Gourmet Coffee

A few months ago, I went on a little excursion to Europe and fell in love with the Italian espresso coffee out there.  When I got back to the States, I had a bit of trouble finding anything that replicated the refreshing and bold taste of Italian coffee.

Luckily, some friends of mine pointed me out to some online retailers and I’ve been buying up different bags of coffee beans. Eventually, I found a company that replicated the taste well enough that I feel like I’m back in Italy when I drink their coffee.

For far too long, coffee has gotten a bad rap from making people jittery to increasing heart problems.  This, however, isn’t really the case.  Scientists have found that organic coffee taken in moderation can actually reduce a person’s chances of Alzheimer’s disease, kidney stones, gallstones and depression.

The key is to drink responsibly.  You don’t always need to have a latte in your hand, but one cup in the morning and another in evening may actually save your life.
