ALL ABOUT COFFEE

We're publishing our first casual edition! We are ecstatic (well some of us) to announce the first topic will be coffee. In this edition our writers will cover everything about coffee that you didn't need, to know. We hope you like it!

PANDORA

If you’re one of those coffee lovers looking for room decor that sings your personality, you should definitely try your hand at coffee painting! The delicious brown is so soothing and the best part is it smells amazing. Like watercolor or any heavy kind of painting, the only setback is that you need to use a special thick paper so that it doesn’t bleed through. You can get this paper on amazon or at your local art store so no need to fear! If you’re not sure what to paint then look at some ideas on Pinterest!

Lots of love,

Pandora

DIVINUS

Coffee. The awe-inspiring liquid that took some souls with just a sniff. While it caused others to drown. For you peasants who didn't understand, what I said was 'Some people like coffee. Others don't.' Some meaning your dear author, Divinus, of course.

Coffee has always been a constant factor in my life. Maybe it's because I was warned that it was far from healthy, or perhaps it was the fact that not one of my peers, whom I had met, drank coffee. It was absurd. Sure, they might idolize it. But they never really drank coffee And god no, don't get me started on the whole 'Coffee Rush' ideology. I'm not really sure if it's just me but, I've never felt any adrenaline rush or even the slightest bit of energy from the substance. Am I making my coffee wrong or something, please let me know since it has never made me feel energetic in the mornings?

Coffee... just tastes wistful. Like that cold morning where you just wanted to stay in bed, or when you needed to submit an assignment and were doing it in the class before. Like nostalgia. The good kind.

Look what I'm trying to say is, if y'all don't like coffee I will hunt you down and threaten you (cutely) and run you over with my daisy rimmed Beatle uwu. That was a joke. Made for comedic purposes. I think.

Carpe diem,

Divinus

APRIL

I love coffee. But for me, the heavenly, yet addictive, liquid can only be perfected by adding all the sugar you can possibly find. The other people who love coffee, the normal ones. might like it in many different ways; especially from mismatched places. But all the cups of coffee still originated from one particularly special plant. As much as I like my own methods of making coffee, and possibly risking diabetes,I’m quite curious to see the varying coffees drank across the Earth. With that being written here are three unique ways coffee is made around the world.

Kaffeost Coffee- Finland: Hot coffee with cheese curds is drank in Finland. That might be the strangest food combination I’ve heard, but to each their own.

Café Touba- Senegal: Café Touba is a style of coffee popular in Senegal. The beverage is made with Guinea pepper and sometimes with cloves. The spices are mixed in with the coffee beans and then roasted so it must be flavorful.

Türk kahvesi (Turkish Coffee)- Turkey: Turkish coffee is a type of coffee made using finely ground coffee beans without filtering. Meaning they drink it with the grounds.

Those were interesting but I think I'd rather stick to my sugary kind of coffee. Oh and, if you dare disagree that tea is better than coffee I'll join Divinus in running you over, cutely.

Sincerely,

April

Coffee is a necessity, a need, and a habit. Many can’t start their day without a cup of coffee or they’ll feel and look like the walking dead. Once you’ve been having coffee for a while its becomes an addiction. With addiction comes positive and negative impacts. People tend to drink coffee because it calms them down, coffee has become more than just a source of caffeine. It improves your alertness, working memory and leads to a healthy mind. While taken in high doses it can mess with your sleep schedule (if you have one unlike me), increase nervousness and restlessness, and increases blood pressure. So don’t overdose on your intake of coffee.

When you ask a person who drinks tea to write about coffee this is what you get I suppose.

Love,

Estrella

SUMMER

“A coffee a day keeps the grumpy away”, coffee it's just a drink made from roasted coffee beans but how does it have more that 20 million people drinking coffee everyday?. Coffee contains caffeine that tends to give us more energy as well as giving us better physical performance . But you can't really hate coffee cause it has nearly 25 million farmers depending on it for their economic livelihood. This prodigious drink has many variations, the most expensive type of coffee is black ivory which can cost $1000-$1500 per pound. That is a lot of money for a pound of coffee beans, but some people wont think twice before purchasing this because coffee has become a staple. Here’s a cheesy joke on coffee(just so this isn't boring): Why was the man happy when he bought himself a top high range coffee maker online? Because it had a lot of perks in it!

Love,

Summer

SPECTRE

Ever had those days when you wake up and forget your morning coffee, go right about with your day. And God! I bet you felt so damn drowsy the entire time that you never got any work done and almost fell asleep right there at least 5 times. Ending up as a cranky, whiny, hot headed mess. Well guess what? It ain't just you. We all have our moments. But ever wonder how that oh so helpful and miraculous elixir was made? I'm just gonna tell you. The two most important types of coffee grown (and yes coffee does in fact grow on trees) are Robusta and Arabica there is another type called Liberica which makes up a fairly small percentage. Now of course you can’t just pick leaves from the plant and instantly brew it to make coffee (if only it were that easy) it's a process. First the plant grows cherries and these cherries contain seeds, the coffee bean. The cherries are spread out in the sun on large concrete or brick patios this is done to remove the thick outer layer that surrounds the coffee bean. At this point you’ll probably be left with green seeds, and yes they might not look like much now but just you wait after a series of roasting and grinding you’ll be left with something of true excellency. When the bean is roasted the aroma and that characteristic coffee edge is formed, a very flavorful complexion I might add. Along with the signature brown tint that makes coffee coffee, because let's be real here no one would be drinking coffee if it looked all green like a watered down version of kale smoothie That's mostly what consists in the production of coffee. In most cases they leave it at that and the beans are packaged and sold but the beans can’t be infused into a liquid directly. They are ground first, this takes place in you guessed it! A coffee grinder. However the grind size isn't always the same it varies depending on the type of coffee for intended use (espresso machine, filter brew, instant coffee)

So to sum up that's how we get our coffee folks and well next time you go to Starbucks or your local hub for coffee think of how much pain you’ve put that soul coffee bean through. Or just forget the fact you wrote an entire article about it and go back to drinking tea like the tea loving fool you are.

Yours truly,

Spectre
