Obilo uzitkov ob gledanju in pozkusanju taksnih uzitnih umetnosti

Mmm, kofetek! Prej zaprisežena pivka pravih čajev sem se po porodniški resno priključila še med kofetarje. Fini sta mi močna turška in espreso, samo pri turški še nimam prave roke in dostikrat ni dobra. Recept žlica za skodelico žal ne drži, razen, če je skodelica res mikromajhna. No, espreso je pa pesem. Tisto grgranje in brbotanje, pa nevarnost, da se ventil zamaši in se zgodi bum zaradi previsokega tlaka...to so italijanske finte za napeto življenje. Espreso pijem Lavazzo in Barcaffe, je Lavazza kar boljša, turško pa trenutno Barcaffe, še vojne zaloge od številnih obiskovalcev.

Sm kofetarica, najrajši imam kapučino. Kaj je dejansko zdravo, bi se pa lahko razglabljalo na dolgo in široko.

Evo enega dobroga članka o kofeinu, samo je v Angleščini:

We all know what caffeine can do for our moods in the morning, but
caffeine is also increasingly celebrated in the dermatological
community for its impact on the skin.

For
years, caffeine's ability to quickly and effectively constrict blood
vessels has made it a valued topical ingredient, particularly in
products designed to minimize facial flushing. For that reason,
caffeine can be a tremendous boon to those who suffer from rosacea,
which is essentially caused by frequently dilated blood vessels that
lose their ability to contract.

La Roche Posay Rosaliac products, for example, are a great anti-inflammatory option for anyone who suffers from rosacea or facial redness. Topix Replenix CF Anti-Photoaging Complex SPF 45 is another excellent, well-rounded product that offers a blend of powerful antioxidants, caffeine, and sunscreen.

Caffeine's blood vessel-constricting benefits also make it a go-to ingredient in many eye creams (like MD Formulations Moisture Defense Antioxidant Eye Crème, for example), as it can quickly minimize redness and puffiness.

In
addition to its anti-inflammatory benefits, though, caffeine is
starting to get lots of attention for its antioxidant properties when
used both topically and orally. (That morning cup o' joe might not be so bad after all!)

In
fact, research suggests that both oral and topical caffeine may offer
powerful anticarcinogenic benefits. A series of studies performed on
mice found that caffeinated green and black teas prevented sun damage
and even repaired damage once it occurred, whereas decaffeinated teas
did not.

One particularly promising study suggested that
topical caffeine may also repair UV damage - and that it may prove to
be a stronger antioxidant than certain green tea polyphenols, currently
among the strongest and best-researched antioxidants around. (On a
related note, coffeeberry, which comes from the fruit of the coffee plant, is also getting a lot of attention lately as the next big antioxidant.)

Just
a couple words of caution, though: Caffeine is dehydrating, so be sure
to follow your coffee or tea with plenty of water. And if you're prone
to facial flushing, hot beverages can cause redness; consider enjoying
your caffeinated beverages over ice.

Wishing you great skin

Jaz pa pijem kavo z mlekom in pa kapučino. Se pa pazim, da ne spijem preveč kave, tako da če sem kdaj zelo zaspana sredi dneva, grem raje spat kot pa da se filam s kavo (če se da).

Jaz kavo obožujem in življenja brez nje si ne predstavljam.

Največ pijem espresso ali podaljšano. In tukaj so mi najboljše:
- lavazza 100% arabica espresso
- indian monsooned malabar (iz Cafetina)
- ena spešl: kava z aromo čokolade in pomaranče
zelo dobra je še:
- starbucks sveže mleta (iz kafetjerce)

Te štiri so tako dobre in dišeče, da jih kakršenkoli dodatek, recimo mleko, uniči.

V lokalih mi je najboljša: bar 2000 in lavazza.

Obožujem tudi cappucino in tisto ubijalsko dobro penco. Doma si jo naredim s sojinim mlekom, včasih pa tudi z navadnim. Vedno obvezno penco posujem še s cimetom, ki je pika na i pri cappucinu (saj zame).

Ostalo:
Izjemno huda je bela kava z vanilijo v Zvezdi. Sanjske so tudi vse tiste kavice iz Santane oz. Santaninih lokalčkov v večjih nakupovalnih centrih, kjer imaš na izbiro fore kot je: bounty kava in podobno.

No, ena spešl in neverjetno dobra je pa tudi moja lastna: pollybucks

Kaj vse pa daš noter, Kiely? Izgleda res okusno.

Ti bom kar kopirala recept iz mojega FBja:

V kozarec nalomiš milko mandlej-krokant, preliješ s kavo (espresso),
potreseš z lešniki-krokant, dodaš smetano, spet posuješ z
lešniki-krokant, na koncu pa še poliješ s sladkim grehom - karamela.
