The world wakes up to the smell of hot coffee, or tea. Just like the cowboys of old, there's no reason why you can't do the same, even when camping. Like billions of other people, you probably start your morning with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Even when camping, this is one part of your routine that you would probably prefer not to change. There's no need to. Although it may take a little more work, even when "roughing it," you can make something hot to drink in the morning (or whenever) with very little equipment (and no electric coffee maker). Perhaps the most familiar way to make coffee when camping is with a non-electric coffee maker. This is a device that works much like the coffee maker that you have at home, except that it doesn't plug-in. Instead of using electricity to heat the water, it is heated over a fire. After that, the process is the same. Drip style non-electric coffee makers are available and at least one company even makes a non-elect

Most of us want us to enjoy the best coffee we can lay our hands on. Let's see how we can make our morning coffee, the best, in terms of quality. Keeping Coffee at its freshest best When purchasing coffee beans, take care to buy whole beans and grind only enough for one pot of coffee at a time. Whole beans retain their flavors, oils and aromas much longer than ground coffee. Buy only enough coffee beans as you will use in one or two weeks; this will help insure freshness. It is best if you could store your beans in an air tight glass, ceramic or plastic containers. If you use plastic, you should use the beans in one week or less. Never store beans or ground coffee in the refrigerator or freezer. Both the Specialty Coffee Association of America and the National Coffee Association of USA recommend storing whole coffee beans in an airtight container in a cool, dry location (in a cabinet); never freeze or refrigerate the beans. Roasted coffee beans contain volatile flavor o

 The True Story One of the world's most loved beverages, coffee is a way of life. It has managed to dispel all doubts about the darker shades of its character, and today, the darker the shade, the more we love it...that's COFFEE.

The animals became friskier and Kaldiwas tempted too, soon, he joined them. The monks of the area tasted these bitter berries and that night they prayed with greater fervor than before! Soon the fame of the flavor spread and Africans of those times actually made bars out of this bean and animal fat balls. There was also wine made out of this berry that was very popular. But it was not until the tenth century that the coffee berry found its way out of the African continent. It moved out through the route of Arabia where it was again zealously guarded fo

A new study reported by New Scientist news reveals an astounding fact. It says 'taking a coffee break might actually sabotage the employees ability to do their jobs and undermine teamwork instead of boosting it' Dosing up on caffeine is particularly unhelpful to men, disrupting their emotions and hampering their ability to do certain tasks, suggests a report by psychologists Lindsay St Claire and Peter Rogers at Bristol University in the UK. It is believed by many that taking coffee breaks at work will reduce their feelings of stress. But in reality, the theories about the effects of caffeine are conflicting. Some studies suggest caffeine can worsen anxiety and trigger stress, while others show it boosts confidence, alertness and sociability, making certain tasks easier But this latest report, released by the UK's Economic and Social Research Council on Friday, supports the view that coffee exacerbates stress, especially in men, and makes people less co-oper
