How Many Calories Are In Your Morning Coffee?
and Is your morning caffeine fix making you fat?
Your daily coffee stop is probably not helping your diet. A lot of us stop by our local Starbucks on the way to work for a cup of coffee. While coffee itself barely has any calories, everything we add to it can pack on the unnecessary calories.
If the morning lines at every Dunkin’ Donuts are telling us anything, a lot of people are masking the coffee taste with flavors and syrups, replacing coffee with calories as their daily caffeine intake. Did you know that a frappuccino can have up to 680 calories!? That’s over a third of your daily calorie intake; I won’t be ordering any mint chocolatey chip frappuccinos any time soon!
The ever-popular pumpkin spice latte, available seasonally, has 410 calories in it. If you are craving this fall treat, at least hold the whipped cream, and lower the calorie count to 340. If Dunkin Donuts is your morning stop, a small coffee with cream and sugar will only set you back 120 calories, but that’s still 120 calories for a drink that won’t even fill you up.

All About Espresso Cups
by admin
True espresso drinkers are the ones who will be more likely to make a big deal out of the cup or drinking glass that their espresso is in! However, if you’re an average individual who simply prefers the taste of espresso over other coffee beverages then you may not care all that much about the specific cups that your espresso sits in.
However, in other countries besides the US espresso cups are actually thought to be more of an art than anything else. For example, in Italy and parts of Europe espresso cups are hand made. If you are enthusiastic about drinking espresso then finding the right kind of espresso cups is probably pretty important to how you drink the beverage. In addition, however, buying a set of espresso glasses is also a great gift that can be given to avid coffee and espresso drinkers. Here are a few tips that go along with buying espresso cups, though, that pretty much everyone should be aware about:
The Quality of Espresso Cups
The first and foremost issue that you’ll want to be concerned with is the quality of the espresso cups that you buy. There are definitely all different types of espresso cups that can be bought, including sturdy plastic, glass, among other materials, but the best quality material that is frequently chosen for espresso beverage cups is porcelain. Not only have porcelain cups been a tradition throughout many countries down through the ages, but making the cups has been an art in and of itself!

Fresh Coffee Every Morning From Automatic Coffeemakers
by admin
If you, like many other people, depend upon that first cup of coffee to get you going in the morning, then you need to look at automatic coffeemakers.
How many times each week does your alarm go off, you stumble into the kitchen to try to find the filters, and coffee to start the coffeemaker before you begins your shower. Is there a better way?
The automatic coffee maker is the better way. You simply add everything the night before, set the timer and wake up to the smell of fresh brewed coffee.
These automatic machines offer many differing features. If only fresh ground coffee is your choice, then choose a coffeemaker that has a built in grinder. Other coffee makers feature built in water filters.
