According to CookingLight

“A moderate caffeine habit — about three cups a day — is fine for your health.”

Come on in to the Stoudtburg Village Coffee Shop. We’ve got WAY more than three cups on hand!

Excerpted from CNN.com article, 5 foods that should have a place in your diet.

There are many foods that have unnecessarily bad reputations among people who want to eat healthy, but several bad boy foods are actually really good for you. People often shy away from peanut butter, for example, because it’s high in fat, but it’s also been shown to cut the risk of heart disease. Eggs, coffee and avocados are other foods that people avoid but really should be adding to their plates, according to Cooking Light magazine.

And further the article went on: (emphasis is mine)

• Caffeinated coffee helps improve memory in older adults.
• Small amounts of coffee consumed throughout the day can increase alertness and improve performance on all kinds of tasks, including those that require hand-to-eye coordination and attention to detail.
• People who drink a daily four to six cups have a 28 percent lower risk of developing [type 2 diabetes] –than folks who drink less than two cups each day.
• If you drink several cups, spread them throughout the day to prevent the jitters, and avoid coffee late in the day, which can interfere with sleep.

Check it out.

Then drink up!

Yep.  Robert Bohannon, a scientist, has developed a caffeinated donut, in case a good cup of coffee isn’t enough for you.  These confections have lots of sugar and trans fats to cover the bitter taste of the coffee beans he uses.. So I’m figuring that the couple cups o’ coffee are probably better for you, but it’s an interesting possibility.

You probably won’t find them first at Stoudtburg Village Coffee Shop, but we might be talking about them!

Check out the full story here or for more information here.

OK, Maybe you hated word problems in math class. Maybe you never even cared IF those two trains traveling towards each other would EVER meet. But this math problem is worth some consideration:

How much does one cup of coffee cost if you make it at home?

Let’s say you have a 12-cup pot and that it takes about 2 ounces of coffee beans to make one of those. And let’s say the coffee costs as much as $20 a pound!

Answer:

You know there are 16 ounces in a pound.
That’s 8 pots of coffee in a pound of beans.
Eight pots at 12 cups each is 96 cups of coffee in a pound.
And if the coffee cost $20 a pound…
Uh, $20 divided among 96 cups is just about 21 cents a cup!

Aren’t you worth good coffee at home AND on the road?

I think you’re worth it.

Judy Rupp, of Enid News in Oklahoma, pointed out for her readers about the ongoing swing of science reports — sometimes they say caffeine is good for you, sometimes it’s bad. It’s always addictive, but generally no one seems to say it’s really bad for you.

In the article Unanswered: Is caffeine good or bad? she says caffeine is

… one of the most widely researched drugs, and, after years of close study scientists have yet to demonstrate whether, if caffeine consumption were stopped tomorrow, the worldwide results would be positive or negative.

Yep.. it’s good for you.. or it’s not.

Check out this other page I stumbled on: Death by Caffeine See how much coffee, or other caffeinated drink, it would take to kill you. — Yea, i know a pleasant thought.. Or hey, maybe it is!

I do love to hear from happy customers! Makes this whole workin’ for a living thing worth while. Keep on writing.. and keep comin’ in.

Well Carol it was fun…

I laughed, I cried, I wanted another piece of that delicious coconut cake. Relaxing with your coffee is the perfect way to end the shopping experience.

The decision to enjoy a cup of your coffee (second good move in three months) was the ticket to release the stress. …

Although the trip takes about an hour and a half from Quakertown, we will make coffee a priority every time. It’s like going to your favorite bar but I can drive home afterwards.

Keep up the beans warm, we will back (that’s a threat).

Sincerely,

John

Carol,

My friend and I were in your coffee shop on Thursday and we had a great time chatting with you.

The coffee and hot chocolate were very good but it was your friendliness that really sent us out the door with big smiles on our faces. You certainly will see us again.

Keep that wonderful banter going with your customers. It is a special trait.

I can’t wait for my sister to visit so I can bring her along.

Success always and my coffee mug will be bigger next time.

Thank you,

Jane, the gal from Virginia, not West Virginia

We had a laugh over whether she was from Virginia or West Virginia.

What do you remember from YOUR last trip to the Stoudtburg Village Coffee Shop? We’d love to hear about it!

Click on the “comments” link below and drop us a note! And if you haven’t been in in a while, drop in for a reminder of how much fun you can have drinking a cup of coffee!

From SeniorJournal.com offering Senior Citizens News and Information Daily on the Web

Seniors Citizens are told that antioxidants are good for preventing just about everything from Alzheimer’s to cancer, to heart disease, and even dementia in old dogs. The facts in a paper presented August 28, 2005, however, may surprise most people — coffee is by far the number one source of antioxidants in the American diet.

“Americans get more of their antioxidants from coffee than any other dietary source. Nothing else comes close,” says study leader Joe Vinson, Ph.D., a chemistry professor at the University of Scranton (Pa.).
