The most expensive coffee in the world
A certain variety of Kopi Luwak coffee grows on the islands of Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi (Indonesia). Because of its surprisingly delicate and velvety taste, this drink has gained fame among true gourmets and is by far the most expensive coffee in the world. Now you know! The name of the variety, in fact, determines its main feature - not only people participate in the production process, but also, whoever you think, representatives of the local flora. Luwak is a small animal of the civet family.
He is interesting because he understands coffee beans better than anyone else, and selects the ripest berries of the highest quality for his own diet. It's like a mongoose coffee. We won’t go into details, let’s just say that the animal eats them first. Well, then... it produces... the product. The path through the civet's digestive tract does not actually harm the coffee beans. The only point is that the enzymes in his stomach slightly soften the grains and allow them to subsequently reveal richer organoleptic characteristics. So, everything is not just like that! The grains are collected, thoroughly washed (thank God) and roasted first in the sun and then in special ovens.
For many, this business has become not just a way to earn a living, but also a relatively prosperous life, by local standards. No more than 1,000 pounds of Kopi Luwak coffee enters the world market per year. The cost per kilogram of fried berries can range from $300 to $600. At retail, a cup of Kopi Luwak costs approximately $35-40. If desired, every coffee lover can fork out for a cup of a mega-exotic variety, but not everyone who can drink such a drink every day without financial difficulties finds the courage to try it. The long journey that the most expensive coffee beans have traveled seems too... “thorny” for many.

Hold your mug correctly
How should you hold your mug to minimize the risk of spilling coffee on yourself? Secret. But we will tell you. A study published on ScienceDirect, "The Spilled Coffee Phenomenon," by Zhivon Khan, explains why coffee tries to spill out of your mug when you least expect it. That is, almost always! Having made a series of complex calculations with the physical properties of the liquid and the frequency of vibrations, Zhivon calculated that the mug (the scoundrel) was to blame for everything! Or rather, its shape. The researcher conducted experiments with different shapes of dishes and came to the conclusion that a mug is the most inconvenient device for carrying coffee in it. But, if you are not yet ready to be known as the most extravagant person in the office and drink coffee from a glass, Zhivon Khan has a solution for you too.
Instead of holding the mug by the handle, it should be held from above with a strong grip. Sort of like a tiger-claw-hand-method. This method reduces the amplitude of coffee vibration, and with it the likelihood that the drink will leave the mug and end up on the floor, or on your papers in the office, on new pants, a skirt, or a clown costume.
Hold the mug as shown in the photo, and your coffee will always be in the cup, says the scientist. He also claims that if you do not walk straight, but back away, then the likelihood of spilling coffee is also significantly lower. But this, of course, is if you don’t stumble.
And this is the coffee utensil:
coffee brewer - coffee maker coffee machine - coffee maker coffee maker - coffee maker coffee mill - coffee grinder coffee pot - coffee cup - coffee cuppa - cup-of-coffee - cup of coffee cappa - cappuccino - cappuccino coffee set - coffee set
And expressions related to coffee:
coffee break - informal communication over a cup of coffee, break wake up and smell the coffee - face the truth, gain insight and see reality, “open your eyes!”
Sayings about coffee and love
It's no surprise that there are coffee quotes that talk about love and romance:
- You should not save on things that are expensive by nature - for example, women, perfume and coffee.
- There is no better love potion than a cool espresso made by a woman. After such a drink, the man never leaves.
- A woman's temperament eloquently describes the coffee drink she chooses.
- People don't fall in love with coffee. They spend their entire family life with him.
- Her gaze was like a cup of strong aromatic coffee in winter: it burned, was unexpected and gave hope.
If the love for Arabica is not enough and the heart demands more, a cup of a delicious drink can always become an entourage to a truly deep feeling.

Coffee with cheese Difficulty of preparation: 2 Benefits: 3 Taste: 4
If you've never tried Lapland bread cheese, here's a great opportunity. You can buy it online or, if you can find it in Finland, in your nearest store. This cheese with a delicate sweetish taste is cut into small pieces and poured with hot coffee. The dessert is called kaffeost, that is, coffee cheese. In fact, this is not coffee, but a whole breakfast! Cheese contains many vitamins, proteins, fats, proteins, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, mineral salts, etc. Moreover, cheese protein is absorbed much better than milk protein. Cheese has a positive effect on the skin, stimulates metabolism, and participates in growth processes. The only harm of the Lapland breakfast is that it is very high in calories. This dish is not recommended for people with high cholesterol and atherosclerosis, as well as for people who are overweight.
Coffee with yolk and rum Difficulty of preparation: 3 Benefit: 0 Taste: 5
The first part of the recipe is pretty boring: brew the coffee and fill the cups three-quarters full.

Let's not get bogged down about the harm of alcohol in combination with coffee. After all, everything is good in moderation! But it's delicious.

How to make coffee correctly
Without a copper Turk, this activity makes no sense at all, so if at a party you are offered coffee brewed in a coffee machine or, God forbid, in some saucepan, you can snort contemptuously and ask “in that case” for tea. If you are lucky and have a Turk, then finally brew the right coffee for the amateurs! Show them some skill!
- First, lightly fry the grains or powder in a pan without oil (7-10 seconds).
- After this, grind it to a powder, pour it into a pot (a teaspoon for every 50 ml of water) and pour boiling water over it. Don't overdo it with water! The pot should only be filled halfway, otherwise everything may boil over and they will laugh at you and force you to wash the stove.
- Immediately add sugar to taste, place the Turk over low heat and wait until the foam rises to the edge of the vessel. Don't let the drink escape, remove it from the heat and pour in a few drops of cooled boiled water. And so, 5 times.
- Try the coffee first, so that if it fails, you “accidentally” throw it into the sink and refuse to brew a new one.
Here's what else you can do with coffee:
to grind - grind to pour some coffee - pour coffee to make coffee - brew coffee to serve - serve to stir - stir (with a spoon) degas - degas, vacuum coffee to go - takeaway coffee to talk over a cup of coffee – chat over a cup of coffee
