April 18th, 2010

Podi coffee machineTo some extent we all want some cute little appliances at home, so as we always enjoy a cup of coffee, cute coffee machine is something we don’t want to miss. Cute and practical, makes our coffee more enjoyable! Well, let’s see this new Podi coffee machine.

Red, very shinny, and keeps our appetite. A new coffee machine to be released in Europe in the next coming months, Podi is a single serve coffee machine engineered for use with rigid Italian made capsules which are available in 6 different aromas. Looking like something out of a sci-fi film, it is designed by Vinod Gangotra for Selec Line (Asia). The one push button operating coffee machine makes it easy and practical to use. Key features include 1.0 litre water tank, 17 bar pressure and automatic capsule ejecting system.

I really its round shape, looks very cute, and so I believe it makes the cutest coffee in the world. Also comes in a black and a white version, I love the red one though.

Craft Mug

February 01st, 2010

VanGogh MugUsually, we love elegant nice things in our life. We just want everything to be beautiful and graceful, but however, sometimes we do appreciate crafts which are usually feels a little rough. Our censorious eyes are strangely attracted by these rough crafts, mainly for its creative energy and the ideas constructed inside its shape, I guess.

And here’s this a little creepy mug, it was named “Dear Van Gogh” mug after the famous artist Van Gogh. However frankly, the mug has nothing to do with Van Gogh but the concept is rather intriguing. Designed by Mike Mak, the Dear Van Gogh is a silicon mug that features an ear-shaped flexible handle. The handle feels realistic and could be twisted or pulled hard as you want.

It looks really funny, even a little creepy, and the ear looks so real that reminds me of VanGogh’s cut down left ear, which I know is very scary and kind of too much bloody for water drinking! But the idea of twisting it sounds like a perfect way to release your anger, and that feels quite VanGogh-ish! So if I may, I think the real VanGogh would love the “Dear Van Gogh” mug, if only he had that chance.VanGogh twist Mug

Coffee Drinking Reduces Risk of Mouth and Throat Cancers

December 22nd, 2009

 

coffee

Do you know that US. is the world’s biggest coffee-consuming nation. Nearly fifty two percent of Americans drink coffee daily, which means about four million cups of coffee are drank per day! Since we all know about caffein you might felt a little struggle when having one, now here’s somthing you might not know about coffee.

A study conducted in Japan finds that drinking coffee can reduce the risk of mouth and throat cancers by half. If true, this would be another entry in a sizable list of benefits that have recently been attributed to drinking the brewed beverage.

Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan analyzed data from a group of more than 38,000 people aged 40 to 64 who were enrolled in the Miyagi Cohort Study. They report in the American Journal of Epidemiology that people who drank one or more cups of coffee per day had half the risk of developing cancer of the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus compared to people who did not drink coffee.

The reduction in cancer risk occurred both in people who are at high risk for these cancers because they drink alcohol and/or smoke, and in people who did not have an elevated risk of these cancers. The best way to lower your risk of these cancers is to quitting smoking and drinking, but coffee consumption seems to be another way to significantly reduce risk. Recent studies conducted in Europe and America have found benefits of coffee that include lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes, reducing Parkinson’s disease risk by as much as 80 percent, cutting colon cancer risk, lowering the risk of cavities, and even treating headaches.

However, people still should be cautioned not to overdo it: most of these studies (including the present one) find benefits to drinking moderate amounts of coffee, and consuming too much of this caffeinated beverage can cause heart palpitations and increases in blood pressure. Coffee can also aggravate gastrointestinal conditions such as GERD and ulcers. Pregnant women, heart patients, and those at high risk for osteoporosis are usually counseled to avoid coffee.

Feel a little relieved to enjoy a cup of coffee Huh…However you might need a nice coffee machine to make your coffee healthier, cause you know these instant coffees…In this case, a nice coffee machine can do great good to you, though this might take a little bit more time, still it’s worth it.
