Red Coffee Press!

Look what I got today!
It's a red coffee press! Red is my favorite color and coffee is my favorite beverage! Oh happy day!
As soon as I got this little sucker home, I had to try it out.
I heated water in my red tea kettle, brewed coffee in my red coffee press, and consumed in my red IU mug.

Coffee -- Did You Know?
  • Coffee is actually a seed, not a bean.
  • Some studies suggest that coffee consumption reduces the risk of being affected by diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetes, dementia, and more. This might be related to the antioxidants found in coffee. These free radical-busting compounds are found in both caff and decaff varieties.
  • Coffee consumption can lead to iron deficiency in pregnant women (and their babies).
  • Instant coffee, like Starbucks' new Via, was invented in 1907.
  • People (in Muslim countries) were drinking coffee back in the 15th century, and at one point it was banned. Thirty years later, the ban was overturned.
