I Love Coffee Quotes

I Love Coffee is a collection of some beautifully creative coffee and cafe images plus cool coffee quotes meant to inspire..

Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, which are the seeds of berries from the Coffea plant. The Coffea plant is native to subtropical Africa and some islands in southern Asia. The plant was exported from Africa to countries around the world and coffee plants are now cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the Americas, Southeast Asia, India, and Africa. The two most commonly grown are the highly regarded arabica, and the less sophisticated but stronger and more hardy robusta. Once ripe, coffee beans are picked, processed, and dried. Green (unroasted) coffee beans are one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world. Once traded, the coffee beans are roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor. Roasted beans are ground and brewed produce coffee as a beverage.

Coffee is slightly acidic and can have a stimulating effect on humans because of its caffeine content. Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world. It can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways (like espresso, cappuccino, cafe latte, etc.). It is usually served hot, although iced coffee is also served. The majority of recent research suggests that moderate coffee consumption is benign or mildly beneficial in healthy adults.

Coffee cultivation first took place in Ethiopia.The earliest credible evidence of coffee-drinking appears in the middle of the 15th century in the Sufi shrines of Yemen. In the Horn of Africa and Yemen, coffee was used in local religious ceremonies. As these ceremonies conflicted with the beliefs of the Christian church, the Ethiopian Church banned the secular consumption of coffee until the reign of Emperor Menelik II. The beverage was also banned in Ottoman Turkey during the 17th century for political reasons and was associated with rebellious political activities in Europe.

Coffee is a major export commodity. It is the top agricultural export for numerous countries and among the world's largest legal agricultural export and one of the most valuable commodities exported by developing countries. Green unroasted coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world. Some controversy is associated with coffee cultivation and its impact on the environment. Consequently, fair trade coffee and organic coffee are an expanding market.

Chocolate Recipes

Chocolate Recipes features lots of amazing and delectable chocolate recipes and dessert ideas you can easily make yourself(plus a little game to entertain you)!

Chocolate is a typically sweet, usually brown, food preparation of Theobroma cacao seeds, roasted and ground, often flavored, as with vanilla. It is made in the form of a liquid, paste, or in a block, or used as a flavoring ingredient in other foods. Cacao has been cultivated by many cultures for at least three millennia in Mesoamerica. The earliest evidence of use traces to the Mokaya (Mexico and Guatemala), with evidence of chocolate beverages dating back to 1900 BC. In fact, the majority of Mesoamerican people made chocolate beverages, including the Maya and Aztecs, who made it into a beverage known as xocolātl, a Nahuatl word meaning "bitter water". The seeds of the cacao tree have an intense bitter taste and must be fermented to develop the flavor.

After fermentation, the beans are dried, cleaned, and roasted. The shell is removed to produce cacao nibs, which are then ground to cocoa mass, pure chocolate in rough form. Because the cocoa mass is usually liquefied before being molded with or without other ingredients, it is called chocolate liquor. The liquor also may be processed into two components: cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Unsweetened baking chocolate (bitter chocolate) contains primarily cocoa solids and cocoa butter in varying proportions. Much of the chocolate consumed today is in the form of sweet chocolate, a combination of cocoa solids, cocoa butter or other fat, and sugar. Milk chocolate is sweet chocolate that additionally contains milk powder or condensed milk. White chocolate contains cocoa butter, sugar, and milk, but no cocoa solids.

Cocoa solids are a source of flavonoids and alkaloids, such as theobromine, phenethylamine and caffeine.

Chocolate has become one of the most popular food types and flavors in the world, and a vast number of foodstuffs involving chocolate have been created. Gifts of chocolate molded into different shapes have become traditional on certain holidays. Chocolate is also used in cold and hot beverages such as chocolate milk and hot chocolate.

Although cocoa originated in the Americas, today Western Africa produces almost two-thirds of the world's cocoa, with Ivory Coast growing almost half of it.

Interior Design Ideas

Interior Design Ideas presents the trendiest interior design ideas for 2016..!

When you’re redecorating a room that’s in dire need of a new look, you don’t need to splurge on all-new furniture - a few home accessories can instantly liven it up! Despite often being small, home decorations can pack a mighty punch and quickly change a “blah” room into a space worthy of a magazine cover. There are a wide variety of home decor products to choose from, so use these helpful tips to incorporate them into your space.

Have fun with wall decor! If your floor space is limited, it’s important to make the most of your walls by using every inch for home decor. If your walls are looking a little barren, spice them up with colorful artwork. Your own photo collage can add a personal touch to any room, while mirrors can make a small space seem larger thanks to their reflective qualities. If storage is an issue, use shelves and stack them with fun trinkets or flowers. Don’t forget about the wall itself! Add some flavor with colorful, patterned wallpaper or go for a brightly painted accent wall.

Home decorations make great table toppers! If your living room needs a lift, liven it up by adding a few thoughtful home decor accessories. Photos always make great additions, but keep them interesting by mixing and matching your frames. When lit, candles add a romantic, relaxing feel, and coffee table books about travel, home design, fashion or photography make for great conversation starters.

House decorations can cozy up your floor! While floor space may be limited, there’s always room for a well-placed area rug or two. These are a great way to add texture, color and warmth to a hardwood or tile floor. Choose a traditional floral pattern or some funky chevrons to get started, then pair your pattern with a textured Berber rug or soft shag for ultimate indulgence.

