Home Brewing: American Trend
I actually feel vindicated. I have long been a proponent of brewing your own coffee at home. One of my main reasons has always been the financial aspect. You spend so much less by making your own coffee. Of course, that is not to say that I look forward to spending time in coffee shops every so often, but that’s a different story. More than the money, however, another reason I like brewing my own coffee is that I am in more control as to the taste and flavor of the brew. While some coffee shops get the taste right according to my preferences, not all of the ones I have visited are that good.
So anyhow, I read this news article on Reuters. It said that more Americans are brewing coffee at home. Here’s the juice:
Daily coffee consumption in the United States was steady this year compared to 2008, while the number of people making their coffee at home rose, the National Coffee Association of U.S.A. said on Saturday.
Data from the 2009 National Coffee Drinking Trends survey, which polled more than 3,000 adults in the United States by telephone in January and February, was released at the NCA’s annual convention in Boca Raton, Florida.
“Even if economic conditions cause some to alter their coffee choices, they are nonetheless continuing to enjoy coffee at levels very much on par with recent years,” he said in a release.
That’s what I am talking about. You do not have to pay an arm and a leg to get a good cup of coffee! All you need is some smarts – brew it your own way and enjoy it every day!

indeed this is a nice trend that we are seeing over the past 10 years. Now it is strengthened by the unfortunate weak economy and the attempt of some to lower their per cup expense.
I’m definitely not the only one that’s making more coffee at home. I’ve cut back on going to starbucks and other coffee shops every day and now I’m only going once a week or so.
Stop the presses… On top of the increasing number of coffeenatics brewing at home, we have another phenom on the coffee horizon that’s sweeping the U.S. as we speak! “Healthy Coffee”. I’m not talking about organic coffee, I am talking about coffee that actually builds the immune system, strengthens the body from the cellular level, that promotes weight loss, stamina, endurance, high energy with no crash, no shakes, no jitters and and the key ingredient in it neutralizes the ill affects if caffeine! Its a gourmet blend that comes in Black, Latte and Mocha and they are giving away free samples! I had some Fed-Ex’d to me for FREE. They are new to the US as of September 2008. Try it for your self! I have lost 11 pounds and my cholesterol level has been positively impacted after consuming it for 2 months! They are running a promotion for the first 200 people that taste it and like it, they are allowing you to get it at cost directly from their distributors! All you have to do is get the word out!
