  Coffee is like wine in many ways. From the region where the beans were grown. To the soil conditions, overall climate, all have huge impact on the final taste that millions of us enjoy every day.

   From the cup of Joe we get at the local mini mart or truck stop, to the high dollar (don't spill a drop) blend from the most remote place on the planet.

  So to all of you coffee lovers cheers and enjoy. Who knows coffee may some day be taboo as tobacco some day.

Weather /climate change and your coffee

Weather unpredictability/climate change is a leading factor in  future coffee prices. Making the small coffee grower looking to expand their land used to cultivate coffee.    Felling of rain forests will accelerate current trends in a changing climate. adding even more unpredictability to coffee supplies and future prices.   With the current world price at 90 cents a pound is making profitability in many countries nearly impossible With production cost at about $1.50 per pound.   The shortest answer is to grow more coffee witch takes more land, ,fewer trees, more c02, additional climate effects .   Climate change and general weather unpredictability are one of the driving forces in the roller coaster ride coffee prices are having and will likely continue to have in the foreseeable  future. Perhaps second only to the never ending political unrest in many coffee growing regions. 

Blind Coffee Chain Taste Test

Frappe recipe

  Frappé No, we’re not talking about the stuff from Starbucks. Frappé is a traditional ice coffee drink from Greece and was actually invented by a local representative for Nescafe in the 1950s. As such, the recipe uses instant coffee (traditionally Nescafe), milk, sugar, and water, and can be made using a blender, a cocktail shaker, or electric milk frothier, so there are multiple ways to prepare it at home. First, put equal parts instant coffee and sugar (about two teaspoons of each) and then about a third of a cup of cold water into your mixer/shaker of choice. Blend or shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until the mixture is really frothy, pour into a glass with ice cups, and top with milk. People usually drink with a straw, as the frothy top part of the drink can be a bit bitter to some, but the blended part at the bottom makes for a refreshing beverage perfect for mornings or lazy afternoons. And you can always adjust the measurements to your taste.
