No Mas 'Americano'?!

Coffee Around the World, in case you are tired of the 'Americano'

Buzzfeed always provides the best hacks and videos for almost anything. I cannot tell you how happy I get and how many times I wanted to run to the bathroom from laughing so much over the most hilarious videos.....ever! 
So as I woke up this morning, and surprisingly I'm up before 10am, I go to my little kitchen and prepare the Italian Espresso. I look out the window and see all the people driving out of their driveways and off they go to be stuck in traffic and rush against time.
I'm lucky I can work from home at times which lets me concentrate on my projects and ideas and drink as much free coffee as I want, and with great quality. 
I open Facebook, Twitter, Emails, and switch the TV on for any updating news. It seems I have an easy life right? I wish... 
No, I just happen to open those websites to procrastinate on some work emails I need to respond and apartment searching on Craigslist. 
So then I run through Facebook and I see this!
I posted an international guide for those of you who are traveling, lucky, but this video shows you how to prepare just a few of the greatest coffee's around the world!!! 
I'm already eyeing the Irish Coffee!

The Psychology of Coffee / La Psicología del Café

Tengo una Licenciatura en Psicología y he aprendido mucho acerca de los efectos y los disparadores la cafeína tiene sobre el cuerpo. Sé que a muchos les interesará leer pequeñas cosas acerca de la "intencionalidad" de café.
Aparte de los gustos y el azúcar que nos encanta añadir, la gran cosa acerca de café es el beneficio en nosotros que son los funciones del cerebro. La hormona asociada a este "sentirse bien" es la famosa dopamina que de verdad muy similar a la cocaína y el éxtasis.
El café es consumido como una sustancia psicoactiva en el mundo y los psicólogos están haciendo la pregunta a los consumidores: "significa esto que anhelamos la excitación?"
El novelista francés dijo en su libro "Honoré de Balzac": "este café se sumerge en el estómago... la mente se despierta, y ideas pour adelante como los batallones del gran ejército en el campo de batalla...Recuerdos de carga al galope... la caballería ligera de comparaciones se autoactualiza magníficamente; la artillería de la lógica prisa con su tren de municiones; destellos de ingenio pop-up como tiradores agudos".
Básicamente esta es una buena explicación de "Adicción", esta taza caliente bebemos casi todos los días son algo que nos hace sentir bien porque toca todos los sistemas sensibles en nuestro cerebro. Pero ten cuidado, que esto es muy similar a las sensaciones de cocaína y marihuana incluso. Así que beber con responsabilidad mis amigos.

I have Bachelors in Psychology and I have learned many of the effects caffeine takes on the body. I know many people are interested in reading the effects and interesting facts in terms of coffee. Apart from the sugar intakes and the different likes many have on the beverage, but also there is the grand benefit caffeine has on our brain.
The hormone that is usually associated as the “feel good” sensation is the famous dopamine that actually is quite similar to cocaine and ecstasy. Coffee is the most widely consumed psychoactive and psychologists are asking the question, “Does this mean we crave the excitement?”
The French novelist once said in his book “Honore de Balzac”: “"This coffee plunges into the stomach...the mind is aroused, and ideas pour forth like the battalions of the Grand Army on the field of battle.... Memories charge at full gallop...the light cavalry of comparisons deploys itself magnificently; the artillery of logic hurry in with their train of ammunition; flashes of wit pop up like sharp-shooters." 

Basically this is a good explanation for Addiction, this cup we consume almost everyday is something that makes us feel good because it touches our sensations in our brain. But be careful, because it can lead similarly to the same sensations as cocaine or marijuana even. So drink responsibly my friends.
