How Do Coffee Beans Become Decaffeinated?

Coffee is always great, but sometimes you want a cup of joe and not the caffeine that comes with it. Maybe it’s late in the day and the caffeine will keep you up all night. Maybe you’ve already had several cups and don’t want to get those caffeine jitters. Or maybe you are just trying to cut down on your caffeine intake in general. Regardless of your reasons, sometimes, when that craving for hot bean juice hits, it’s nice to have the option for a cup of decaf! But how exactly does coffee become decaffeinated? We are here to explain!

CAFE SESSION WITH STEVE: MAY 2022

Can you believe we are officially in summer!? Okay, well maybe not literally, but “summer season” is definitely here! The sun is out (and stays out until almost 9pm – finally), if you forget your jacket when you go out the evening it’s no big deal, pools are open, and camping is back! In fact, I went camping this last weekend, and let me tell you – it was full on summer vibes. Drinks, lawn games, laughs and chilling! It also was a great way for me to “research” one of your latest questions: HOW TO BREW COFFEE WHEN YOU’RE CAMPING

CAFE SESSION WITH STEVE: APRIL 2022

The first part of 2022 has quickly come and gone and all of a sudden, we’ve entered full Spring mode! Is it just me, or does it seem like it has been forever since the months have flown by? I swear, for the last two years, each month has dragged along while we were continuously waiting for the next mask mandate or restaurant restrictions to come around. 2022 has time flying by though, and I for one, am embracing it with open arms! That said, this is still the “early days” of spring, so maybe don't plant those flowers just yet. Last year around this time we saw snow coming down all the way through May. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn't enjoy this awesome weather we’ve been experiencing! In fact, I encourage you to get out there and partake in some of the many activities taking place in Denver right now! This is the perfect segue into our first Café Session Question this month: Are there any good concerts or events coming up in Denver?

CAFE SESSION WITH STEVE: MARCH 2022

Do you know what I’m excited about? It's not because it seems like we are finally through that vicious cycle of 70 degree weather but then also snow every 6 days. Sure, this past weekend was beautiful! But do you know how many times I've taken out my golf clubs to play a round in the last few weeks just to have it snow the next day?? Too many. I’m stoked because The Sherriff has decided to come to town...Russell Wilson is officially a Bronco!!! And I can't wait for this upcoming season to see what comes of the gauntlet built in the AFC West.

Okay, now to your questions: How Much Coffee Is Safe To Drink In A Day?

15 Facts That Make Coffee Cooler!

Welcome to the wonderful world of coffee! Coffee might be the most interesting beverage on the planet - it is planted, harvested, picked, sorted, dried, roasted, ground, and finally brewed before it is ready to drink. Aside from being versatile and allowing for customization to guzzle down your caffeinated drink from your local coffee shop, there are many other aspects to coffee besides its "wake me up” affect that are also beneficial to your body and mind.

Here are some fun facts about coffee that you may not have known (and that we think – makes coffee even cooler!):

CAFE SESSION WITH STEVE: FEBRUARY 2022

We are officially heading out of February and into March, which is the best month of the year if you ask me! The sun starts to peek it's head out again to melt all the snow in a days notice. More importantly, the best non-single day sporting event (March Madness) starts up in the middle of the month, coincidentally on the same day as St. Patrick’s Day this year, which should make for one heck of a Thursday! My recommendation? Mark March 17 on your calendar and maybe plan to "work from home" on March 18th.

CAFE SESSION WITH STEVE: JANUARY 2022

Well, it finally happened... We experienced some real snow in Denver, and it couldn't be any more welcomed. Colorado needs the moisture, the mountains need the snow, and now we can actually say it is winter here. Hopefully your tires are ready since it seems like the city isn’t too concerned about plowing the roads, (though in fairness this jobs shortage thing is no joke – seriously, have you seen how empty the grocery stores are lately?). Anyway, for this month’s Cafe Session, I’m talking Winter Blues and how to mitigate them with some fun winter activities around town. I also answer the age-old question: wtf are "flavor crystals"?
