Ten Secrets of Fine Coffee

1. Caffeine will kill you

But you can't die until you drink 80-100 cups in a row, and health experts warn us not to try.

Coffee is good for your health

Americans get most of their daily antioxidants from the coffee they drink, according to a study. One or two cups of coffee a day is very beneficial. If you don't like coffee, you can drink black tea, which is the second most commonly used source of antioxidants. Bananas, dried beans and corn husks are all among the top five antioxidants in food.

3. Caffeine can increase women's libido.

Although the experiment was carried out on mice. But the researchers say coffee may improve the sexual experience of people who don't use caffeine very often.

Caffeine can relieve pain

Drinking the right amount of coffee (2 cups) can reduce muscle pain after exercise, a small study has found. But this only applies to people who don't drink coffee very often.

Coffee can keep you awake at night.

Health experts recommend drinking coffee six hours before going to bed in order to avoid the effect of coffee.

Decaffeinated coffee also has caffeine!

The study found that if you drink 5 to 10 cups of decaffeinated coffee, it is equivalent to drinking 1 or 2 cups of regular coffee.

7. Decaf is a chemical used

Coffee is steamed to dissolve caffeine and float on the surface, and then an organic solution called dichloromethane (methylene chloride) is used to remove caffeine.

Caffeine is not the source of bitterness in coffee

Caffeine is not the main compound that causes the bitterness of coffee. Rather, the ingredient that causes this irritating bitterness is antioxidants.

Excellent coffee depends on roasting and brewing

Coffee should have a good taste, which boils down to roasting and brewing. During baking, the oil in the coffee beans begins to take off when the temperature reaches 400 degrees. The more oil you take out, the better the taste of the coffee. The amount of caffeine increases with time in contact with water, so regular coffee often contains more caffeine than espresso and cappuccino. Black coffee also has more caffeine.

10. Coffee was found by goats

On the hillside of Africa more than a thousand years ago, a flock of sheep of shepherds could go up the mountain at night after enjoying the red coffee fruit. The shepherd told the monk what he had found, and then the monk could have a longer prayer meeting. This should be a good story, isn't it?
