Coffee Houses
I can't imagine a world without coffee. This is probably the world's
favorite beverage. Sorry all you tea drinkers out there. Java is where
it's at. And your weekly coffee bill is proof of that. How much do you
imagine the average American spends on Starbuck's or some other coffee
shop in one week? My best buddy, who lives down in Irvine, California
tells me he spends 10 dollars a day on himself. That's 70 dollars a week
on coffee alone. Can you imagine what he spends in an entire year? You
do the math. My point is that coffee houses have become one serious
business. Even independent owners are making an utter killing.
There is one thing that everyone should know about today's coffee
houses. Well, at least if you're a coffee addict like me anyway. Not all
lattes are created equal. Take the stuff you'll find at Starbuck's. This
is not by any means some of the best java around. An employee of this
chain actually gave me the scoop. They buy the cheapest coffee beans you
can find. Is this really a big shocker? Uh, not so much. It's to be
expected from fast-food type businesses. They're much more interested in
making a buck than making something great. On top of that, Starbuck's
roasts their coffee beans pretty dark, hence leaving a burnt flavor in
their espresso. Now, if you've tried some of the finer coffee houses
around, you'd definitely notice the difference. Espresso that's prepared
correctly has a much smoother, richer flavor to it. So far I've found
about five outstanding coffee houses that bury the big chains.
If you're searching for a better espresso beverage that leaves the
high-priced stuff in the dust, you may want to purchase your own
machine. This way you can not only enjoy espresso drinks on a whim and
whenever you please, but you can also choose the coffee beans. Gourmet
coffee beans can be bought online or in certain grocery stores. Get them
right after they've been roasted. This will make for a phenomenal cup of
java. I'll bet you'll even prefer it to the local coffee houses. One
thing is for sure, it'll save you some serious cash.
