ARE YOU BREWING A COFFEE SHOP IN YOUR FUTURE?

(Jul 20, 2011 07:15 PM)

Coffee shops, as well as college houses/coffee bars, have become an im­por­tant day-to-day scene and a hall­mark in so­cial­iz­ing.  Coffee drinkers are not only looking for ex­cel­lent quality and great service, but for a good se­lec­tion of coffee drinks, which are now readily avail­able.

Ac­cord­ing to the Na­tional Coffee As­so­ci­a­tion of U.S.A., Inc.* (2011 Na­tional Coffee Drink­ing Trends):
** 40% of 18-24 year olds drink coffee, which is up from 31% in 2010
** 54% of adults age 25-39 re­port­edly drink coffee daily, up from 44% in 2010
** Gourmet coffee con­tin­ues to be a sig­nif­i­cant portion (37%) of total coffee con­sumed --
     point­ing to the fact that con­sumers desire to main­tain coffee quality despite an un­cer­tain
     economy

Further NCA Survey Results reveal: close to 53% of the U.S. pop­u­la­tion is over 18 years of age, of which are daily coffee con­sumers, in other words,  there are close to 108 million coffee drinkers per day.  So, out of that number, there is close to 30 million Amer­i­cans drink­ing (gourmet) coffees every day.

Trends can be com­pared to ocean waves -- some crash quite quickly and dis­ap­pear, while others take time to build up and hold their own for periods of time.  These days, it's  more trendy to have a TV cooking show rather own a restau­rant, or sell prod­ucts, such as cloth­ing/cooking sup­plies/jewelry, on a na­tional network than run per­sonal es­tab­lish­ments.  But the  'coffee culture' has been around for a long time, with coffee con­sump­tion going up, and 'spe­cialty coffee shops' be­com­ing more and more popular.  There is no better time than 'now' to get into action by opening up a coffee shop.

WOW! HAVE YOU HEARD?

(Jun 21, 2011 09:25 PM)

A new Alzheimer's mouse study at the Uni­ver­sity of South Florida has re­ported new find­ings that "an uniden­ti­fied com­po­nent of coffee in­ter­acts with the bev­er­age's caf­feine" and could be the ex­pla­na­tion why coffee intake pro­tects against Alzheimer's disease.  The Uni­ver­sity found this in­ter­ac­tion in­creases blood levels of a crit­i­cal growth element and this seem­ingly is able to ward off or delay this dreaded disease process.

Ac­cord­ing to Dr. Cao, a USF neu­ro­sci­en­tist, we get our daily an­tiox­i­dants by drink­ing coffee daily.  Since coffee is high on the list in anti-in­flam­ma­tory com­pounds, we're already drink­ing pro­tec­tive ben­e­fits.  Un­for­tu­nately, drinks, such as, car­bon­ated drinks, energy drinks, or even tea don't seem to possess the same pro­tec­tive ben­e­fits as caf­feine in coffee.

So, it's im­por­tant not to forget our daily caf­feine fixes (maybe 4-5 at least of your fa­vorite??), along with some phys­i­cal and mental ac­tiv­ity.  By com­bin­ing these three, we can reduce Alzheimer risk or even delay it.

Have you hugged your espresso today?

(Jun 15, 2011 04:42 PM)

All over the United States coffee shops serving spe­cialty coffee are bring­ing in espresso lover cus­tomers in droves.  No longer is a diner-style coffee ac­cept­able.  Each morning, rain or shine, in busi­ness dis­tricts in cities like Seattle, Chicago and San Fran­cisco, scores of office workers line up in front of coffee shops to get their morning 'fix' of cap­puc­cino, latte or mocha.  Going out of the way, stand­ing in line up to 10+ minutes and/or paying up to four times the price of 'regular coffee' has become the norm.

You do not have to have a muffin, a crois­sant, or scone every day, but you ab­solutely and pos­i­tively have to have your 'latte or mocha fix' every day once you become 'hooked' to good coffee...... Ex­pe­ri­enc­ing that WOW COFFEE MOMENT beats regular coffee every time!
