How to Make the Best Coffee Cake

!±8± How to Make the Best Coffee Cake

If you have ever sampled a delicious coffee cake in your lifetime, only to feel a little bit of jealousy in wanting to be able to recreate it yourself, then you are not alone. The great news for you to know is that coffee cakes are much easier to make than you would have ever anticipated, making it a popular baking choice for a gathering of family or friends, or even just a Sunday morning alone with your newspaper!

To start out with, here are the ingredients that you will need:

• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1/3 cup shortening
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 beaten egg

First things first, start by mixing together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and sugar. Cut the softened shortening into your mixture until it has a coarse consistency. Stir in the beaten egg and buttermilk until it is thoroughly blended. Spread this entire mixture into an 8 inch round cake pan that you have greased and floured previously. Before you begin to bake it, you will need to sprinkle it with a specialty topping made of:

• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp. melted butter
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Mix all of the topping ingredients together well, and then sprinkle them over the top of the unbaked coffee cake before you place it in the oven. This is going to give you a special touch in your coffee cake recipe that will make it stand apart from many other average coffee cakes that you may have tasted in your lifetime. Bake this coffeecake at 350° for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

After that, all you have to do is cut up your delicious coffee cake and enjoy! But it doesn't stop there... When you have made a custom and delicious coffee cake, then you definitely need an expert Java to go with it. Since this is a rich and delicious dessert cake, it is recommended to look for a sweet coffee with cinnamon spices, such as the Hawaiian Kona Blend. This is specifically designed to go well with baked goods because it has a lighter body, which is perfectly paired with a coffee cake or any type of other cookie dessert that you may have. This blend is also ideal if you are the type that likes light to medium bodied coffees that have a low acidity on the tongue.

It's best for you to freshly grind your Hawaiian Kona coffee beans about five minutes before your coffee cake is to be finished. Freshly brew them in your traditional drip brew maker or French press so that they will be done simultaneously when this coffee cake is be ready to be taken out of the oven. Then, all you have to do is let both your brew and your cake cool so that you can enjoy them at the same time. There is nothing better!

How to Make Perfect Tea Using a Coffee Maker

!±8± How to Make Perfect Tea Using a Coffee Maker

Rather than purchase a tea maker in order to make the perfect cup of tea, you can still make this beverage only with the aid of a coffee maker. So many caffeine brewers are now available not only to make a pot of java but also a pot of your favourite tea.

The pod, press or even drip coffee machines can be used to make this beverage. If you are ready to learn this skill, here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Choose the flavour of tea you want first. You can have chamomile, green tea, lavender, ginger, black, peppermint, white and the more popular green tea. The ones that come in a bag are good enough although some say the authentic ones with the leaves produce better results.

2. Now fill the water reservoir of your brewer with the same amount of water you normally use for your daily pot of brewer. Of course, the amount should just be right for the tea bags you are going to use and for the amount you require for that.

3. Put tea bags in the coffee basket. For a cup or two of this beverage, you need about one to two tea bags. Do not use the filter. If it has a built-in filter already, you should increase the amount of tea bags to one to strengthen the taste.

4. Plug the coffee machine and then program it to the usual programming features. You might want to set it up to the strongest cup setting where it will extract the most essential oil and flavour from the tea bags. If you want to do this everyday, you can already put the tea bags at night and program it to start brewing in the morning so your cup of beverage is already waiting for you when you go down for breakfast.

5. Now you can serve your tea. Put milk or honey in it or any condiments you desire.

It is really quite a cinch to make. So the next time you are feeling tired of brewing java every single day, why not try to change your caffeine routine with tea instead? This will surely provide a nice diversion from what you have been accustomed with.

Cocoa is also a nice alternative. You can brew it the same way you did with this beverage. Truly, having a coffee maker at home provides lots of benefits to us homeowners.

The New Temperature Regulating Coffee Mug!

!±8± The New Temperature Regulating Coffee Mug!

All coffee lovers should be cheering now that a new temperature regulating coffee mug has been invented by scientists. This mug is able to absorb the temperature of its contents, store that data, and keep the hot beverage at the correct temperature. This temperature regulating coffee mug will work to keep the coffee inside at the correct temperature level by releasing heat back into the contents continually.

