My Coffee Melts Glaciers or…. you could commit suicide when making coffee

This morning, I found this post on The Inspired Protagonist :

And I quote:

Science Man, is it true that the greatest release of carbon with regards to my morning coffee is due to the process of heating the water? How can I still be green with this addiction?

I don’t know but it would seem to me that we can tend to go a bit over-board. But then again, I also quote:

Even in comparison to the carbon released in transporting coffee, heating the water for and keeping the coffee hot attributes to a much greater release of carbon.

Good Grief Charlie Brown… that is disturbing. I have to have hot coffee damn it. What are your thoughts on the “Green Addiction” ?

When Coffee May Not Mean COFFEE …

As I’ve mentioned before, I subscribe to google alerts, one of the subjects being ‘coffee blogs’ and this morning this was included in my email results:

A weblog called The Positivity Blog has inserted a post called 9 lessons I have learned from George Costanza. A must read. It is witty and strangely related to many areas of life. Give it a read. Here is the area there caught my eye:

Sometimes coffee isn´t coffee

In one hilarious scene (episode “The Phone Message”) George and a woman is at the end of a date. It´s midnight and they are sitting in his car.

She: Do you want come upstairs for a cup of coffee?
George: No thanks, if I drink coffee this late at night, it keeps me up.
She: Well, ok, good night…
George: Take it easy.

End of date.

Sometimes a cup of coffee isn´t a cup of coffee. As mentioned earlier in 18 ways to improve your body-language, words is only a small part of communication. Being open to using common-sense and experience and not just listening to words in a straightforward, logical fashion can help you improve your communication skills. And prevent situations where a bad time is had by all.

Thanks to The Positivity Blog for the laugh this morning and the quote.

Does decaf coffee deliver a mini-caffeine punch?

According to health news at Macon Daily Decaf coffee is often not totally caffeine-free, a new study shows. In fact, while these beverages have far less caffeine than a cup of regular coffee, they still may have enough of the stimulant to cause physical dependence on them. Source was Reuters.

Also: As Dr. Bruce A. Goldberger of the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville told Reuters Health, “The concentration of caffeine in these brewed decaf coffees does have physiological and behavioral effects on a person.”

I knew it! Of couse most of us knew it. Even though I think decafis the anit-christ, I also felt that caffeine was always present, no matter what. How can they actually remove all traces of caffeine? My aunt will not drink regular ‘caffeinated’ coffee. Guess what auntie? You’re drinking it anyway! hahaha! I am not trying to phrase that in a mean spirited way but I just don’t get it when it comes to decaf drinkers. Why even bother.
