Coffee- the drink we love.
Who does not love a cup of coffee? Coffee culture is amazing. It is a great drink to start the day, catch up with friends, to do some peaceful blogging. Coffee stimulates our central nervous system, it helps us focus. It works just like medicine but in small doses.
I am sorry to say this I am not a big fan of coffee from fast-food chains or instant coffee. I love to get my coffee from local cafes, the beans are mostly locally grounded, beans mainly come from Africa and other countries. There are so many different types of coffee beans available out there. Depending on your taste preferences you can find a variety of coffee blends, fruity ones, dar roasted. If you don’t want caffeine, you can have decaf.
Making coffee is an art. There are so many different techniques people use to make coffee. Depending on what coffee machine, milk, coffee beans are being used, all these factors make a big difference. There are so many cafes around now, there are really good baristas out there who make a great cup of coffee.
How can you have that delicious coffee at home?
A lot of local cafes/coffee roasters sell coffee beans. You can get those coffee beans grounded which makes it very handy use straight away. Otherwise, you need a coffee grinder, which is pretty noisy. So if you leave for work really early and you need to start grinding the beans at 4:30 am, you will definitely wake everyone up. Before the coffee machines very bulky and expensive.
But now there are heaps of small coffee machines that do the job really well and are not too bulky, can easily sit on the kitchen bench without taking up too much space and are very easy to use. These small machines have a full-sized portafilter where you put the ground coffee beans, pop it on the machine and press the button which does single or double shot according to your preference.
It is a lot cheaper this way you can get ground coffee beans from anywhere, even supermarkets sell them, but it will only be standard coffee beans. If you want decent coffee beans, get them from the cafe you love coffee from. I am pretty sure, they would be selling the beans, they ground the beans for espresso machines if you ask them. Another good thing about these machines is, they froth the milk really nicely that makes a perfect coffee.
I wish I saw the black version of this machine before I bought the silver one. It looks so cool.
They are so many coffee sellers who distribute to local cafes and deliver it to you. Merlo Coffee, Byron bay coffee roasters sell coffee and deliver it for free. There are plenty of other options out there if you go and have a look. Try different blends and find out what suits you.
Remember, no matter how much we love coffee, if we have too much of it, it can cause problems. So it is very important to drink in moderation. When you drink too many coffees they stop doing the job as your body gets used to it. You need more cups of coffee to work on you, so you start having too many. It is good to have a break from coffee every now and then. Otherwise, your body depends on it and needs it like medicine every day or your body doesn't function properly. Whenever you have a bad feeling, you need to switch to Smoothies.
