Coffee, one of the jewels of beverages, is primarily enjoyed for not only its taste and aroma, but also for its well-known positive effect on mental performance. Drinking coffee has been demonstrated to improve an individual's alertness and concentration so aiding better performance and also helping reduce the feeling of tiredness or lethargy. Coffee is something that soothes our mind and refreshes it from all the anxieties… This biased definition is enough of an excuse to admit how I love slurping each cuppa coffee till it’s ‘VIM drop’ clean.
A CUPPA COFFEE IS A MUST:
1. During College/ Office breaks… when there’s nothing better to do… a cuppa coffee is always to the rescue!
2. Study night-outs… well, OF COURSE! What else can give us the energy to stay awake that long… remember?! Coffee aids better performance!
3. Freezing cold rainy days… when u have to just stay home probably completing some boring journals, a hot coffee mug is your true buddy.
4. After long journeys/ jetlags… or actually DURING long journeys and jetlags… Trust me coffee really gives you the kicks you need here.
5. Coffee helps the ‘Suppression of depression’… here’s to the ‘Devdas’ ’ around… Coffee’s a much better solution!
Sure, coffee boosts your spirits and rejuvenates your mind, body, soul… but the PURRFECT blend and roast is as critical too! Imagine you are depressed, desperately hoping you would find something exuberating in that special cup…but end up with the most boring milky bitter disaster! Ugh… I’m sure you’d rather consider being a ‘Devdas’. The point is, coffee is too precious to waste… If and when you have coffee… have the BEST one!
I would like to share with you my favorite way to have a cup of coffee… I never was a coffee-buff. I was always the TEA person… Slowly and unknowing, my fondness for coffee grew… I soon realized that the coffee I drank so intriguingly, was somehow always the one prepared by my grandmother. The warm emotions we share, her love, care and comfort all blending into the drink so willingly! I found myself sharing time with my grandmother working out the troubles of life. She asked how I would like my coffee. I wanted it just like hers, real strong and two sugars. I wanted to be just like her. Well, as my life went on, I didn’t get to spend so much time with my grandmother, but I always found myself, and still do, reaching for that cup of coffee whenever I needed to work things out!
Rightly said so… Your mood is often etched on the coffee you make. Apart from the right amount of milk, coffee beans and sugar, there are quite some other dazzling factors that assist in the coffee creation… Ingredients like dedication, love, haste, excitement, wrath, envy etc… all convey their respective flavours to the coffee you prepare!
Another way to look at this is that there is always a unique recipe for every mood and time of the day. There are strong hot coffees, for the busy bees to keep them active and alert all day round. Then we have Expressos topped with vanilla and cream, for the more stylish to sip for hours… Don’t forget the bitter but classic mochas, lattes and cappuccinos with chocolate syrup… And of course, ‘cold coffee’ the usual hit amongst the college crowd! This is what we call ‘Unity in diversity’ in the true sense! 1 coffee with many descriptions: nutty, chocolaty, flowery, Citric- orange or lemon, earthy etc etc…
Coffee Trivia: Some tips to make the best use of coffee!
• When shopping for perfume, take some coffee with you in your bag and have a good sniff in between smelling each perfume to refresh your nose!

• The caffeine in coffee helps reduce the chances of developing Parkinson’s disease. Coffee is also rich in antioxidants which play an important role in fighting off cancer, diabetes and liver cirrhosis. However, coffee should be still consumed in moderation since the caffeine in it is a stimulant that may become addictive.
To date, there are over one billion coffee drinkers on the planet. The rest don’t know what they’re missing out on.
