]]>Get Rid Of The Smell
Even if you wipe away all of the debris, your coffee maker still may have some of the old coffee odor lingering behind once you’re done. One easy way to eliminate this smell is by mixing water and distilled white vinegar and pouring it into the carafe. Allow the concoction to soak in the coffee machine for up to an hour before pouring it out.
Natural Remedies
If you’re worried about putting artificial and toxic ingredients into your coffee maker, then there are still plenty of digestible ingredients you can use for cleaning.

]]>It Makes You Anxious
The truth is that coffee really isn’t good for a great deal of people. From a mental standpoint, many report that coffee can help trigger anxiety, so it’s completely normal if that’s the case with you.
Stomach Issues
In addition to mental factors, there’s also the physical aspect to consider. For people that have various stomach bugs frequently, coffee can really not be a friend to their system, and if that’s the case with you, then maybe you should avoid it as well.

]]>The post What’s Healthier: Real Coffee or Instant Coffee? appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>Real Coffee
Real Coffee, or brewed coffee, is the classic way to get your caffeine fix. It’s made from ground coffee beans and brewed through various methods like a drip coffee maker or French press. One of the advantages of real coffee is that it often tastes richer and more aromatic. From a health perspective, it contains more antioxidants, which can help fight off harmful molecules in your body.
(@denocampo)Instant Coffee
On the other hand, instant coffee is a convenient and quicker option. It’s made by freeze-drying brewed coffee, turning it into a powder that you can mix with hot water. Okay, so it’s more inconvenient, but from a health perspective it doesn’t have as many antioxidants as real coffee. So the answer is pretty clear: instant is technically less healthy than brewed coffee, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go for it if you’re seeking convenience!

]]>Trust Your Barista
The person behind the counter knows more than you realize. Your barista has been well-versed on how to make coffee—particularly Starbucks’ own menu—and likely has a passion for the caffeinated liquid. Tell them what you enjoy and they’ll be sure to recommend something to suit your taste buds.
Learn to Let Go
Adore Pumpkin Spice Lattes? A huge fan of Peppermint Mochas? Starbucks’ seasonal drinks are some of their most popular items, but, as with life, everything has its season. The ingredients for these drinks are only available in store during their designated season which means that baristas can’t make you a PSL in May as much as you beg.
Know Your Roast
Starbucks uses a dark roast espresso for their lattes, while most local shops use a medium roast espresso. If you enjoy your coffee strong, stick with dark; otherwise, ask your barista to rather make your drink with blonde espresso.

]]>Fraps are Loaded With Sugar
Starbucks has a reputation of being the penultimate go-to coffee spot, but this also allows people to give themselves “free passes” when it comes to drinking Frappuccinos. Since Frappuccinos are under the Starbucks brand name, it gives us the feeling that we’re simply drinking coffee or a certain variation of it. But while there is coffee in Starbucks Fraps, it pales in comparison to the amount of sugar that gets put in it.
In other words, Fraps are more like desserts as opposed to on-the-go coffees—and yet they’re often treated and consumed like the latter. Fraps on the go are a commonality, and while there’s truly nothing wrong with that, it may not be ideal if you’re trying to stay healthy. Coffee itself isn’t particularly healthy either, but at least you know when you’re drinking it—whereas sugar lurks maliciously in Fraps where you least expect it.

]]>The multiple Oscar winner is known as one of the best-loved stars in Hollywood, with fans and peers both singing his praises. Not only has he been the recipient of numerous awards during his 40-year career, but he is also an advocate for environmentalism, space exploration, LGBTQ+ rights, and army veterans.
Hanks’s latest venture is a coffee company with all the profits being used to support troops and their families.
“I gotta have coffee a few times a day, but it has to be good coffee, made my way, and WHY NOT have my needs serve a good cause???” the star of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood wrote on Instagram. “Behold: @givehanx H*A*N*X coffee! ALL PROFITS will go to organizations that support our Veterans and their families (all profits means every nickel beyond the making and shipping and such).”
Hanx for Our Troops will use ethically sourced and environmentally sustainable beans to make its coffee that will be available in 3 forms.
Customers can choose between freshly ground dark and medium roast arabica beans, pods that come in 3 different blends (including Tom’s Morning Magic Blend), and instant sachets to which you simply need to add boiling water.

]]>The post Should You Really Try Adding Salt to Your Coffee? appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>Why Do People Add Salt to Coffee
There are several reasons why some people add salt to their coffee and most of them are actually backed by science. According to coffee expert Sara Marquart, the salt rounds up the flavor of the coffee and negates bitterness. “Salt naturally brings out the sweetness of coffee and maintains pleasant aromas,” Marquart told Perfect Daily Grind.
Marquart explained that salt in your coffee results in an effect called “crossmodal perception.” Your taste buds are exposed to bitterness and saltiness at the same time, causing the bitterness to tone down while other tastes get enhanced. This allows you to feel coffee’s natural sweetness.
Should You Try Adding Salt to Your Coffee?
While it seems like a radical idea, you should try adding salt to your coffee. This is especially if you can’t stand the bitterness or/and want to cut back on sugar and sweeteners. The recommended dose is half a teaspoon of salt for a large cup of coffee. Who knows? Maybe you will end up liking it.
