Hey guys!

In conclusion, coffee is a great beverage to depend on, despite having numerous drawbacks that are easily prevented. Transitioning to coffee instantly isn’t the best method as it may cause you to order the wrong coffee for your preference and it might leave a negative impact in your life. So, to prevent that, slowly transition yourself by trying coffees that you normally see around you, such as home brewed coffee or canned coffee so that your taste buds slowly get the hang of the bittersweet taste of coffee. Once you are comfortable with these kinds of coffee, switch it up by trying starbucks coffee. Starbucks coffee isn’t authentic coffee as it contains a high amount of sugar and milk, but it is still able to pack in a little tinge of the original bitter coffee taste. Then, you can try authentic coffee. Authentic coffee literally just means coffee that are freshly roasted and brewed just for your consumption which can be easily bought at baristas and dainty coffee cafes. Try out different kinds of coffee before deciding which one is the best for you. Personally, I love lattes more than any other kind of coffee. Lattes aren’t too strong and the coffee grounds are mixed with steamed milk that I love. Do note to self that not all kinds of coffee are everyone’s favorite. Everyone has their preferences and dislikes.

So, have fun trying out coffee and I hope you will find one just for you.

Until next time. See ya!

Hey guys!

Did you know? Coffee isn’t just good to enhance your taste buds, facial remedies and used for creative pieces of art because it can also be your best friend for when you’re dieting.

Here are ways that you can improvise to get the most benefit out of coffee.

1. When you’re dieting, drink your coffee black and avoid going for sweetened coffee beverages. This is because plain coffee has an extremely small amount of calories; a brewed one has 5 calories while an instant coffee has only 7 calories.

2. According to ‘The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition’, caffeine is more effective at boosting metabolism and fat burning hormones which is best for those who are near the end of their weight-loss journey and wanting a little boost of energy.

3. It has been proven that the combination of coffee and exercise is the best as it helps you power up through your workouts and cause you to lose more weight.

4. For those who aren’t as keen to drink bitter, black coffee, there are ways to sweeten it up without sacrificing any calories. For example, for a spicy tinge, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, and for a warm feeling, stir in vanilla extract or vanilla bean.

5. But, bear in mind, coffee should be limited to only two to three cups a day to avoid anxiety and hyperactivity which can disturb our sleep cycle.

Try it out! See how it goes.

Until next time. See ya!

Hey guys! How do you feel if I were to say that coffee can also be apart of the Art World? Well, don't be too surprised because it is true!

Art is a very unique and majestic way to express our feelings and creativity. There are many methods on creating art including painting portraits by only using coffee.

In a regular barista where they brew their own coffee from original coffee beans; each barista has their very own way of making designs for every cup of coffee they serve. So, for instance, if you get a barista that loves making hearts for every cup, you’ll most likely get one too unless they ask.

Other than that, the coffee itself can be used to create art. Check this out.

Instagram artist, Bernulia, accidentally spilled her leftover coffee on her drawing pad. But instead of freaking out and finding out ways to dispose of the mess, she decided to drag the coffee out and create a beautiful portrait.

Another artist, Maria A. Aristidou, decided that painting her portraits using water color and acrylics isn’t enough to express her passion for art. So, she decided to try painting using coffee and this is the results.
