History of our Powerful and Delicious Bean.

It's a fine history to look over the centuries of how a bean has created an impact so overwhelming to the world, it is one of the most popular iconic images today.
Coffee.
The growth of a green bean and roasted to create a black liquid is sought out by most adult workers and needed to enhance energy to run the day. But why does this Black Cup seem so popular for industries, fashion, and everyday lifestyle?
"Uncommon Grounds tells the story of coffee from its discovery on a hill in ancient Abyssinia to the advent of Starbucks. In this updated edition of the classic work, Mark Pendergrast reviews the dramatic changes in coffee culture over the past decade, from the disastrous “Coffee Crisis” that caused global prices to plummet to the rise of the Fair Trade movement and the “third-wave” of quality-obsessed coffee connoisseurs. As the scope of coffee culture continues to expand, Uncommon Grounds remains more than ever a brilliantly entertaining guide to the currents of one of the world’s favorite beverages."

Fix the Sip! 5 Reasons why your Coffee Taste Bad!

5 Reasons why your Coffee Taste Bad! 

Yes, ladies and gentlemen you all know what I am speaking of, the mystery from comparisons to the latte at Pete's Coffee & Tea or Starbucks to the mug at home. I have pondered on the thought of resisting the urge to walk to Starbucks to simply spend $3.45 on a cafe I can make for Free at home. The issue is all over us people and we need to create a revolution....ok not a revolution but a solution. :) 

So I decided to research some things that can possibly be a solution to the sad sad feeling of having sour coffee in the morning to pretty much make your day... well sour. I make coffee every morning with the Italian Espresso Maker, plus I also have the French Press from Starbucks and of course the 12-cup Coffee Maker for guests...if I ever get that in my studio. Obsession to get that perfect taste is a challenge I am ready to take on! But as I have the "Oh-so Happy" feeling in me every morning, not really, I make that coffee with the Italian Espresso. I add Soy and Agave to the cup and stir with a thrill it will send chills down my spine.......nope, not there.

So I Googled, what other option is there. 

According to TheKitchn.com, there are 5 common reasons people will nag and complain about their Kup of Joy. 

1. Coffee Beans are Stale.... Excuse me?
1. Buy Fresh Beans, invest in a Grinder which will give that fresh grind-ness taste.
2.  Store the beans in the Pantry
2. Experiment with Different Roasts
1. People have their preferences about that one Brand of Coffee, but there is nothing wrong on cheating with your Brand with another. ;)
2. Go from Dark, Medium, Light and see what is your sense in the roast level.
3. Clean your Materials
1. A simple and easy thing I think most people will understand, having clean equipment is important to make sure the taste is pure and smooth.
2. Clean after every use to avoid leaving residue and that metal taste behind.
4. For the 12-cup Coffee Makers
1. Do not leave the pot on the warm plate too long, it will burn and the taste will be long gone.
5. Water Quality
1. Most important, believe it or not the purity of the water is what creates that taste in the beginning.
2. Evident because it is a water based drink, so used bottle water or purified water to create that quality taste. 

Well, that is what I see as the solution to the problematic irritation of sour and regretful coffee in the morning. So go on my Dear Friends and experiment with various roasts and preparations as I know you all faced this issue and would like that quality taste similar to the coffee shops you spend money on.
