Life without coffee…

By mbaroz

How many times when you offer someone a coffee  you hear i don’t drink coffee (on rare occasions that is )?

and you raise a brow and say to yourself ” hm strange .. how anyone can not drink coffee?”

Is it just a stigma that everyone should drink coffee? or just a habit ?

We can assume that at least most of us do drink coffee at least twice a day , which makes it over 700 times a year!!and most of it at home , while sitting to relax and watch TV finally , and of course first thing in the morning .

if we realize how many times in our life time we do the same action of preparing our coffee at home , we would also realize that we need to make that action easier and more convinient for us.

One of the more common ways today to make it easier , is to store our coffee near the stove or near the coffee machine, and in recent years we start storing our coffee in dispensers that meant to keep it fresh and handy.

Ground Coffee dispenser become more accessible, more popular, and much more decorative than those tins on the counter, more over it makes the process much easier, and more pleasant (not to mention our guest compliments).

so to sum it all , we all can make our daily experiences more pleasant and easier to reach.

why coffee dispensers at home ?

By mbaroz

It is becoming more and more common practice these days to pay attention to the little details in life.

Is it because we expose ourselves to a wider knowledge base that is readily available with the information highway? Or it is just because we truly became better consumers for ourselves and learn how to develop better taste for finer things in life.

Or maybe it is the combination of both, take for example out wider knowledge in consumer electronics, we learn all the pros and cons of every appliance we interested in , by searching the specs and reading reviews on line, which is another way of developing a better knowledge and liking to the better things in life.

The same can be said for anything else we inquire about, even the simplest, like our coffee habits, if we drink it in the morning or at night , we do have our own specific taste, we like it a certain kind, we enjoy it in a certain temperature, and we want it ready in an instant.

That is the main reasons for developing accessories that will allow us easy access, like a designer coffee dispenser on our kitchen counter, just like our designer shades we hang over our windows, or the certain brand dish washer we install, and the list goes on and on.

Coffee trends and Home Coffee dispenser in particular becoming more and more part of our daily life, and it is an important detail in our kitchen for many good reasons.

is it a laxury ? or… a way of life ?…

By mbaroz

i must admit that i drink  coffee at least 4 times a day in a “slow day ” , different kind , but 4 times , ifm it is instant  with milk in the morning , or black and espresso in the afternoon and night , or even after every meal of the day.

i am sure many others practice that same practice every day of their lives ….  did coffee become part of our life ? i would tend to believe so as we all do it subconsciously on a daily basis , we  invent and build coffee shops, some even very fency ones , we go the end of the earth to grow the best coffee  some of them cost a fortune just to buy, i have heard of one very special coffee that was found in the Tibetan mountains that cost about $300 a pound , now there is coffee for you fox!!

we create all the accessories around coffe , coffee dispenser, fancy espresso machines , coffee beans dispenser, and much more , all for the pleasure pof having our cup of coffee on an average of 3 to 5 times a day.

Now,  there is anyone out there that can argue that coffee has not become part of our daily life?? and now can be a real WAY of life for us …

latt’e Anyone ?

By mbaroz

Latt’e anyone ? how many times a day we hear that  ?

Some of us that live around coffee (which is most of us in the work force)  hear that question so many times a day , we go down to the deli or to the corner coffee shop to get everyone a cup of coffee , espresso, or latt’e to boost up our day … so why we can’t  make it  a more pleasant experience socializing with our work pears and people we know better , especially in the colder months , hanging in the coffee room in the office where our coffee dispenser located instead of going out in the cold dealing with lines and crowd wasting valuable time JUST to get a cup of COFFEE  that we probably can make better in the office if we equipped with the right accessories such as espresso machine and coffee dispenser.

Come to think of it EVERY employer or any company should actually create a coffee center at work with the appropriate machines , not only to boost the moral and social interaction between co-workers , BUT also to boost work and save on Break Time  while our employees can be productive   NOT only at their desks BUT mostly by talking and socializing about work with  co-workers  (after all what else co-workers going to discuss? WORK of course ) and efficient way for any company to boost up their work force in a more productive manner.

When coffee becomes too much coffee for us …??

By mbaroz

I am sure we all had that kind of a feeling at one time or more even , where we felt that we overdose on coffee that day …why we actually even do that ? and when it becomes enough for one day ??

Did we ever even ask ourselves that question ? are we doing it for enjoying every cup of coffee ? or we are already in the mode of habit?

we already know how much we can  enjoy the morning coffee and even the one after each meal…but there are those that out of boredom or nervous habits, run to the coffee machine in the office every 2 hours during the day, and when we finally have time to relax when we get home in front of the TV , and after dinner , we say  Oyyy we had so much coffee today we can not even enjoy one more cup!!!!!     however there are those the portion their coffee the way they can enjoy every cup no matter what , their desire comes out of the “need” or urge they feel for the taste  not for the fixation , they take pleasure in  pouring it out their coffee dispenser,preparing it, smelling it while its being made, and most of all tasting it  while saying:  ” wow i needed that cup of coffee so badly “…..  so each one of us is categorized in his own category for that matter ….which i call the coffee lovers category or the habit of coffee category….

