You can never have too much coffee…
Coffee’s health benefits are nothing new (a topic I cover here often). There’s a steady stream of scientific studies that generally support that conclusion…which I guess is not surprising, I mean, considering coffee’s popularity, I imagine there’s no shortage of scientists eager to study the topic more!

First off – don’t panic. 🙂 Keep drinking your coffee while you read this. A judge in California has ruled that coffee companies have to display a warning that coffee poses a cancer risk, due to the presence of acrylamide, a chemical produced in the roasting process.

So, this is really more of a long term review, of my favorite coffee making machine! It’s called the AeroPress (~$30 at Amazon), and if you think it’s basically a French Press…well you’re right…but looking at it the wrong way. Meaning…it’s more like an upside down French Press!

So, what is Bulletproof coffee? […]
Starbucks is giving its iPhone-toting patrons a new option for visiting their stores…they can use an app to order and pay for their drink before they’ve even arrived at the store. When they show up, it’s ready (or close to ready)…no more standing in what can be a very long line at times. This is […]
Ever wonder how coffee affects your brain? Check out this cool video from ASAPScience:
If you use a Keurig K-cup brewer, there’s a great alternative to throwing away hundreds of K-cups per year, and that’s a refillable/reusable cup like this one from Ekobrew.

Well so much for that old belief…turns out that coffee does NOT dehydrate you, it actually helps contribute to your daily fluid needs. Well, at least in moderation.
