It's The Coffee Stupid!

Your selection of coffee is most important as it is the last thing that one tastes at the end of their meal.  After you have indulged and tasted everything during the course of your meal; it will be the flavour and taste left by the coffee you are drinking that will seal the deal.  liQuid heaVen ~ 'so satisfying'

Energy drinks ~vs~ Coffee!

Energy Drinks!  A bevy of them are out there.  It's a new industry for God's sake and it is raking in lots of  money.  Why?  There is about 135 milligrams of Caffeine in a cup of coffee enough to increase metaboloism during more than two (2) hours!
                             Coffee ~vs~ Energy Drinks...it's a no brainer! 

K-cups, they just keep getting better...


People may be getting it, finally. Mark my words, not long from now we will hear about health issues, lawsuits, etc regarding k-cups.

Thought I'd once again share some recent comments on safety of plastic used in k-cups below from coffeedetective.com.

El Pablo steers clear of plastics & liquids
by: Anonymous

El Pablo (pihlenfe) will steer clear of any products that contain plastics & liquids combination! The USA-FDA does not really help here either since they are more for corporations & the 1% and less for the 99% of everyday regular folks. No Keurig or K-cups or whatever they call it for El Pablo!

Does it leach styrene?
by: Anonymous

Why is everyone only talking about BPA? Wouldn't the risk be styrene? If the water reservoir is recycle code #6, it's polystyrene. Styrene is a suspected carcinogen, and a suspected toxin to the gastrointestinal, kidney, and respiratory systems, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. Shouldn't water that comes out of a Keurig be tested for styrene?

WHAT?!
by: Anonymous
Of COURSE they're going to tell you it doesn't contain BPA. Because they want to sell them to you. ANYthing with plastic emits stuff because it's PLASTIC. Buy a melitta ( sp? ) ceramic cone filter and be done with it. Your life is much more valuable than that cup o' joe. Really, I care more about you than Keurig does. Buy the ceramic filter. Your coffee tastes WAYYY better and it is wayyy cheaper. Please don't be fooled by these posts that tell you the product is safe. Err on the side of caution and throw out, or take back the Keurig.
