Coffee And Water

Members Were Sparked

I use to fill up on coffee by not limiting how much I was drinking and filling it with empty creamer calories. Now I make sure that I have 8 oz of water before each cup of coffee and I only drink 2 cups of coffee. I also make sure the coffee isn't ready until I have at least started my breakfast.

MORE INFORMATION:
It is easy ignore how many extra calories you are getting by not measuring creamer or filling up on coffee and then you are starving later. I had to break the habit and stop it from wreaking my daily calorie limit. I stopped coffee all together for a few weeks until I could manage the addiction.

First Drink of the Day Water

I fill my coffee mug with water, so I have to drink the water first before I have my coffee.

Keep Coffee Tasting Like .....Coffee

Over time, your coffee-maker will build up a "plaque" of calcium and other minerals & gradually build up a mineral deposit that cuts off the flow of water - just like heart disease.

Make your coffee pot last up to four times longer and keep that real coffee taste. Once every 6-8 weeks add a half cup of vinegar to the water and let it cycle through.

Simply rinse with another cycle of plain water and your coffee will continue to taste great and won't get "hardening of it's arteries".

Keeping My Coffee Hot

I have one cup a coffee once or twice a week so I like to make it last. The only problem is that it does get cold so fast. To keep my coffee warm longer, I pour very hot tap water into my coffee cup while my coffee is brewing. I pour out the hot water and pour in the coffee. Works like a charm!
