Gourmet Coffees

A brand-new, patented application for coffee featuring the world's only mycotoxin-free whole coffee fruit. This technology creates an exciting high antioxidant, high chlorogenic acid nutritional for beverages, foods and nutraceuticals.

US organic products manufacturer New Chapter is to introduce CoffeeBerry 2500, a whole coffee fruit concentrate, to the North American market under an exclusive license from VDF FutureCeuticals.

New Chapter claims that CoffeeBerry, the whole fruit (including the bean) of the coffee bush, is rich in potent tropical anti-oxidants and rare essential sugars. It is also said to be laden with plant phenolics that protect and nourish the seed.

The third edition, with a publication date of January 2006, has been thoroughly updated and expanded to meet the needs of today's specialty coffee entrepreneur. Thousands of copies of the first and second editions have been sold since the book's original publication in 1997.

Highlights of the new edition include four new chapters, thorough updates of existing material and a CD-ROM of the book’s operational forms, previously only available as an appendix. Financial data contained within the book has been reassessed, making this book a true operational manual.

What is launchmodem? This is a program command to start your modem that you get when you are experiencing problems. I have found that this us usually corrected by doing the following:

1. Unplugging either your wifi router or DSL modem
2. Pour yourself a cup of gourmet coffee
   
3. Plug your wifi router or DSL modem back in

The connection should be re-established after about 1 - 2 minutes. The browser will then launch with the launchmodem keyword by mistake but you can them start surfing.

More great news to support gourmet coffee. Again proving that is not dangerous to your health.


MONDAY, April 24 (HealthDay News) -- Coffee-drinking has no significant impact on the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), according to a study published in the May 2 issue of Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.

Esther Lopez-Garcia, Dr.P.H., of Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, and colleagues conducted a prospective cohort study of 44,005 men and 84,488 women with no history of cardiovascular disease or cancer. They assessed coffee consumption starting in 1986 for men and 1980 for women, and then every two to four years until 2000. Read article excerpt.

McDonald's new premium-roast coffee helped lift U.S. sales in the first quarter. Worldwide same-store sales jumped a better-than-expected 5.3% in March, paced by solid domestic results. U.S. same-store sales surged 6.6 percent in the quarter, adding to three consecutive years of growth

My son decided to use coffee as the basis of his fourth grade science project. I am very proud of him because on his own he decided to study the effect of coffee on blood pressure. I have no idea how he came up with such an interesting study. I am not the kind of parent that will do the project so he can get a good grade and impress his friends. I did help him detail the process on how we gather the data.

So my son, with clip board in hand, took my wife, mother-in-law and I down to our local Wal-Mart store to user their blood pressure measuring machine. We did not drink any coffee before hand so we could get a before coffee and after reading. So we took with us coffee tumblers filled with Blue Mountain Coffee. I thought we could splurge a bit that day.

We tested our blood pressure then walked around the store for 30 minutes drinking our coffee. Then we went back and tested our blood pressure again. We did this on three different days to get good sample data.

The finding surprised me. My son's hypothesis was "Does coffee affect a human's blood pressure" and the science project disproved it. The results did not show an increase overall and for me the reading actually went down.


Since he just turned it in yesterday we will not know his grade for a while but as a proud dad this was an A+ project. I posted the entire Coffee Effect on Blood Pressure Science Project
on the Volcanica Coffee website.

That's all for the quick posts. These are just a list of the various articles and web pages found on the Volcanica Coffee website.
