    Sweet Versus Bitter Blends:

    Coffee and the Afterlife

    You know, I got to thinking about this this morning, and I did a quick Google, but I couldn't find it. I thought for sure somewhere I saw that coffee was used by some ancient cultures in rituals, but that they also "sent some off" to the after life when they prepared their deceased. I know...

    Best Coffee for relaxation?

    I know coffee is considered an "upper" but has anyone here used to relax? I'm thinking if you add some chocolate and some milk, it could be quite soothing. What are some of your best "relaxing" coffee recipes? (Oh and FYI, cheese in the coffee is NOT advisable).....

    Storing coffee in the Refrigerator/Freezer

    Got a question for you. Now, some say that sometimes to keep coffee fresh longer they will store the coffee in the refrigerator or even the freezer, does this have any adverse effects? I could see maybe moisture being an issue perhaps? Does anyone here store their coffee in a refrigerator or...
