Got Coffee? I don’t know about you but a steaming, grande, white chocolate, soy latte, does it for me in the morning. I travel alot and so get to drink coffee in lots of places. Your basic road side truck stop as well as your well heeled Starbucks in Seattle.
What makes coffee so wonderful. Why are we addicted…we don’t admit it, but yes addicted to this treat. Where did it come from? How is it made? Why do I LOVE it so?
This page is homage to my love…so thought would involve you in my mental exercise. Comment and join in. Add your insights about your favorite spots, and favorite cups.
I have another odd habit. I have several cabinets full of coffee cups. It all began with being stranded in an airport. In the winter, you can be stuck in a lot of airports. So I started out buying cups in airports I got stuck in. The cups mounted.
Now when friends of mine go on the exotic vacations that I can not go on, to China, Mongolia, Japan, Texas…they bring me back a cup….preferably gaudy if at all possible. So I hope to share pictures of some of the cool cups and stories about them.
If you have a strange coffee related habit…one that the family can read about on the internet and not shun you forever, let us know. I don’t want to hear about coffee enemas please, I know they are healthy, but I don’t want to hear about how you did one on yourself….I have to draw the line somewhere.
Welcome to the Coffee Mall…look around…have fun….meet friends.

Having your own espresso machine
One thing you have to check out for in an espresso maker is the build up of scale or minerals. Lime scale can easily build up and affect the functioning of your machine. It can also affect the taste of your coffee. First thing you have to do to get rid of these lime scales is to descale your espresso machine. You have to do this about every 2 or 3 months.
First step is to turn off the machine and let it cool. You may use a descaling solution consisting of vinegar or lemon and water solution. Then pour the solution into the water reservoir of the machine. Then turn on the machine and let the solution be pumped through the nozzle to allow cleaning. Repeat this procedure about 4 to 5 times to completely get rid of the scales. It is important to keep your machines in good running condition to make sure that you will always have that good tasting coffee anytime you want.
