About Coffee - didn't know this!

Do caffeinated and decaf coffee have the same health benefits?

The health benefits found for drinking decaf coffee are similar to that of caffeinated coffee, including a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, some cancers and overall mortality. More recently, coffee has been linked with improved weight management over time.

Most of the health benefits have been shown by drinking three cups of decaf per day.

Moderation is key, and remember that the greatest health benefits will come from having a balanced diet.

Proper coffee first thing in the morning stops you from killing people :)

& if you hand grind beans (just bought a new grinder) it is part of the ritual of stopping one actually killing people. One can emulate the process!

Decaffeinating coffee is like gutting a rabbit, throwing away the carcass and then eating the guts....(you still get the taste of rabbit.)

"Soy milk" is plant JUICE .....milk comes from mammary glands.

"No sugar" the high spot in that Order. Good coffee made correctly is not bitter .....sugar is a contaminate used to try and make poorly made/bad coffee palatable.

I don't agree that the use of sugar is constrained to poor coffee. Personally I have been drinking coffee without sugar now for 20-30 years. In fact, now that I prefer it that way, if someone put half a teaspoon of sugar in my coffee I would probably not drink it. Quality of the coffee us irrelevant.

It is the increasing desire for much of the population for everything to be sweet. Uggh.

I have a great tee shirt with the following comment on it:

A balanced diet is a beer in both hands!!!!

Sounds very scientific to me!

If you want a Nespresso on the road without taking up space you only need pods, hot water and one of these.

My youngest gave me one for Xmas. 

It's very good.

A second vote for the Wacaco.

Just bought one that takes my CafeItaly or Aldi KFee pods.

Works great and no mess. Just use my Bellman as a steamer now when away.

70 ml wouldn't wet the whistle!!

 

Can it be set up and kept hot for a few hours?

i.e., is it anyway insulated?

 

Is there a larger model?

Just found the :

Cuppamona

Pipamoka

One of them says that it keeps the brew hot for a couple of hours.


All seem a bit fiddly and tiny compared with the small plungers available.

I don't know about a bigger model b, or an insulated one.

As per pod coffee, I prefer to drink them straight away.

I have a couple of Yeti insulated cups that do the long haul drinks..
