For many years, it was mistakenly believed that black tea and coffee were dangerous for blood pressure. Recent studies debunk this myth and even point to the opposite, highlighting the health benefits of both tea and coffee consumption. When consumed in moderation, tea and coffee are good for blood flow and keep our arteries flexible.

How to use the whole coffee bean

To make good coffee , it's not just the raw material or the coffee beans and their origin that matter, but also the coffee machine. Coffee shops use professional coffee machines that brew coffee at a certain pressure (usually around 15 bars), but if you want to make good coffee, you can simply buy a small coffee maker, paying attention primarily to ease of use and cleaning the coffee machine.

Above all, regular cleaning of semi-professional machines and the corresponding descaling of hoses and nozzles are very important. This is ideal for preparing good coffee.

Coffee capsules are currently gaining popularity, but it's important to understand that the price per kilo is high, that a lot of waste is generated when preparing them, and that all the excitement of the coffee smell when the coffee beans are ground is lost along the way.

Tea, machine-made or handmade

In recent years, several companies have introduced machines for preparing teas using capsules or pads . These pads, which are usually encased in cotton, are very similar to tea bags , but in a different format and often much more expensive.

Tea capsules have arrived along with coffee, but true tea lovers still do it the traditional way, with a thermometer to measure the temperature, a water heater, and a teapot. or large glass , small spoon filled with organic tea and a filter . This way, you can measure the exact time and quantity for each type of tea.
