Company hiring coffee ‘addict’ to drink java for $1G, but there’s a catch
For as much as coffee roasting can feel like an isolated activity, nothing says solitude quite like solo board game play — with the possible exception of writing about solo board game play.
United States-based Stronghold Games — a maker of “best of breed” games that immerse players in the specialized subject or theme of each game, according to Board Game Geek — is now taking pre-orders for a new version of the three-year-old Japanese game “Coffee Roaster.”

How To Make Your Morning Coffee Ritual More Sustainable
When you throw away coffee grinds and filter paper on a daily basis, you miss an opportunity to make a small dent against your disposable lifestyles. Sustainable systems and methods can apply to the sacred daily coffee ritual. For those who have embraced manual brewing, I want to focus on one resource intensive, yet indispensable component – the filter.

Should Parents Worry About Kids Drinking Coffee?
Spend an afternoon hanging out in a Starbucks or Dunkin, and you’ll probably see a handful of teens—and maybe even some younger kids—stopping in for a cup of coffee.

Caffeine and clean: Why you should fall in love with shower coffee
This is the year I fell in love with shower coffee: the perky, pre-business hours alternative to winding down with a shower beer or a glass of wine in the bathtub. What began as a necessity on occasions when I was running late has evolved into a near-daily jolt of pleasure.
As with any type of multitasking, there are some logistics that need to be ironed out before you enjoy a sip of shower coffee. Ideally, your shower has a ledge or shelf for safe coffee storage. Travel mugs or a cup with a lid and straw function best, though you may be at peace with getting a splash of water in your drink.

According to the Starbucks seasonal calendar, fall has officially arrived! Sure, the temps are still toasty outside, but with the annual, much-anticipated addition of the Pumpkin Spice Latte to the coffee shop’s menu, the fall season has begun!

Is It Better to Drink Coffee Before or After You Exercise? The Answer Might Surprise You
Whatever way you slice it, coffee is packed with promising health benefits. It’s been shown to increase your energy levels and metabolic rate, lower your risk of depression, and decrease your chances of getting type 2 diabetes.
Speaking of energy levels, many of us (myself included) cannot leave the house without a cup—or two—of coffee. We rely on it to bring us back to life in the morning, which is all fun and games until we started wondering, should we really be sipping this stuff before we work out in the a.m.?

Should You Drink 3 Liters of Water per Day?
It’s no secret that water is vital to your health.
In fact, water comprises 45–75% of your body weight and plays a key role in heart health, weight management, physical performance, and brain function (1Trusted Source).
