Tell Me More About My Daily Coffee!

I know that if you are anything like me then you must have a very intimate relationship with your daily coffee brew of choice. But how well acquainted are you really? There is a vast history behind your steaming cup of joe, and I am here to share some little know secrets with you. First, hold on to your chairs- decaf is only 97% caffeine free. The beans are steamed several time to dramatically reduce the caffeine content, but don't rely on it being 100%. Next, coffee beans when harvested are virtually flavor free! the roasting process is what add the taste and aroma, so that is what you have to thank for your fresh coffee flavor everyday. And last, instant coffee has been around as far back as 1901! It was invented by a Japanese American scientist, who I can only assume didn't want to wait for his tasty caffeinated beverage. And we all thank you...
