“The best part of waking up…”
COFFEE
Yup, for java-fanciers of all stripes, there’s really nothing that beats having that fresh, steaming cup of delicious joe to greet the sunrise.
Now, you don’t have to be a coffee snob either to enjoy that daily brew – sales of instant coffee are growing worldwide at a 5% annual rate and expected to reach total sales of $14.7 Billion by 2024. So clearly, convenience remains a strong selling point. After all, it’s easy to heat up the kettle, pour a cup, and toss in a spoonful of wake-me-up.
According to ImarcGroup, research also shows some surprising benefits to instant coffee. Even though it’s lower in caffeine, it boasts higher levels of antioxidants. Plus, it offers a healthy boost to metabolism, improved brain function, and even enhances liver health.
Now I can understand that maybe “Instant” coffee isn’t your cup of tea.
So for the purists out there, here are a couple of tips on home-brewing that perfect morning eye-opener:
- Buy FRESH Beans – the best coffee comes from beans used within days of being roasted.
- Grind it yourself – if you get already ground coffee, the quality starts to diminish almost immediately. That’s why it’s best to grind-on-demand when making coffee.
- Use good water – this can literally make all the difference, especially if you live in a part of the country where your tap water may have some issues with odors or flavors. Hard-core coffee fanatics use bottled spring water to make that perfect cup.
No matter what kind of coffee you enjoy, make sure you start each day with a smile on your lips and a hot cup of happy at your side.
The best tip for brewing up a secure financial future includes only the top quality ingredients of research, analysis, and trust. If that sounds tasty to you, then give us a call at 513-563-PLAN (7526) or book online and let’s talk.