Is it only a trend ? or a way of life ..?

By mbaroz

We all agree  that coffee  became bigger than life in recent years , and everywhere we turn there is more than enough coffee shops , every library or a news stand today carries coffee… the  question asked is coffee only a trend ? or really a way of life in modern days ?

I think since we created so many accessories and tools to make our coffee a pleasant experience , and since it is a “trend” that only developed and still growing so strongly in recent years it had become a real way of life , just like any other necessity in our daily life …..

When Coffee Became REAL COFFEE?

By mbaroz

I am sure many of us remember coffee  when it was JUST  coffee , not a way of life or even a style in modern days.

Then came the coffee shop , that would add a social activity and a place to hang and meet others , and i am sure we all hang out these days Mostly in coffee shops and not so much in Bars , our way of life changed with the times , now we have famous coffee places all over the world, such as Starbucks coffee, Aroma Espresso Bar,  and even the Mom and Pop coffee shops we have in our neighborhoods.

So why go out of our way to have a good cup of coffee when  we can prepare it and have it at home at anytime we feel  like ? and why not make it even easier with our coffee Machines , and coffee dispenser handy  and ready to make ?  We all deserve to have our important little things in life so close by and handy.

Home made coffee that is better than a coffee shop..?

By mbaroz

We all have a belief that the coffee we drink at a coffee shop is always better than the one we can make at home….

Well it is all depends how much time and effort we are willing to invest in our own cup of coffee, and the accessories we are willing to invest in….for example if we have a good espresso machine sitting on the counter , all we need to do in the morning is pour  the right portion of coffee from our coffee dispenser, place it into the coffee machine, let it run while we broth the milk, and in a matter of minutes we have a great tasty cup of coffee prepared just the way we like it.

If some of us not as fancy, we can simply pour it from the dispenser into the cup , add a spoon of water and mix it well or beat it with a spoon for 2 min minutes to create a foamy top for better taste..it is my own  little receipt for a fast and good coffee in the morning, and all that stigma about “our home coffee can never taste the same”  is an old tale without a head even ….. try it at home and enjoy!!!

whats in the coffee?

By mbaroz

After all we always like to grade everything in our life , “that was a great dinner ” or  “the eggs were overcooked” or even ” you had done a great job with your garden” and in the same context we grade our coffee few times every day , since most of us drink coffee more than once a day, and it does not matter where and when, we always have some kind of remarks for the important things that takes place in our daily life, good or bad, such as “that coffee was too weak or too strong”  or  “this coffee need some kick in it ” etc. however the bottom line is we always grade mostly our coffee experiences on a daily basis, and we all agree that at least for coffee there are certain qualities that make our coffee differ from another , if it is the way we grow and process our coffee , or it is the way we store it , or even if it is  the way we grind it.  so as humans when we care so much about something in life, we go out of our way to make it better for us , it is just like taking a shower every morning … we want our bathroom to look nice and feel pleasant , and we invest lots of money and effort in it , and we do the same for coffee. that is why we create coffee shops , buy coffee machines , even set timers to make it easier and faster to process it in the rush of the morning…. how many of us prepare our coffee machines the night before?  that way we make if faster in the morning ?? i am sure many do…..so if we pay such attention to our coffee, why not make it a true exceptional experience by keeping it fresh at all times? why not make the process of making coffee an easy and pleasant one just like any other things we do in life?  in addition we can add another decorative accessory to our kitchen counter such as  a coffee dispenser next to the coffee machine, or a coffee bean dispenser next to the coffee grinder that we can use on a regular basis, after all those make our coffee experience much better, and a enjoyable one. share your coffee experiences with us … here or at the links above…

Coffee and Romance ?

By mbaroz

Most of us  sub consciously mix Coffee  and Romance.   we go on first dates “for Coffee” , we relax with our partners at home or out , over a cup of coffee, and we even discuss coffee together after having a cup/…

how many times we heard or said “Oh that Coffee was horrible , wait till we get home and i make you a good cup”!!   OR  “that was a great cup of coffee , i should ask what kind they use”  OR  even “oh that coffee  was not fresh grind i will pick up a good cup on my way to work” etc etc….  so we serenaded by Coffee , coffee lovers, coffee talk, and we must admit  that COFFEE became in the last few years an important and integral part of our daily life , so why not put the effort to improve it if we can and make it a general rule to always try and enjoy a good cup of COFFEE we can make ourselves?
