If you can't get enough coffee in your life, you can always try adding it to your dinner line up this week. I'm no master chef, but these ideas sound pretty good to me. Give them a try and let us know what you think!

A website review.

Even though it’s spring in the Northern Hemisphere, for most of us it hasn't gotten warm enough yet to even consider ice coffee, cold brew, or whatever else your chilled caffeinated beverage of choice is. But in Florida, it’s always cold-drink season. Joel Davis of Commune + Co., in Tampa Florida, is spreading his love of cold coffee thanks to his bike keg, where he serves up pressure-brewed ice coffee from a nitro tap.

Always remember, YOU'RE AWESOME!

Coffee Gives Us An Emotional Boost As Well As An Energy Boost.


Why do we crave that first cup of coffee in the morning so much? Why do we gather together in random coffee shops all over the world to worship this little cup of elixir? The caffeine? The Taste? The social aspect? The Antioxidants? Not so much.

Come to find out, the real reason we drink so much coffee is due to the emotional gratification we get from it.

In a study done last year, it was determined " The reason why this product is so appreciated can be found in the positive emotions it arouses. In fact, the results of the study carried out reveal that coffee arouses a positive emotional charge among the people who drink it, and its consumption is linked to the emotions of pleasure, activity, energy and happiness, in that order."

Humans, both men and women alike, are deep down ruled by our emotions first, followed by logic. We do things and make decisions based primarily on how  it will make us feel. Especially when it comes to making ourselves feel good on subconscious level. This is evidenced by what we put in our mouths. Hence the widening of the collective American waistline. 

When it comes to coffee however, it's primary function is a feel good drug. One I feel no guilt about being addicted to. I gladly raise my hand an admit with a smile, "my name is Steven and I'm a coffee addict"

So feel good about your feel good drink! It keeps us emotionally level, which is safer for all those people we come in contact with that piss us off. 

"When it comes to linking coffee consumption with the emotions, we have not found any link with negative sensations,” The study goes on to state, "The coffee drunk in the morning is linked to activity, energy and kindness. It is also linked to pleasure and, in fact, the start of the day is the moment preferred by consumers to enjoy a cup of this beverage. Coffee drunk socially is linked, depending on the atmosphere and the company in which it is drunk, with activity, affection, yearning, friendship, satisfaction, good nature and pleasure. Coffee taken leisurely leads to sensations of calm, sweetness, peace, happiness and tranquility."

So here's to being happy! Keep enjoying your morning joe and maybe even enjoy your family and friends a little more too especially when sharing some time over a cup of coffee.
