]]> Coffee is a ritual as much as it is a drink. More than a few people will admit that they’re not fully conscious before having that first cup in the morning. But sometimes you taste coffee that is so bad you’d rather have walked around like a zombie all day. If you come across such an unfortunate bunch of beans, here are some tips to save your tastebuds from the horror. 

Pass the Salt

Before you raise your eyebrows at this suggestion, give it a try. Sprinkling a bit of salt in your coffee grounds can cut through the bitterness and reduce the acidity. We’re not sure why it works, but we’re choosing to trust science on this one.

Make it a Mocha

There are very few things that chocolate can’t fix and a bad cup of coffee is not one of them. Let a few pieces dissolve in the hot liquid or stir in some hot chocolate powder to mask the taste. A splash of vanilla should help too. 

Citrus Might Save It

Have an orange lying around? Put it to good use by squeezing a bit into your cup of joe. Citric acid has the ability to balance out that nasty bitterness and make the coffee smoother.

]]> If you love coffee, you’re probably familiar with caffeine headaches. We have all been there—run out of our favorite coffee beans and haven’t had a moment to get to Starbucks and that’s when the headache starts. Headaches occur when there is an increase in blood flow to the brain, which puts pressure on the nerves and leads to you feeling pain.

When it comes to caffeine, there is the right amount that can help you starve off a headache as caffeine naturally narrows your blood vessels and relieves the pressure. This is why most migraine medicine includes caffeine. On the other side, consuming too much caffeine can actually give you a headache, as your body gets used to a certain amount of caffeine each day and when you stop drinking as much the blood flow rushes back to the brain, causing a headache.

To get rid of headaches, firstly start drinking lots of water—caffeine tends to dehydrate you which makes a headache worse, so start your day drinking water instead of coffee.

These headaches might push you to go cold turkey on caffeine, but this is not the best option. Instead, start cutting back slowly. Give your body time to adjust to less and less caffeine per day and the headaches will go too. 200 milligrams of caffeine per day or less is the number you want to aim for.

Also, start using natural energy sources instead of relying on caffeine every day, by sleeping well, getting more sunlight, and doing yoga or meditation.

]]> Everyone knows that there’s nothing more important than your morning cup of coffee. Whether you like it hot or iced, buying it every day from a trendy coffee shop gets expensive. Keep reading for some hot tips on how to skip the $6 latte, and jazz up your java at home.

Good Beans

Good coffee starts with better beans. Check out your local coffee shop for fresh beans from a variety of origins. For even better results, grind the beans yourself with a simple grinder and let the smell of fresh beans fill your home.

Flavored Syrups

If you’re someone who loves flavored coffee, try buying some store-bought flavors, or make them at home. You would be surprised how easy a stove-top brown sugar syrup is to make. With a variety of flavors on hand, the coffee world is your oyster.

Froth Your Milk

Invest in a hand frother! In addition to hand frothers, you can also check out milk frothers that will also heat up your milk. Not only will a frother make your coffee taste better, but it will also give you that genuine coffee shop vibe.

Shaken Espressos

Put your bartending skills to the test and make a shaken espresso using a cocktail shaker! Mix it with your favorite syrup or brown sugar and pour it over ice and milk of your choice.

]]> Coffee is not just your morning wake-up call—it can also be a powerful ingredient in your skincare and beauty routine. Packed with antioxidants and exfoliating properties, coffee can help rejuvenate your skin and give you a natural glow. Here are five innovative ways to incorporate coffee into your skincare and beauty regimen.

Coffee Scrub for Exfoliation

Coffee grounds make an excellent natural exfoliator. Mix used coffee grounds with a bit of coconut oil to create a paste. Gently massage the mixture onto your face and body in circular motions. The coffee grounds will remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin smoother and more radiant.

Coffee Eye Mask for Puffy Eyes

Brew a cup of coffee and let it cool. Soak cotton pads in the cooled coffee and place them over your closed eyes for 10-15 minutes. The caffeine helps reduce puffiness and dark circles, giving your eyes a refreshed appearance.

