The Mystery of Decaffeinated Coffee
Caffeine has become America's most popular drug by far. 90% of Americans consume caffeine in one form or another every single day. Most of it comes from drinking coffee. But if you're a coffee lover who prefers to avoid caffeine, you can still enjoy a cup of coffee that delivers rich flavor with decaffeinated coffee.
It's how the caffeine is extracted from coffee beans that is a mystery for most of us. These are some of the methods currently used for decaffeinating.
Direct Contact Method
In the direct contact method the beans come directly in contact with decaffeinating agents, such as methylene chloride, after being softened by water or steam. Caffeine is removed by directly soaking the materials in the methylene chloride.
Indirect Contact Method
With the indirect contact method a water and coffee solution is used to draw off the caffeine. The solution containing the caffeine is then treated with a decaffeinating agent, such as ethyl acetate, and mixed back into the beans for re-absorption of the flavorings.Sometimes this method is referred to as naturally decaffeinated because ethyl acetate is a chemical found naturally in many fruits.

Coffee Grounds & Your Future
Reading your fortune with coffee is a lot like taking a Rorschach test. You need to get the big picture and interpret the symbols correctly to know what lies ahead.Hereโs the step-by-step guide to how to prepare to read coffee grounds:
โข Use a white cup to get an accurate reading
โข Grind your beans as usual. You can use espresso, but do not allow cream, milk or sugar or anything else to be added
โข Heat water to a boil
โข Make your coffee in a French press as usual
โข Then add a large pinch of coffee grounds to your cup and pour the freshly made coffee over it. Then stir.
โข Drink the coffee by holding both hands on the cup
โข When finished drinking the coffee, tip the cup on a 90 degree angle and slowly turn the cup to allow all excess grounds to be expelled onto a saucer. Do not tap the cup. Do not swirl more than 3 times.
There are three things to consider when reading coffee grounds: the rim, the middle and the bottom of the cup. The bottom is your past, the middle is you present and the top is your future. You need to look for shapes and patterns.

โข Cakes & Pies: Good fortune
โข Cigarettes: You must follow through on your plan
โข Cows: Meeting an old flame
โข Elephants: Ask for a favor
โข Garlic: Strength against an aggressive person