Add some vibrancy to neutral-colored furniture! One of the easiest ways to punch up a look is through the fabric you display. Swap out throw pillows and blankets to liven up a dull home decor foundation, and search right here on Houzz for bold or mismatched patterns, comfy throws and cushy pillows.

Don’t forget the drapes! Dress up your windows with elegant, bold or even light and airy treatments. Because of their size, floor-length curtains can make a dramatic difference and can transition a room from traditional to contemporary all by themselves.

Bedroom Design Ideas

Bedroom Design Ideas presents the dreamiest and most gorgeous bedroom decor ideas for 2016!

With our busy lives full of family, friends & work, our bedroom is oftentimes the place we go to relax and escape everyday life. When done properly, a bedroom is a stress-free private sanctuary full of soothing colours, comfortable bedding and plush pillows. Setting that tone is often a challenge, especially when kids are in the picture, but a quick makeover can easily transition even the most in-trouble space.

As you redesign your bedroom, be sure to consider what both you and your significant other prefer. Your suite is all about you, so don't worry about using popular trends or appealing to the kids. Because there aren't many significant remodeling changes to make, figuring out your furniture layout is the biggest decision you need to make. By the time you add dressers, nightstands and a bed, your space can easily get cramped, so it's important to figure out what layout provides enough storage yet still leaves open space to move around. Once you've settled on furniture, take time to find a color scheme and decorations that reflect your personality. In the end, if adding new decor and furniture isn't enough, you can turn your bedroom redesign into a renovation by creating your own master suite, complete with sitting room and master bathroom.

The first step before buying a new furniture set is to consider the room size. Even though you might need three dressers and two nightstands, you might not have the space. Measure the furniture and visualize where it will go so you can judge what will fit where. Be sure to leave plenty of walking space, and double check that drawers and cabinets have enough room to open correctly. When picking your bed spot, think about windows and doors. Even if you have blackout curtains, placing a bed underneath a window might be a bad idea, while even the smallest crack in the door can stream hallway light in as you try to sleep.

Although your colour scheme is often a personal opinion, there are some colours that are more relaxing and therefore better suited for your sleeping santuary. Studies have found that people with blue bedrooms often get more sleep because of the calmness it elicits. Brighter colours may lead to a better mood, but it also might keep you up longer at night. If you have a significant other, you should also consider using neutral colours so everyone stays happy. Purple and pink might be too feminine, so try variations of green, gray or brown instead. When it comes to decor, don't clutter the space with knickknacks - it can be overstimulating and cause intimacy or sleep trouble.

For those looking for a master escape instead of just a nice place to sleep, try adding a sitting room, master bathroom and walk-in closet. Create your own personal reading nook by buying a relaxing chaise lounge, day bed or sofa. You can even add a fireplace and wet bar or coffee bar for those cold winter nights. Finally, ensure you get time in the bathroom each morning by installing one just for you. You can add a relaxing bathtub and makeup vanity for a complete getaway from it all, and be sure to include a nice closet to store your large(and expanding) clothes collection!

Living Room Design Ideas

Living Room Design Ideas presents the most inspiring and stylish beautiful living room decor ideas for 2016..!

Depending on your home layout, your living room can serve many different and useful functions. If you have a family room, it is often a formal sitting area or parlor used for reading, relaxing and entertaining guests. If it's the only living space you have, it's also used for watching TV, playing games and spending time with your family and friends. Regardless of its purpose, any good space has a comfortable sofa or sectional, a coffee table and a focal point, such as a fireplace or entertainment center(or both!).

As you start thinking about your living room re-model, try to pinpoint the space's overall purpose. If it's going to have a more formal feel, adding an elegant fireplace might be a valuable investment, while a built-in TV area would work best in a more low-key setting. Once you determine the overall tone, consider what kind of storage would work better. Built-in bookshelves and cabinets are great additions, regardless of formality, while a desk, table or booth ensure there is plenty of space for family game night or homework help. Finally, be sure to bring some personality to the space by including personal decor, such as rugs, artwork, curtains and lighting.

If you already have a family room for more low-key activities, your living room can act as a more sophisticated setting for hosting and entertaining. To get the look, buy a bar cart, formal furniture like wingback armchairs and chesterfield sofas, and mahogany wood bookshelves and coffee tables. Use the fireplace as your focal point by opting for an eye-catching, sophisticated mantle. On the other hand, if it's your primary living space, it should be used more like a TV room, complete with sofa sectional, media console and gaming spot. In the end, think about your needs; after all, a family with small children will use a playroom more than a formal sitting room.

Because the living room serves many purposes, be sure to incorporate plenty of shelves, cabinets and drawers to accommodate all your important elements. While more expensive, built-ins are the best way to do this, since they take up less space and are often customized to meet your needs. A built-in entertainment center is great for housing your TV, movies, video games and small electronics, while bookcases keep your books, picture frames and knick-knacks in check. A desk, booth or large table can act as a craft station or homework spot, while a window seat can quickly become your go-to reading(or nap!) station.

When decorating your living room space, don't be afraid of bright colours, but don't go overboard either. Stick with neutral sofas, armchairs, etc. and go bold with accessories - that way, you can easily swap out the small things when you want to try a new colour scheme. Picture frames, rugs, pillows and curtains are all great for adding colour, while mirrors, lamps and lighting can help light flow throughout the space. Hang colourful artwork on the walls, and even add an accent wall by choosing a trendy new paint colour.
