Cheech and Chong Coffee? Pot in your K-cup

  Pot and coffee is far from a news flash. However with the recent changes in attitudes towards pot. Several capitalist on the west coast have started making pot coffee k-cups, Yahoo Business reports.  One such coffee pod called Catapult retails for $10 each, or $37 for a pack of 6. It contains 10 milligrams of THC, the compound in marijuana that produces a high.    Uncle Ike’s Pot Shop in Seattle, Washington, sells one by the name of Catapult, which has been on the market from early 2015.   The future of pot additions to other products are endless.  More or less if you can eat or drink it sooner or later a pot enhanced version will soon be on the market. The only exception is if it appeals to children the state gets a little strict.   Can an IPhone app be far behind. I can see it now, your new IPhone Watch tells you when your THC levels are getting a little low and you need to take a ...

Will a strong El Nino cause coffee prices to rise?

  The National Weather Service, in March issued an El Niño advisory. The advisory stated that the phenomenon is 90 % likely to last through the summer of 2015 and at least 80 percent likely to continue through the end of the year.    The price of coffee could increase by 107 percent, with the weather effects of a strong El Nino  although others said the average increase typically ranged from 5 to 10 %.   During an El Niño event, waters in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean become warmer than what would be considered as normal as trade winds are lighter, changing what would be thought of as normal weather patterns around the world.     Heavy rains and flooding in the southern U.S. and parts of Latin America, along with droughts in Australia and Asia, would be likely. The recent heavy rain in drought stricken north Texas and Oklahoma  would seem to be a fulfillment of this prediction. ...

How to clean the inside of your k-cup machine.

  You clean the out side of your k-cup machine. So how are you cleaning the inside...or are you?   This is just one way to help keep the inside of your coffee maker as clean as the outside.   You’ll need cleaning wipes, a paper clip, and distilled white vinegar. Use the wipes to clean the front of the machine, especially the handle. The paper clip can get those hard to reach spots inside the pod holder. Then fill the water reservoir with the vinegar. Run the machine, to flush the vinegar out. The acidity in the vinegar will kill the bacteria without harming you. Once the vinegar is out of the reservoir, let the machine sit for four hours. After four hours, fill the reservoir with water and run it about four times to flush out the rest of the vinegar.
