Podcast 30 World Of Coffee as we know it

Notwithoutcoffee

Hey, fellow coffee lovers, welcome back. Podcast episode number 30. The world of coffee. It's interesting because, as in the past talked about coffee history, coffee is not necessarily present, the future, or the world of coffee itself. The product alone literally has changed our world ever since. And from generations on, it's improved. Each generation would not necessarily improve but have sampled the world of coffee. With each podcast, thank you for listening. I want to welcome you back. And also we're about coffee and relaxing. Before we go further on today's topic, we have to get into our relaxation mode. Take one deep breath. Inhale through the nose. Exhale through the mouth. Inhale through the nose. Exhale through the mouth. And the last and final relaxation is breathing, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. And, of course, we got our breathing out away. Now, we have to set the mood. I got a little musical melody I'm going to play for you. And I also have our favorites. You know, we got to have a coffee-scented candle. I mean, you can't go without that. We are relaxing. You either listen or relax. If you're driving, don't relax too much. I want you to stay focused on the road. But still, a chill mode is about to be set. I got the music about the started got this candle Cindy going here. This kind of flavor. It's a Carmel mocha latte candle. Remember the previous episode we talked about lattes? What I want to get is a latte candle fit. Try to set this well. It does have a sweet smell to it. Suppose you can smell the sweetness. Trust me, and it's there. Okay, brothers and sisters of the brew, we got that candle set going. Let's go ahead and get into our three deep breaths into that relaxed or Chill Zone. Let's start with the inhale through the nose. Exhale through the mouth. Inhale through the nose. Exhale through the mouth. One more time. Inhale through the nose. Exhale through the mouth. Some powerful breathing is going on. I can hear it right all over the mic as we speak. We are in our relaxed zone check. We got a three-deep breath to check. Get the candle thing going at the review. Oh, and here's the music as we speak. Here's a nice soft piece. Let me know what you think about this number here. And we also got a good cup of hot coffee going. Of course, I got my Jamaica Blue Mountain, one of my favorites. I only have two favorites, Jamaica Blue Mountain and the Hawaiian canola—great coffees. Let's get started. Now, with that being said, we were talking. I want to go over the world of coffee as we know it. I mean, it's so vast and extensive, and how it has affected our world. Like nature said, " Hey, I know you live in a stressful world. Here's my way to help you relax just a little bit. And by giving us coffee, coming from his humble beginnings, being found by a goat herder to the present day where it's only second to water well worldwide, and it's interesting enough it is composed of water, the second most traded commodity worldwide. Coffee has come a long way. And let's go over a few more ways coffee has generally affected our lives. All right, brothers and sisters, out of the blue. Let's go ahead and get right into it. Let's talk about the world of coffee. I have some coffee facts I want to review with you. In my previous episodes, I always liked to throw in coffee facts. When I go into a deep dive into the world of coffee, one crazy point you may not have known about light-roasted coffee is that it has more caffeine than dark-roasted coffee. We've always believed that the darker brew had a more caffeine effect. The darker brew your coffee is roasted, the less caffeine it has. This is because as the coffee is roasted longer, the caffeine is also slowly being roasted. So the longer you roast your coffee, the less tap, the less caffeine you have. The hovered darker coffee tends to pack a bigger punch in terms of the strength of traditional coffee flavor. So, if the dark roast flavor wakes you up, dark coffee is the way to go. Hey, what do you choose? I prefer the dark person. Another quick coffee fact is in us. Only two areas go to two states that grow coffee, California and Hawaii, Hawaii being the canola brand of coffee, one of my favorites. But it's also costly—almost $1,200 per ounce. And also now Puerto Rico growth coffee, but it's more of a tour of US territory. In our short but impactful journey, we'll cover three key aspects of coffee: its origins, the brewing process, and the art of tasting. So sit back, relax, and let your coffee curiosity run wild.

First, let's travel back in time and explore the origins of coffee. Legend has it that in the 9th century, an Ethiopian goat herder discovered the stimulating effects of coffee berries after noticing how energized his goats became when they consumed them. Fast forward to the 15th century, and coffee started spreading from the Arabian Peninsula to the rest of the world, fueling conversations, trade, and creativity across diverse cultures.

Now that we've explored where coffee comes from let's dive into the brewing process. There's a brewing method for every taste, from traditional methods like the French press and espresso to modern gadgets like pod machines and cold brew systems. We'll discuss the key factors that affect coffee extraction, such as grind size, water temperature, and steeping time. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or a casual drinker, understanding these principles can help you create a perfect cup of joe tailored to your preferences.

Finally, we'll indulge our senses and explore the art of coffee tasting. Just like a fine wine, coffee has intricate flavor profiles waiting to be discovered. We'll discuss the different taste characteristics found in coffee, including acidity, body, aroma, and flavor notes. Learn how professional coffee tasters, known as cuppers, evaluate and grade coffee based on these sensory experiences. By honing your tasting skills, you'll be able to appreciate and detect the nuances in your daily cup of coffee.

Before we wrap up our coffee adventure, I'll leave you with a few quick tips on how to store and choose coffee beans wisely, explore specialty coffee shops, and even try some exciting coffee recipes you can make at home.

Remember, coffee isn't just a beverage; it's a cultural phenomenon that brings people together, sparks creativity, and gives us that much-needed kickstart. So, embrace your love for coffee with a renewed appreciation for its history, brewing, and tasting techniques.

That marks the end of our 15-minute journey through the aromatic world of coffee! I hope you enjoyed this episode of 'Coffee Break' with Nova. Until next time, sip, savor, and keep the caffeine flowing. Happy brewing!"