Most coffee lovers are familiar with the fact that an insulated coffee mug works well to keep your coffee warm for a longer period of time, but now there is a mug that is technologically advanced to enable your drink to be kept at the correct temperature for a half an hour, whether it is cold or hot! This is exactly what you need if you have your coffee sitting next to you on your desk at work because it will ensure that it will be hot enough to drink when you choose to enjoy it. No more forgetting about your cup of Joe and then taking a sip of cold coffee, which can be both disappointing and disheartening. This temperature regulating coffee mug is made of phase change material, or PCM. This material is capable of storing and releasing heat by the changing of its phase.

This was developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics by two scientists who first designed a porcelain shell that was filled with highly conductive aluminum ribbons. This aluminum was shaped in a honeycomb structure, and the holes were filled with PCM. This enabled the PCM material to absorb the heat of the coffee and melt into a liquidy wax. This worked to cool the beverage to the correct temperature, and when it cooled, the PCM released the heat that it had stored back into the beverage, which enabled it to stay at the perfect temperature for half an hour.

Different beverages do have various optimal temperatures. Coffee and tea taste best at 136°F, beer at 44°F, and iced drinks at 10°F. These call for different chemical makeups within the PCM, which is why different mugs are designed for each of these beverage types. The only downside to this wonderful invention is that one mug will not work for both hot and cold liquids.

You can expect to see these innovative mugs on the market at the end of next year, and they should cost slightly more than an average coffee mug, but still be affordable. Furthermore, PCM does provide many different uses, including the potential to keep perishable foods from going bad, or even to protect paintings in museums from fires because it is a non-flammable substance. Currently, PCM is used in some winter jackets to provide warmth in cold weather, and it also can be used to store computer data without any electrical current. As far as keeping your coffee warm, this is the perfect use of this material, and every coffee lover will be thankful!

!±8± How to Find Cheap and Affordable Coffee Makers

Cheap coffeemakers that are superbly efficient and highly covet-worthy is surprisingly abundant in the coffeemaker market. Before, cheap has always been connected with low quality. We can now purchase inexpensive coffeemakers with almost as great mechanisms as the expensive ones. Here are the steps for you to get the most ideal cheap coffee makers:

Step 1 Know Its Average Satisfactory Grade.

One or two misses are pardoned but if the over-all score is lower than 4 stars, there is a big possibility that you will find that coffee brewer below your standards.

Coffee brewers such as this are commonly very famous so you might want to read more reviews to know more.

Step 2 Look For Those With Simply And User Friendly Functions.

I don't know of any person who will eagerly spend half a day getting acquainted with their coffee brewer. We do not all share the same zeal for modern technology. If you do not care much about various dials and buttons, choose one with easy one-touch features. It is more ideal to buy a coffee brewer that is semi-automatic so that you can still adjust its functions a little without missing its convenience.

Step 3 Pick A Coffee brewer That Saves You A Lot Of Counter Space.

If you have limited counterpace, pick one that does not take up as much room. Also, smaller coffee brewers have sturdier built because it is made from more compact materials.

Step 4 Look For One That Makes Your Coffee Needs In A Day.

If you are the only person who loves coffee in your house, you might want to purchase one or two-cup coffeemaker but if not, buy one with a larger brewing capacity. Its brewing capacity should just be sufficient for you in a day to cut back on time and coffee grounds consumption. The good news is, the brewing capacity do not really influence the price. There are 12-cups coffee brewers accessible today that do not cost a lot.

Step 5 Know More About Its Warranty Policies.

Even though you are willing to shell out less than a hundred bucks for it, you have to make the most out of your money. Get a coffee brewer from a reputable retailer that will give you a good warranty so you can ask for aid when you experience difficulties with your coffee brewer. The best cheap coffeemakers will be the most ideal purchase you will ever make in your life if you know what to look for. Make sure you are buying one that is a real value for your money by arming yourself with this knowledge.

How to Make French Press Coffee

!±8± How to Make French Press Coffee

Knowing how to make French Press coffee means knowing how to make what is probably the most robust, the richest coffee in the world. Ah, French means the spice of life, no? Mon Dieu, knowing the secrets of how to make French Press coffee shall surely lead to le bon vivant!