Coffee Hair Mask for Shine

Mix coffee grounds with your regular hair conditioner to create a hair mask. Apply it to damp hair, focusing on the ends. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. The coffee will help add shine to your hair and even enhance your natural hair color.

Coffee Lip Scrub for Soft Lips

Combine coffee grounds with honey and a touch of coconut oil to create a lip scrub. Gently rub the mixture on your lips to exfoliate and remove dry skin. Your lips will feel soft and smooth, ready for your favorite lip balm or lipstick.

Coffee Face Mask for Glow

Mix finely ground coffee with yogurt to create a face mask. Apply it to your face and leave it on for about 15 minutes before rinsing off. The mask will help brighten your complexion and give your skin a healthy glow.

]]> For many early risers, a cup of morning coffee can provide a much-needed energy boost to help them take on the day. While you may not realize it, coffee actually comes with an array of health benefits, so long as you minimize your consumption to one or two cups per day.

Protects Against Type 2 Diabetes

According to a 2014 study by Harvard, coffee helps to limit your chances of getting Type 2 Diabetes. While the reasons remain unclear, some experts believe this is because the antioxidants contained in coffee reduce inflammation, which is connected to Type 2 Diabetes risk.

Slows The Progress Of Dementia

Research has shown that coffee can slow done cognitive decline which could be associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other related conditions. This is because the caffeine in coffee is a natural stimulant.

Could Boost Liver Health

Several studies have shown that coffee seems to contribute to liver health and defend against liver disease. Coffee appeared to decrease liver stiffness, which is a measure that health professionals use to measure fibrosis (the formation of scar tissue in the liver).

]]> Pastries and coffee are a match made in heaven as coffee provides a palate cleanser between sweets. That’s why most coffee shops sell little baked treats. If you enjoy something to chew on while drinking a nice latte or need something to dip into the drink, here are the best pastries to order with a side of coffee.

Croissants

Flaky and buttery, croissants are a classic coffee-side treat. You can get a butter croissant if you don’t want sweetness or a sweet flavor like chocolate or almond. If you like to dip, croissants pair especially well with milky hot coffee like a latte or cappuccino.

Cookies

Cookies are the best option for dippers. The best one is biscotti because it is crunchy, and soaking it in coffee will give it just the right softness. It’s also perfectly shaped for dipping. But, this principle applies to any other cookie too.

Coffee Cake

This cinnamon-crusted yellow cake pairs so well with coffee that it is even named for the drink. Coffee cake in Britain is actually coffee-flavored, and this is its original form. However, over time in America, the recipe evolved to become the perfect cake to eat with coffee. So it is tailor-made for this purpose. This treat will go well with any coffee, hot or cold.

]]> Waking up can be hard, so lots of people turn to guide to help boost their mornings. But, many experts say that it’s best to hold off on having caffeine first thing in the morning. So when should you be having your coffee?

Right After Breakfast

When you first wake up, your body gets a boost from the hormone that makes you alert, cortisol. Some scientists think drinking coffee during that boost can create even more cortisol than you need. Or, it can be a waste of caffeine because your body is already waking you up. It’s better to drink after breakfast when you need the boost more. 

After Lunch

People often feel a lull in the afternoon, especially if they eat a big lunch. If you’re at work and need a pick-me-up, this can be a good time to have a cup of Joe. The extra boost may also help with concentration, and a nice warm drink is a lovely way to decompress mid-workday.

Before a Workout

To help get psyched up before a workout, many people drink energy drinks or caffeine-induced protein shakes. These can raise energy levels for a higher-intensity workout. But, you don’t need to worry about fancy fitness drinks—coffee will do the job just fine.

]]> Don’t get us wrong, we love a good cup of joe as much as the next barista. But once in a while, it’s fun to mix it up and try something different. From food blogs to neighborhood cafes, these colorful steamed drinks are increasing in popularity all around the world.

Tickled Pink

This beetroot latte is a perfect caffeine-free option when you’re looking for something sweet but still healthy. Beet powder is steamed with almond milk, vanilla, and maple syrup to create a mug of pretty-in-pink deliciousness that’s totally Instagram-worthy.

