Did you know that Caffeine content of a single serving of coffee can vary greatly?
On average, the following amounts of caffeine can be expected in a single cup of coffee
Drip: 115–175 mg
Espresso: 100 mg
Brew: 80–135 mg
What most folks find interesting is that dark roasted coffee has less Caffeine than lighter roasted coffee, YUP, that’s right.
If you like coffee and you get an upset tummy from drinking coffee…you can try darker roast (less caffeine). Also try a pinch of baking soda to reduce acidity.
To add to the health benefits of coffee, I use honey in my coffee as a natural sweetener. Although honey only has trace amounts of vitamins and minerals, I feel it’s a very stable and natural food source. In fact honey is one of the oldest foods in existence, and it never spoils. Honey was found in the tomb of King Tutt, and it was still editable.
What’s up with that anyway? Who is the brave soul who found that out?
I’m not sure I would have the courage to dig some guy up and start randomly sampling food for spoilage.
No, wait a minute; I’m absolutely positively sure I wouldn’t.
Anyway…honey is perhaps one of the most stable foods sources on earth.
I have had it with my coffee for over a decade.
It’s one of nature’s great creations (next to coffee)…here are the Properties of Honey:
Fructose: 38.5%
Glucose: 31.0%
Sucrose: 1.0%
Water: 17.0%
Other sugars: 9.0% (maltose, melezitose)
Ash: 0.17%
Other: 3.38%
