Coffee may be associated with a lower risk of malignant melanoma
Both epidemiological and pre-clinical studies have suggested that coffee consumption has a protective effect against non-melanoma skin cancers. However the protective effect for cutaneous melanoma (malignant and in situ) is less clear, according to a study published Jan. 20 in the JNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

A Coffee Cup Designed to Let Astronauts Sip Espresso in Space
Here on Earth, it’s easy to take things for granted. Drinking a cup of coffee, for example, is a shockingly simple act when you’re affected by gravity, yet it’s infinitely more difficult once you leave Earth’s atmosphere. In space you don’t sip, you suck, from a bag. That’s a good thing. The typical coffee cup simply doesn’t work in low gravity, unless you want scalding hot liquid floating through the air.

Keurig's attempt to 'DRM' its coffee cups totally backfired
You know Keurig’s machines. The company's squat black coffee brewers have become fixtures in offices, hotels, and homes around the country, as have garbage cans heaped with the spent plastic pods they use. Purely on the strength of those machines — or more accurately, the relatively expensive pods they use — Keurig transformed its parent company, Green Mountain Coffee, from a small regional brewer to a major corporation doing over $4 billion in sales each year.

A Brewing Problem - How Bad Are K-Cups For The Environment?
“I don't have one. They're kind of expensive to use,” John Sylvan told me frankly, of Keurig K-Cups, the single-serve brewing pods that have fundamentally changed the coffee experience in recent years. “Plus it’s not like drip coffee is tough to make.” Which would seem like a pretty banal sentiment, were Sylvan not the inventor of the K-Cup.

There are few things more relaxing than starting off the day with your favorite beverage from Starbucks. Unfortunately, the experience becomes less relaxing once you begin to see the impact that your daily latte is having on your wallet. And, at roughly three bucks a cup, even the smallest sizes available have a way of turning into a major expense over time. But what alternatives are there? Well, you could always pick up some ingredients and make your own.

Scientists agree: Coffee naps are better than coffee or naps alone
To understand a coffee nap, you have to understand how caffeine affects you. After it's absorbed through your small intestine and passes into your bloodstream, it crosses into your brain. There, it fits into receptors that are normally filled by a similarly-shaped molecule, called adenosine.

We Give Up. Let's Just Say Coffee Cures Everything
The big news last week was that coffee now prevents skin cancer. “The more coffee consumed, the lower the risk,” The New York Times wrote. “Drinking four or more cups of coffee was associated with a 20 percent risk reduction compared with those who drank none.” I’ve yet to find a cancer that coffee won’t cure. Colon cancer. Breast cancer. Prostate cancer. A cup of joe keeps them all at bay, according to studies in recent years.

Colombia: Home of the perfect cup of coffee?
It is a bewitching thing, coffee. For years I used to follow the daily twists and turns of the London coffee market, reporting on the tremendous Brazilian frost in July 1975 which devastated the crop and caused world coffee prices to triple in the two subsequent years. I remember the dark auction room in the Brazilian port of Santos where the traders met to spar over the latest market offerings before retreating to their dusty offices to taste and sniff the export crop.

Keurig CEO "We were wrong" Stock drops 10%
Remember when everyone wanted a Keurig machine? Those days might be over. Sales of Keurig brewing machines and accessories tumbled 23% in the first quarter compared to the prior year. The company had a lot of excuses, but the basic problem is there are too many Keurig machines in stores and people aren't buying them, especially the newest Keurig 2.0 model.
