On earth Day


Bring your tumbler and get 50 % off on Earth day ..







STARBUCKS's selling Instant Coffee..?

I almost do not believe my eyes when I saw the Starbucks introduced a new line of coffee. You know, I love Starbucks coffee, more often than others , I want to walk to Starbucks coffee shop, even if it is a farther than others . However, the soluble coffee ? This is only others the name of a beautiful instant coffee.



Yes, you read that right. Starbucks launched a series of instant coffee. What is the world, what they think of it?

Fast Company reports:

But it did not stop the country's largest chain of coffee ready to start the VIA beer, a new series of real-time - I'm sorry, "soluble" - cafes in March to visit the United States 3rd

There are two Flavors in Brew, Colombia and Italy grilled. This is a typical mixture of packaging and Starbucks: the back of the three services in each bag (2.95 U.S. dollars), providing content, "is not without a lot of coffee."

I am very pessimistic about the whole thing. But Fast Company is not a blind taste test, this is a very surprising result. This is the Starbucks of the VIA - Colombia (instant):

From the coffee powder and hot water. But I do not know why this beer all the positive reviews. Raved the taste of their flavor ( "balance, rather than painful"), texture (smooth so far ") and smell (smells like a fancy coffee"). And call - Ironically, the warning! - "You buy the Starbucks coffee." Nuff said.

I can say, WOW. Instant coffee, or if it is true, a good cafe or coffee is bad. I look forward to try their own.




Did you grind your coffee alone


I think that this question has been asked so many times that it has gotten quite old. However, the fact that people keep asking it over and over again means that it is not that clear to many how grinding your own coffee beans can make a difference in the quality of your coffee.



To be honest with you, I was one of those people who kept asking this question. I normally use my good old drip coffee machine. It is just really more convenient than using my espresso machine . When I did get a grinder (Krups) and tried grinding my own beans, however, I discovered what I had been missing out on.

All that I can say is that when you buy freshly roasted whole beans and then you grind a small amount to brew, the flavor is just so wonderful! Naturally, the quality of the drink would depend on the kind of beans that you get but given the same kind, freshly ground beans are the best.

Other ways about grinding your own beans and preserving the flavor of the coffee is you can store the whole beans for a longer period of time than you could store coffee grounds. I have noticed that even if you store coffee grounds in a sealed container, the freshness deteriorates much more quickly than if you stored the whole beans.

To answer that question – yes, grinding your own coffee beans is definitely worth the extra effort that you have to put into measuring out the beans, grinding them, and then cleaning out the grinder. It’s a small price to pay, really.
