That works out to be almost half a million cups of coffee per day that are consumed in the United States. The United States buys the most coffee, Germany buys the second most amount. Sweden drinks the most coffee per person.

What Coffee Has The Most Caffeine?
A common misconception of coffee is that the darker the roast, the higher the caffeine content. What most people don’t know is that with the roasting of coffee beans, the darker it’s roasted, the less caffeine it actually has. Much like alcohol, when cooked, caffeine burns away the longer and darker it’s roasted. For this reason, people seem to seek out the most darkly roasted beans they can find when getting their caffeine fix.

Hi Tech Coffee Mug Keeps Coffee Hot
The two scientists found a solution to coffee going cold in your mug in phase change material (PCM), a wax-like substance used in the construction materials industry that is normally used to ensure comfortable room temperatures. PCM absorbs and stores warmth, such as that emitted by the sun during the day, and releases it once again after the sun has gone down, thereby creating a pleasant room temperature at all hours.

Hourglass Coffee Maker Review
The Hourglass Coffee Maker is a simplistic product, focusing on design. But lets look at the brewing process.
The concept of the Hourglass is simple. You put grounds to soak in the bottom, then you wait 12 hours and flip it to filter your coffee into the empty chamber.
But it’s not that simple.
The system uses cold brewing, meaning that you load system with grounds and water before waiting 12+ hours to brew. Once it’s brewed and you do the flippy part, you still don’t have coffee. You have something called “coffee extract.” So you heat some water and add two shots of the extract. And then you finally have coffee.
On the plus side, the system does promise to brew coffee with far lower acid content than traditional methods. In case you’re interested, the Hourglass Coffee Maker goes for $70.