In truth, while it sounds like it must be a complicated, rocket-science type thing to know how to make coffee in a French Press, it isn't. French press instructions are very simple, and using the French Press to make coffee is fun. It's like the French kiss... simple, but first you still need to know what you're doing and what's required of you.

The biggest manufacturer of the French Press equipment is Bodum. The French Press is sometimes known the "press pot" or often times just "plunger". When you begin to make French Press coffee, you will need a tea kettle in addition to the French press.

The first part of knowing how to make French Pressed coffee is selecting really good coffee to begin with. As with most coffee brewing methods, any coffee can be French pressed. But, if you're using an exceptional brewing method, don't you want to use a better grade or blend of coffee than you would choose for everyday automatic drip coffee? Of course you do.

"City blend" or "French roasted" coffee beans are usually among the best with a French coffee press, because they are a darker roasted variety of coffee bean. Vietnamese or other Far East Asian coffees (they were taught by the French and Dutch colonialists a few centuries ago and they have arguable the best coffee-growing geophysical conditions on the planet) are also good choices.

As a rule of thumb with brewing any and all coffee, you should buy your own beans and grind them yourself. If you can't grind your own beans, or perhaps just don't feel like doing this step, buy small, vacuum-sealed bags of coffee.

Assuming, though, that you'll grind your own beans, know that a coarse grind works best in the French press coffee maker. Too fine a grind will result in sediment in your finished cup of coffee. A coarser grind will allow the filter to screen out unwanted particles, and ensures total separation of the liquid from the sediments.

Now, the next step preparing French Pressed coffee is estimating just the right proportions of coffee to the water. Simply use 1 ½ level tablespoons of ground coffee per six ounces of water. This will produce a very strong coffee, if you prefer a milder taste, just adjust the coffee down to 1 tablespoons. Experiment to see how you prefer your pressed coffee. And for the purest taste, always use the highest quality water available, filtered or bottled (not distilled) water is best.

Take your teakettle and fill it with cold, filtered water. Bring the water to a boil. Once it is boiling, take it off the heat and pour it directly onto the grounds in the French press coffee maker. Immediately put your lid on the pot, but wait for 3 - 5 minutes, allowing the coffee grounds steep before you depress the plunger. This will ensure that the coffee will exude all of it's very best flavor first.

There is nothing like the aroma of French pressed coffee steeping.

You will see that the coffee grounds expand or "swell" during the steeping process. After you have allowed the grounds to steep for up to 5 minutes, gently push down the French Press plunger, and watch as the mesh filter pushes the coffee grounds to the bottom to separate the liquid from the grounds.

Voila! You know how to make coffee using a French coffee press! There is no going back once you have experienced how easy and truly wonderful this coffee making method can be.

Brand : Bodum | Rate : | Price : $99.95
Post Date : Oct 19, 2011 05:47:01 | Usually ships in 24 hours


The BODUM Assam cast iron tea press is both a functional and artful item for the tea table. The cast iron tea press combines the old Japanese tradition of enjoying tea in a tetsubin style teapot with BODUM's proven tea press system. The Assam shape is reminiscent of the traditional English tea pots, whereas the cast iron material and its texture create the relaxing feeling of participating in a Japanese tea ceremony, a purifying bath of the six senses. Cast iron was used not only to convey the Asian style, but because of its brilliant qualities to preserve heat and therefore the consistent quality of the tea within. To create the distinctive Assam bowl shape, two iron cast parts are fused together. The knob pattern (Arare) surrounding the exterior of the pot contains the same amount of knobs in the first and last row. The inside is lined with a smooth, durable vitreous coating of enamel to prevent the iron from deterioration. If properly cared for, the cast iron teapot will last more than a lifetime. The Assam cast iron tea press should be hand washed and never placed directly on the stove or open heat source. Brewing loose-leaf tea is easy with the Assam. Simple add your favorite black, green, herbal, or white tea to the infuser. Pour hot water over the tea, filling the pot. Allow the tea to brew to your liking and then press. The patented press system separates the tea leaves from the water, completely stopping the brewing process and eliminating bitter tea. This means that you can enjoy your tea over time while resting assured that your first cup and third cup will taste the same. The Assam 4 Cup Tea Press serves 8 ¿ 4 oz cups.
