Kicking Horse is very good. Any organic, fair-trade coffee will get a positive response for its taste and quality and you will be well liked for keeping the environment and fair practises in mind. Places that serve those coffees generally get a lot of attention from the 20-40 age group.

If you really want to do it right, you’ll purchase a bunch of french presses and a coffee grinder. Buying beans rather than grounds will produce better coffee and will make your restaurant look classy, trendy, and eco-friendly. Plus french presses produce much better coffee than standard brewers.

The caffeine content of an average 5 ounce cup of coffee can vary from 40-150 mg. Two influencing factors are the variety of coffee bean and where it is grown; both can be affected by such things as soil conditions, length of growing season, and time of harvest. Even coffee grown in the same general region will vary in caffeine content.

Three more controllable factors are how finely the beans are ground before coffee making and the method and length of time used for brewing the coffee. The drip method, with fine ground, used in machines like Mr. Coffee, generally yields the highest amount of caffeine, ranging from 110-150 mg per five ounce cup. Percolated coffee is next highest in caffeine, ranging from 64-124 mg. Isn’t it interesting that many people say that brewed coffee tastes best? Instant coffee may be lower in caffeine averaging between 40-108 mg per cup.

Decaffeinated coffee, despite its name, does contain some caffeine, although only about 2-5 mg per five ounce cup

Here is information on caffeine content based on brew method

5 ounces of Drip Method coffee contains the most caffeine at 110-150 milligrams

5 ounces of Percolated coffee contains 64-124 milligrams

5 ounces of Instant contains 40 -108 milligrams

5 ounces of Decaf contains 2-5 milligrams

5 ounces of Instant Decaf contains 2 milligrams

Latin American Coffees: Coffees harvested from Mexico, Central and South America, Columbia, Panama, the Caribbean, and Costa Rica are characterized by a medium to high acidity and a tangy, sweet flavor. These blends are commonly used for breakfast coffees.

Arabian and African Coffees: Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Kilimanjaro produce spicy-flavored coffees with hints of cocoa, citrus, and berries. Distinguished by a thick, syrup-like body and dark roast, African and Arabian coffees are often served as a dessert accompaniment.

Asia and Indo Pacific Coffees: Grown in Asia, Indonesia, and the Pacific Islands, these coffees have low acidity and a bold, heavy body. Characterized by a robust, earthy, or slightly bitter flavor, coffees grown in this region complement rich desserts and dark chocolates. Common coffees from this region include Monsoon Malabar, Sumatra, and Yemeni.

Exotic Coffees: Harvested from Hawaii and Jamaica, exotic coffees are prized for their rich aroma and full flavor. Kona and Jamaican Blue Mountain are popular varieties from this region.

While serious coffee connoisseurs can identify the origins of their coffee beans solely by aroma, those who are new to coffees from abroad may not have honed this talent. Sample bags of gourmet beans are a fun way to experiment with different regions, blends, and flavors. The next time you brew a pot, think globally and try an international coffee instead of your current blend. You may be pleasantly surprised to discover what you’ve been missing.

If you go to the grocery store in the coffee aisle, they will have so many flavors of coffee you wouldn’t know what to pick! =) French Vanilla is really good and so is hazelnut, but there’s so many, you’ll see!!! Also, buy some really good creamer to put in it, it enhances the flavor too, like there’s french vanilla creamer and hazelnut. It’s by the milk at the grocery store!
