Do you start your morning with a cup of coffee? If yes, you are one of billions coffee lovers.

How much do you know about this popular beverage? We are ready to surprise!

#1 To refresh yourself drink coffee at the right time

It is all about the cortisol level. At 8:30 a.m., 12.30 p.m and at 6 p.m. our bodies produce the highest amount of this hormone. If you want to stay fresh & cheerful, you'd better drink your coffee when the level of cortisol is a bit lower. Mind, that if you want to sleep soundly, you should't drink coffee after 6 p.m.

#2 There is no strong coffee, actually

Its strength can not be measured objectively and during tastings coffee is evaluated by a great variety of parameters.

#3 Just think, 2.3 billion cups of coffee are consumed daily all over the world!

#4 Drinking a cup of coffee at 9 a.m. you'll still have about 100 mg of coffee in your body at 1 p.m.

If you drink it after 3 p.m. you can work till night but it will surely disrupt your sleep.

#5 Ground coffee should be consumed in 15 minutes after you have ground it

In 15 minutes it loses its smell.

#6 Do you know that people ate coffee beans first?

Yes, coffee beans can actually be called...coffee cherries. By the way, in Africa people mixed animal fat with very small pieces of coffee berries and ate them to get enough energy.

#7 In Italy Barista is a very respectable profession

The average age of a Barista is 48.

#8 Irish coffee was made in Ireland to warm up cold American plane passengers

#9 Why do coffee bags have valves?

They give you a chance to smell the coffee you've chosen and prevent bags from blowing up because of carbon dioxide, which is released by roasted coffee.

#10 Caffeine increases adrenaline level and stimulates nervous system

If you drink coffee before trainings, it will help you to achieve better results.

#11 The amount of caffeine doesn't depend on roasting

However, different types of roasting change the way coffee beans smell.

#12 To get one kilogram of coffee you will need to pick berries from two coffee trees

Love coffee, hate Starbucks coffee - over roasted and bitter

Patricia Green, That's 8:1 - eight pounds of cherries to one pound of finished, processed coffee.

Patricia Green

I grow coffee. Rule of thumb is you need 8lbs of coffee cherries to yield one lb. of processed coffee. That’s a little more accurate than saying “2 trees,” especially since each tree yields more cherries as it grows,

Paula Salem

Love coffee, especially the aroma of it.

I have enjoyed the same coffee for over 50 years as my favorite when I’m home . Maxwell House Instant Coffee . A regular size cup a heaping size teaspoon of coffee a couple level teaspoons of sugar and a little bit of vitamin D milk . 🥰

I prefer mold coffee over strong coffee so i usually dilute brewed coiffè with hit water on a 1 to 1 ratio when I drnk brewed coffee in hotels. I limit dtinking of coffee to only one mug in the morning per day to abid too much sugar intake. I use washed or brown sigar.

Elsy O. Stromberg

Yes, there is strong coffee. What is strong for one person may not be strong for another, but at some point everyone would agree it's strong I think.

Doris Dallaire

Love the smell of coffee but I don’t deal well with caffeine unfortunately. So I have a decaf once in a while. The blossoms of coffee smell absolutely divine!

ninakamwene, I have coffee trees on my property here in Mexico. The cherry is very sweet, but the only thing we can think of to do with the pulp is use it for compost.
