Searching for coffee, makers, machines, beans, gourment, mugs, or anything to do with coffee?

Reportedly, more than half of Americans drink coffee every day. That makes it the most popular beverage in the country.

Studies by Joe Vinson, a chemist at the University of Scranton, showed that the average American receives more than four times the amount of antioxidants from coffee daily than from black tea, which was second on the list. Bananas, dry beans and corn were the top three foods on the list.

Boiling (Arab) -

By tradition, the Arabs boil their coffee 3 times. Though this method disipates some of the flavors, it is known as the romantic way of making coffee.

Methods of Making Coffee:

Filtering (Drip) - This method of making coffee is probably the most popular, especially in the U.S and Germany. Near boiling water is poured over finely ground coffee into a pot or cup and ready to drink.

Researchers have found that coffee far outpaces any other beverage or food as the main source of antioxidants in the American diet.

Antioxidants are vitamins and minerals that help prevent oxidation, which is a process that can cause damage to cells and may contribute to aging. The compounds may help boost immune function and possibly cut your risk of infection, heart disease and cancer, according to the American Dietetic Association.

A number of recent studies have linked coffee to health benefits, including protection against liver and colon disease, type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease, according to Vinson.
