The Coffee Stop – Why the Coffee Break is a public pastime?

Posted by scottparat on 03 Jul 2009 | Tagged as: Coffee Articles

As any office worker knows, the one thing they look forward to more than 5pm is… the coffee break. The coffee break has become synonymous with office culture, and is where working relationships are formed and gossip passed on – all over a steaming cup of coffee!

A lot of office buildings aren’t located near to the required Starbucks or Costa Coffee, so what’s a hard working employee to do? They can hardly be expected to drink ‘water’ now can they?

That’s right, the daily congregation around the office coffee machine has become a rite of passage. It’s a time to swap stories, flirt with that handsome colleague of yours or even catch up on the daily scandal, I mean – it’d be rude not to!

So it’s no wonder that the office coffee machine is probably one of the most important pieces of equipment in your building, and as such the manufacturers of these fabulous devices have decided to make your coffee break even more enjoyable by creating stylish, sleek and even tastier versions. So not only can you enjoy socializing you can enjoy doing it ‘well’

One such company is ‘Flavia’, their drinks machines are becoming synonymous with style and good taste, with more and more office managers opting for the Flavia coffee machine over any other.

Forget stand-alone machines, with Flavia the machine sits neatly on any desktop. Compact, light weight and easy to maintain, making it easier to chat with friends during your ‘coffee stop’

Drinks machines are advancing, many now have the freshest coffee beans, the richest flavors and better prices than high-street shops. The years have been kind in making your coffee break easier and simpler to enjoy.

Experience rich tasting coffee beans, discuss rich local men, savor the aroma of herbal teas and discuss how Leah in finance is having an affair with Martin in accounts. These drinks machines go a long way to making the environment what it is…

So what are you waiting for it’s 10.15am…coffee break time. I’ll have a latte!

Coffee and Acid Reflux - Can You Drink Coffee and Still Avoid Heartburn?

Posted by scottparat on 02 Jul 2009 | Tagged as: Coffee Articles

I love coffee, and I drink it everyday.  In the past, I suffered from acid reflux, and I’d have a flare-up if I even thought about about drinking coffee.  It became so bad that my throat would burn most of the day, and I had to sleep with my head elevated.

In retrospect, I realized I was consuming too many trigger foods, the worst of which was coffee.  I’d drink coffee daily, and every time I’d get heartburn. It didn’t take a doctor to determine that there was a link.

Actually, medical researchers have determined that coffee does not cause acid reflux. That is, if you don’t already have acid reflux, coffee won’t give you the condition.  However, it sure can exacerbate an existing condition and induce a flare-up.  Caffeine is widely known to be a major trigger food for people with heartburn.

The market is full of remedies for these conditions.  Most are effective at relieving the burning.  Some — known as proton pump inhibitors (e.g., Prilosec) — completely shut down the acid pumps in the stomach.  Proton-pump inhibitors are often expensive, and long-term effects of using them is unknown.

The most gentle and effective way to stop food-induced acid reflux is to either stop consuming coffee and other trigger foods, or find a way to reduce the acid in these foods.

Fortunately, there is an inexpensive way to do this with a product that combines calcium and phosphorus. Prelief is a small pill taken with food (or dissolved in coffee) that safely takes the acid out of food.  Unlike almost every other product on the market, it does not affect your stomach acid — it simply makes trigger foods safe again. Prelief is safe and inexpensive.

Check out the link below to learn how you can avoid acid reflux and still consume coffee (and wine, tomato-based dishes, etc.).
