If you’re a coffee lover, you’re probably always looking for a new brew and coffee to try. Or, for anyone new to the coffee world or set in their ways, you might be seeking a different but easy way of brewing delicious coffee.  That’s

                       

            

If you’re unsure whether you should be drinking organic coffee, we have some news you don’t want to miss.  There are many benefits to consuming organic coffee instead of products grown from chemically treated soil that can ultimately make you sick. Here we will highlight the top five we feel are the most important.

What makes a delicious cup of fresh roasted coffee even better? Adding a bit of Kahlúa, of course!   If you enjoy your coffee morning, noon, or night, hot or cold, dark or light, then you will also love the smooth, rich, creamy, sweet taste of Kahlúa in your cup.

            

            

Watching a barista grind, tamp, load and then let superheated water do its whistling work is something to look forward to. The rhythm, smell and sound of the espresso-making ritual forms a kind of dance that’s a pleasure to experience, as well as a lovely prelude to a delicious drink.

                          

Coffee is Ethiopia’s biggest export. It produces almost a billion pounds of coffee per year and over a tenth of its citizens work in coffee production. The word "coffee" even derives from Kaffa – the name of a place in the southwestern Ethiopian Highlands where coffee was first discovered.

It won’t come as a surprise to many that coffee contains caffeine. That’s a big part of the reason why people drink it: there’s nothing like a good cup of joe to wake you up in the morning. Of course, it’s delicious, too.

Our customers occasionally ask about mycotoxins – toxic chemicals that are the products of moulds on agricultural crops.  They probably would never have started asking about them if Bulletproof Coffee Company hadn’t centered a marketing campaign around their mycotoxin-free coffee.

‘Fair Trade’. You see these words on packaging, along with ‘Certified Organic’. It’s something that we all like the sound of, but what does it really mean? Coffee is such a big part of most every morning that we rarely stop to think about where it comes from, or who grows it.

Once upon a time, all coffee was organically grown. Even when chemical fertilizers came on the scene, coffee continued to be organically grown for many decades. Since coffee bushes love shade, they were traditionally planted under existing forest canopy – an arrangement that worked well. The majority, if not all organic coffee, is still shade-grown. 

Light, medium or dark roast? All coffee drinkers have their favourites, but many don’t know why—they just know when they like something. So I thought I would explain how roasting affects your favourite cup.

Over the years, I've taken many trips where I've been disappointed with the terrible coffee offered in hotels – especially the in room coffee. The last thing you want when you first wake up on vacation is bad coffee – yuck! Luckily, it's never been easier to make great coffee yourself while on the road. All you need are a few simple things.
