Latte art... grandmother sayes it playing in your food.

    It's a cool fall day and you are taking you grandmother on a flea market hunt.
You decide to treat her to a special cup of coffee you know she would never get on her own.
   The counter is busy as usual, but you know it's worth the time.
Your turn finally. Your usual?  The server asks. Yes please and one for my grandmother also.
   Right away she replies.
Moments later two hot latte's complete with art and all.
   What's this? Grandmother says. It's coffee..latte you reply.
I can't drink this!
   But why? You ask.
Someone's been playing in it grandmother says.....someone drew a picture in it.
   You smile and begin to explain, but before you get a word out Grandmother is scolding the server on why not to play in your food.
   You think to yourself... Next time it's mini mart coffee and go.

Perhaps second only to the never ending political unrest in many coffee growing regions.

Used coffee grounds can help stop global warming.

  With the environment in the news lately. Here is one you didn't see coming. Used coffee grounds are very good at storing Methane.   Methane is a global warming gas many times more potent that carbon dioxide.With Methane having one advantage over Carbon Dioxide. That is Methane can be used as a fuel.   The process to make this work is relative simple with the moist used coffee grounds being heated with potassium hydroxide.   So who cares you may be asking yourself. While It's not likely your local power company will be digging around in your trash ben for your used coffee grounds in order to capture and store their Methane emissions.   Some smaller producers of Methane emissions may have some interest. Many oil wells also produce small amounts of natural gas. The volume of gas is so small that it's uneconomical to lay the needed pipe in order to place this gas into the natural gas lines that heat your home. So this g...