Lean, Green, Caffeinated Machine

Going Green is easy with this matcha latte. Matcha is a powdered form of green tea and a great alternative to coffee if you’re looking for a pick-me-up but also a bit sensitive to caffeine. A compound in green tea called L-theanine slows down the caffeine spike so that you’ll feel energized but without that post-coffee crash.

Blue Lagoon

Blue Magik is a powdered extract made from bluish algae, often taken as a health supplement. While large quantities can have a bit of a fishy flavor, this latte contains just enough to tint the milk blue and leave you free to add other flavors like maple and vanilla. You can even add toppings like flowers or sprinkles to create a latte fit for a mermaid (no scales required).

]]> Do you love coffee? If you can’t imagine a day without cold brews, cappuccinos, espressos, or dirty chai lattes, you have to try coffee cocktails. Instead of swapping wine for coffee at night, make an espresso-spiked cocktail. Here are four coffee cocktails, you should start making.

Espresso Martini

This cocktail comes together with just three ingredients—espresso, coffee liquor, and simple syrup. Make sure the espresso has cooled down before you pour it into your drink as you don’t want the ice to melt.

Coffee Old Fashioned

When you want a twist on an Old Fashioned, add some dark rum and Turkish coffee to the Bourbon or Rye whisky, sugar cube, and Angostura bitters.

Irish Iced Coffee

Instead of having Irish coffee hot, enjoy it cold by serving it over ice. Our tip is to serve it over coffee ice cubes, so the ice cubes won’t water down the drink. For a real treat, top it with whipped cream.

White Russian

Everyone should know how to make a White Russian. This drink uses vodka, Kahlúa, and heavy cream. It’s pretty much an adult version of a milkshake and it can be customized with toppings like cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spice, ginger, and chocolate syrup.

]]> What’s the first thing you do every morning? If the answer is reaching for a cup of coffee, you are not alone. 90 percent of adults consume caffeine almost daily. But surprisingly, research indicates that the morning is in fact not the best time to drink your coffee.

A study conducted at the University of Bath has found that drinking coffee before eating in the morning can have a negative effect on your body, namely on blood sugar control. As part of the study, male and female participants slept from 11 pm to 7 am and were asked to consume a sugary drink upon waking up. In another experiment, their sleep was repeatedly disrupted with text messages they had to respond to. Again, they consumed the sugary drink when they woke up. In a third experiment, participants whose sleep was disrupted were given a strong black coffee before consuming the sugary drink.

The results showed that disrupted sleep or not, participants’ blood glucose responses didn’t worsen. However, the blood glucose response of those who had black coffee before the sugary drink (AKA ‘breakfast’) spiked by about 50%.

This suggests that relying on coffee to stop feeling sleepy could limit your body’s ability to tolerate the sugar in your breakfast. What’s the best time to drink coffee then? Experts recommend drinking your cup in the mid-morning or early afternoon.

]]> Pastries and coffee are a match made in heaven as coffee provides a palate cleanser between sweets. That’s why most coffee shops sell little baked treats. If you enjoy something to chew on while drinking a nice latte or need something to dip into the drink, here are the best pastries to order with a side of coffee.

Croissants

Flaky and buttery, croissants are a classic coffee-side treat. You can get a butter croissant if you don’t want sweetness or a sweet flavor like chocolate or almond. If you like to dip, croissants pair especially well with milky hot coffee like a latte or cappuccino.

Cookies

Cookies are the best option for dippers. The best one is biscotti because it is crunchy, and soaking it in coffee will give it just the right softness. It’s also perfectly shaped for dipping. But, this principle applies to any other cookie too.

Coffee Cake

This cinnamon-crusted yellow cake pairs so well with coffee that it is even named for the drink. Coffee cake in Britain is actually coffee-flavored, and this is its original form. However, over time in America, the recipe evolved to become the perfect cake to eat with coffee. So it is tailor-made for this purpose. This treat will go well with any coffee, hot or cold.

]]> Waking up can be hard, so lots of people turn to guide to help boost their mornings. But, many experts say that it’s best to hold off on having caffeine first thing in the morning. So when should you be having your coffee?

