Enjoy better coffee

Although coffee has the amazing capacity of giving you an energy boost every morning, sometimes it’s not enough to make things easier at work. However, the right flavour and design will cheer a dull beginning of the day and can make you more optimistic.

Regardless of the way you like your coffee, if you drink it at work or at home, you don’t have to wait for somebody to do it for you. Everybody can enjoy a good hot cappuccino or espresso or a cold frappe if some tips from experts are taken into consideration.

A professional coffee maker, like those from www.coffeedorks.com, can be used at home or at the office with the same easiness and cool results. Of course, like in every other area, there are some tricks that will turn the process of making coffee into art.

1. A better quality is guaranteed when you roast your own beans

You’ll find the tools you need for this in a coffee shop, as well as indications on the process.

1. Fancy drinks will be very appreciated by your friends and family, so learn how to make them

Lokesh Dakar has created a diagram that will help beginners learn how the most popular types of coffee are made. Look it up and start practising!

1. By using a French press you’ll get more taste than by using a machine filter
2. A “trial run” will help you prepare a better drip coffee
3. A good home-brewed coffee is obtained by using beans

In this case, the product should be kept in proper conditions. Also, look for stores who roast beans on the spot and keep them at room temperature, preferably in an airtight container.

1. Coffee gives you plenty of energy, so drink it before you start exercising or running

Of course, you should do this if you work out in the morning and not during the evening, otherwise you’ll have sleeping problems. Furthermore, don’t forget to drink a lot of water, because coffee has dehydrating properties.

1. Learn more about caffeine levels and make sure you consider them when you make your own hot drink

According to Jerry Baldwin, Starbuck’s co-founder, “Robusta” beans hold twice the caffeine as “Arabica”. Also, “dark roast” doesn’t mean anything when you’re talking about coffee and a cup of espresso can contain more caffeine than a drip coffee. It all depends on the beans’ quality and amount.

1. Coffee grounds can be used in many practical ways around the house.Also, it is very effective when used in beauty treatments – natural scrub, anti-cellulite and more.
2. It’s easier to get through hot summer days with a cold-brew iced coffee.
3. For an optimistic touch, you can decorate your own lattes. It’s not very complicated. You can find many inspirational photos online, on Flickr and in tutorials.
