So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Do You Want To Make The Perfect Cup Of Coffee?

By Joseph Yew


When it comes to coffee, every drinker is different. Some prefer to pick up a mug at the local coffee bar, whereas others save money by brewing at home. Save your money by brewing a perfect cup of java at home. You can learn how by reading the tips in this article.

Proper coffee storage is crucial to protecting the quality of your beans. Fresh beans have a tendency to absorb other flavors as well as to lose their own flavor when exposed to light or heat. That is why it is a good idea to store coffee beans in an opaque, air-tight container.

Don't let coffee sit on the burner for more than 10 minutes. The coffee burns after that, which makes a bitter brew. Use a thermos to keep coffee warm instead.

If your goal is to make great iced coffee, one way to do so is to put your entire French press machine into the refrigerator while you sleep. This will chill down the machine for hours prior to using it in the morning. If you use cold water to start, you will create fabulous flavor.

Don't drink too much coffee in the afternoon. While coffee is delicious and a great part of any day, the caffeine in coffee can cause you to stay up well past the time you planned. Try not to consume any coffee after 3 in the afternoon if you want to sleep well at night.

Before you buy a coffee maker, make sure that is uses grinding burrs that are either conical or flat. This reduces the level of heat that you experience when brewing. This keeps your coffee tasting good. Sometimes, blades will lead to inconsistencies when making coffee. They get too hot and can ruin the beans by burning them.

You should never keep your coffee in the freezer for longer than three months. If your coffee has been in the freezer for longer than three months, it will not be as good.

To make your coffee have a mix of tastes, buy creamers or syrups to pour in after the brewing is done. Thus, your machine can remain free of different flavors. This also allows your guests to choose their own favorite flavors. Add any additional flavors prior to the milk. This gives them a chance to dissolve entirely.

If you could use a special treat, consider grabbing your next cup from a specialty coffee shop. A wide array of great options exist, and it is fun to add a bit of chocolate, caramel or whipped cream to your drink.

The local grocery store may not be the best choice for purchasing your own coffee. Supermarket coffee is not always of the highest quality and may sit on the shelf a while before selling. By shopping at a store specifically devoted to coffee, you usually get fresher beans.

With the above tips in mind, you ought to be eager to go try some new things out. You're probably ready to start trying some different coffees now. Do you have anyone to share the experience with? If so, you should share your expertise.