Right After Breakfast

When you first wake up, your body gets a boost from the hormone that makes you alert, cortisol. Some scientists think drinking coffee during that boost can create even more cortisol than you need. Or, it can be a waste of caffeine because your body is already waking you up. It’s better to drink after breakfast when you need the boost more. 

After Lunch

People often feel a lull in the afternoon, especially if they eat a big lunch. If you’re at work and need a pick-me-up, this can be a good time to have a cup of Joe. The extra boost may also help with concentration, and a nice warm drink is a lovely way to decompress mid-workday.

Before a Workout

To help get psyched up before a workout, many people drink energy drinks or caffeine-induced protein shakes. These can raise energy levels for a higher-intensity workout. But, you don’t need to worry about fancy fitness drinks—coffee will do the job just fine.

]]> Don’t get us wrong, we love a good cup of joe as much as the next barista. But once in a while, it’s fun to mix it up and try something different. From food blogs to neighborhood cafes, these colorful steamed drinks are increasing in popularity all around the world.

Tickled Pink

This beetroot latte is a perfect caffeine-free option when you’re looking for something sweet but still healthy. Beet powder is steamed with almond milk, vanilla, and maple syrup to create a mug of pretty-in-pink deliciousness that’s totally Instagram-worthy.

Lean, Green, Caffeinated Machine

Going Green is easy with this matcha latte. Matcha is a powdered form of green tea and a great alternative to coffee if you’re looking for a pick-me-up but also a bit sensitive to caffeine. A compound in green tea called L-theanine slows down the caffeine spike so that you’ll feel energized but without that post-coffee crash.

Blue Lagoon

Blue Magik is a powdered extract made from bluish algae, often taken as a health supplement. While large quantities can have a bit of a fishy flavor, this latte contains just enough to tint the milk blue and leave you free to add other flavors like maple and vanilla. You can even add toppings like flowers or sprinkles to create a latte fit for a mermaid (no scales required).

]]> Do you love coffee? If you can’t imagine a day without cold brews, cappuccinos, espressos, or dirty chai lattes, you have to try coffee cocktails. Instead of swapping wine for coffee at night, make an espresso-spiked cocktail. Here are four coffee cocktails, you should start making.

Espresso Martini

This cocktail comes together with just three ingredients—espresso, coffee liquor, and simple syrup. Make sure the espresso has cooled down before you pour it into your drink as you don’t want the ice to melt.

Coffee Old Fashioned

When you want a twist on an Old Fashioned, add some dark rum and Turkish coffee to the Bourbon or Rye whisky, sugar cube, and Angostura bitters.

Irish Iced Coffee

Instead of having Irish coffee hot, enjoy it cold by serving it over ice. Our tip is to serve it over coffee ice cubes, so the ice cubes won’t water down the drink. For a real treat, top it with whipped cream.

White Russian

Everyone should know how to make a White Russian. This drink uses vodka, Kahlúa, and heavy cream. It’s pretty much an adult version of a milkshake and it can be customized with toppings like cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spice, ginger, and chocolate syrup.

]]> What’s the first thing you do every morning? If the answer is reaching for a cup of coffee, you are not alone. 90 percent of adults consume caffeine almost daily. But surprisingly, research indicates that the morning is in fact not the best time to drink your coffee.

A study conducted at the University of Bath has found that drinking coffee before eating in the morning can have a negative effect on your body, namely on blood sugar control. As part of the study, male and female participants slept from 11 pm to 7 am and were asked to consume a sugary drink upon waking up. In another experiment, their sleep was repeatedly disrupted with text messages they had to respond to. Again, they consumed the sugary drink when they woke up. In a third experiment, participants whose sleep was disrupted were given a strong black coffee before consuming the sugary drink.

The results showed that disrupted sleep or not, participants’ blood glucose responses didn’t worsen. However, the blood glucose response of those who had black coffee before the sugary drink (AKA ‘breakfast’) spiked by about 50%.

This suggests that relying on coffee to stop feeling sleepy could limit your body’s ability to tolerate the sugar in your breakfast. What’s the best time to drink coffee then? Experts recommend drinking your cup in the mid-morning or early afternoon.
