Become a Coffee Drinker - Reduce The Chance of Stroke

Recently, studies have found - if you're a regular coffee drinker - it appears to have a reduced risk of a stroke.

Ed Edelson states in
HealthDay Reporter

THURSDAY, Feb. 25 (HealthDay News) - "The study of 23,000 men and women who were followed for an average of 12 years found that "self-reported coffee consumption was inversely related to stroke risk," said study leader Yangmei Li, an epidemiologist at the University of Cambridge in England."

The overall view shows, people who reported they are a coffee drinker of any amount - had a 27 percent lower risk of stroke than those who said they never drank the black beverage, as per the researchers report. Drinking coffee more frequently and more of it, than usual - was not associated with a greater reduction in stroke risk.

Yangmei Li said "This association was in subgroup analysis stratified by sex, age, social class, educational level, smoking status, alcohol drinking, tea drinking, physical activity, plasma vitamin C and diabetes status."

A professor of epidemiology at the Medical University of South Carolina and a spokesman for the American Stroke Association is - Daniel Lackland - he says that the new research that this confirms earlier findings but not groundbreaking - however it is consistent with other studies that have looked at reduced stroke risks from drinking coffee.

Type 2 diabetes is lowered - which is a main factor in a stroke - basically - if you drink coffee it will help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes - which in turn help reduce the chance of a stroke and heart disease. From what we know the actual studies have not been done to get true results - mostly taken on reports on an individual level of comments and results with their coffee consumption

Lackland further added "There has been no study designed to produce the kind of evidence needed to make recommendations."

Moka Pot or Stove Top Coffee Pot - What's The Difference?

Wikipedia definition as follows:-Moka Pots also known as stove top espresso makers, are similar to espresso machines in that they brew under pressure and the resulting brew shares some similarities, but in other respects differ. As such, their characterization as "espresso" machines is at times contentious, but due to their use of pressure and steam for brewing, comparable to all espresso prior to the 1948 Gaggia, they are accepted within broader uses of the term, but distinguished from standard modern espresso machines.

Moka pots are similar to espresso machines in that they brew under pressure, produce coffee with an extraction ratio similar to that of a conventional espresso machine, and, depending on bean variety and grind selection, Moka pots can create the same foam emulsion known as crema that conventional espresso machines can.

Moka pots differ from espresso machines in that they brew under substantially lower pressure – 1.5 bars rather than 9 bars – and use hotter water – a mix of boiling water and steam at above 100°C (rather than 92°–96° of espresso machines), similar to early steam brewing machines.

Moka pots are widely agreed to produce inferior quality brewing to espresso machines, due to brewing at excess heat and insufficient pressure, but are considerably cheaper and more convenient than espresso machines, and the quality of brew is prized and preferred by many over unpressurized brewing.

Brewing Coffee Methods

Many things depend on how you choose the way of your brewing coffee method. The reasons are that we need to establish how many people we're serving - how strong they or just you want it - the equipment available to you then other things like what time of the day it is - if you have lots or little time. Some have their favourites therefore ensuring they make time as well as having the right equipment for their preferred brewing coffee methods. On occasion, experimenting with a variety of brewing techniques and/or fresh roasted coffee varieties.

We find that across the world there are many different coffee brewing methods - the most common of course and I guess because of the ease and accessibility is:-
Plunger coffee - some may know this as French Coffee Press. This is a simple method all you need is a coffee plunger, fresh water, boiled, and your favourite fresh roasted coffee ground to suit plunger.
