If you drink soda you will gain weight. Artificial anything is not good for you. Drink coffee or tea.

I would definitely recommend Laduree on Champs Elysee for tea and macaroons. It is a little pricey but just delicious !

What is appealing about beer?

I would suggext trying some fruit beers to start with. Like Linderman's fruit beer. It's delicious. You can move on to lighter fruiter ales like blue moon. You shoud definitely give beer another try !

Tips for Choosing Supermarket Coffee

I take my coffee very seriously. have more than 3 cups a day !!

Lately I have been drinking this really great organic blend - it has a bright bold flavor.. I found it at whole foods in fresno But I have not been able to find it here in LA. I order it online and it arrive fresh to my apt.

Weaver's is a great cup for coffee for any of you who LOVE coffee. just found it on facebook
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Weavers-Coffee-Tea/94652887232

I would definitely reccomend atleast checking it out!

Barista in the Wild, Part 4: A Relationship With Espresso

I agree ! there is very little hope there
I have had some great espressos back in my days as an intern in Paris and I tried some starbucks espresso the other day - it does not even come close !

Barista In The Wild, Part 3: Working Toward Coffee Sustainability

That was a great link! The concept of sustainability Awarness become a very important issue when it comes to a commondity that is traded at such an enormous scale like coffee.

Even though Fair Trade and Organic Certified does not ensure a quality product, it is definitely a step towards a better quality coffee ! And sometimes a great tasting one too!
