Sugar Cookie asked:


Just wondering, how DO you drink your coffee with whipped cream on top? Do you:

~Mix it into your coffee for it to get a lighter frothier taste?
~Drink the coffee as it is, (risking the whipped cream moustache)
~Eat all the whipped cream and then drink your coffee?

Because I’ve only drank regular coffee without whipped cream, I don’t really get the whole idea of putting whipped cream on top of it, but I would like to try it! And by far, Choice number 1 seems reasonable to me. Please tell me other options!

Espresso is the most popular beverage drink of the world. Its uniqueness lies in its high pressure brewing process that concentrates all the flavors and ingredients of the coffee beans in a typical cup of coffee. It is because of its intense nature and high concentration, espresso is widely used to lend special taste to other coffee drinks such as cappuccino, lattes, macchiato and mochas.

Though every step is essential to the taste of end product, a quality espresso machine is critical in brewing the authentic Italian espresso. Since sometimes back, there has been explosion in the variety of espresso machines available in market. Today, advanced technologies ensure espresso lovers enjoy a cup of specially brewed coffee right in their homes. While the café quality machines are still expensively priced, many of the espresso machines for home use promise excellent espressos.

With so many options available with a complex set of features, style, cost and technical complexity, one may feel baffled by the range of products. Before deciding which espresso machine to buy, it is crucial to determine your needs. It is important to understand your requirements and your preference of coffee type above anything else.

The first thing that you as a buyer should consider is what kind of espresso experience you would like to have. If frothy cappuccino, chocolaty mocha, and flavored and milky lattes is your cup of coffee and the original flavor of espresso is secondary, a moderately priced machine would solve the purpose. And, if you are an espresso purist and quality, taste and ritual of brewing is of utmost priority, a superior quality semi-automatic pump machine makes a better sense. A fully automatic machine is usually for the commercial purposes and may not satisfy the cravings of a die-hard espresso drinker.

The other consideration is how frequent you are at your use of espresso machine. Daily users should go for high quality machine with three-way solenoid electro-valve. If your use limits for once in a week or on the weekends or on special occasions, a less expensive machine would fit the bill amicably.

Once you decide which kind of machine you would like to purchase, preliminary research on Internet would come handy in finding the specific machine that suits your needs entirely. At this point, you can also have a look at the pricing and other additional features of the products and select the machine that meets your idea of perfect espresso machine.

Question Queen Mentally Special! asked:


I know lots of people, especially older people & teachers who drink @ least 3 mugs a day. Lots of people tell me that since I suffer anxiety, I shouldn’t drink caffeine because it would increase the risk of a panic attack. I try to stay away from caffeine, even though I like coffee. I hardly drink it. But if I DO drink it, I usually have more cream & sugar in it than the coffee, itself.

Is drinking coffee helpful or harmful in other ways? How?

Nearly every social event offers food in the celebration, birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings, are but a few of the events where food is an important part of the celebration. This article is about the wedding cake. A wedding is a way to celebrate the union of two people who are starting a life together. People come to eat and drink and a great deal of work is put into the preparation for this day. The wedding cake is often the focal point of the event. There are times that it is considered bad luck not to have a piece of the wedding cake.

There are specified rules for cutting the wedding cake that are a part of tradition. For instance, at a wedding reception, it is traditional to cut the wedding cake just before dessert is served, if the wedding reception takes place during lunch or the dinner hour. However, if the reception is held during tea or cocktails, the cake is cut just after all of the guests arrive. It is tradition for the bride and groom to cut and eat the first slice together, as a symbol of their choice to be together. The rest of the cake is sliced by the maid of honor or a family member.

Choosing a wedding cake is quite a task. Tradition calls for a white cake with white frosting for weddings. In this day and age, couples are choosing their favorite flavor. This has bakeries and cake decorators striving to offer a larger selection of cakes. Chocolate, fruit, yellow, pound, and marble are some of the cakes made for modern weddings.

Some wedding cakes offer a different flavor for each layer. White icing, while still ordered, has made way for a wider selection of frostings. Chocolate, mocha, lemon, and any other flavor you can imagine are used for wedding cake decorating. It is possible to customize your cake using all of your favorite flavors. How the wedding cake is decorated is a personal choice as well. You can have just about anything you can dream up put on a wedding cake including, fruit and even real edible flowers.

The wedding reception is the most anticipated part of the wedding. And everyone looks forward to seeing the cake cut and sharing it with the bride and groom as a symbol of good will and a hope, that as a couple, the bride and groom will be prosperous and fertile.

If you would like to become a cake decorator, there are several ways you can go about it. There are hundreds of books out there that will teach you how to decorate cakes, from the simple to the ornate. Another way to learn cake decorating, is to purchase one of the many videos or DVD’s that will take you, step-by-step , through the cake decorating process.

The best way to learn cake decorating is to take a class. While DVD’s, videos, and books are highly popular and informative, taking a class will help you move along faster. You will be able to get immediate feedback from the teacher, and they can see where you might be going wrong and correct you before the project is ruined.

This question is for current and former Starbucks employees.

I already picked up an application, filled it out, and now I just need to turn it in. Do I go in and ask to see the manager, hand it to the girl at the counter, or what? What’s the best way to turn it in?

I recently discovered the gingerbread latte and love it sooo much but, it will be phased out soon and I want to start trying something else like it. I know I don’t like the Carmel Machiatto and I am not a huge fan of Mochas.

Question to Starbucks employees only.

How is the Starbucks brewed iced coffee made?

Do you pre-make the coffee in advance like Mcdonalds and Burgerking? Or do you add ice to hot coffee?
