The received wisdom is that coffee dehydrates you. Fact. Period. No arguments. But a new study shows that, actually, in moderation, coffee is no less hydrating than water.

Coffee versus tea, and the never ending debate seems to go on and on without any kind of conclusion. It would be pretty much be the same as that of cat and dog owners duking it out verbally, without any conclusive evidence, although personally I would say that dogs would win hands down any time of the day (or night) that it is the far better pet to own. Well, if you are a coffee lover, then you might want to check out the $199.95 Bitterness Eliminating Coffee Maker which would be ideal for those who love the fruit of the land, but cannot really take the bitter taste.
Just how does the Bitterness Eliminating Coffee Maker work? It will be able to maintain an optimal temperature throughout the entire brewing process, where it will eliminate bitterness so that you end up with a far more flavorful cup. It will be different from traditional coffee makers which kick off the brewing process before all of the water has been heated, as this particular model would wait until it has arrived at the barista’s recommended temperature, where it ensures all the water is held in the stainless steel reservoir until it is ready to percolate over the grounds. As the end result? You are able to extract a richer flavor from the beans, while doing away with the bitter or flat taste which happens when brewing at a lower or higher temperature. Not only that, there is an LCD control panel which would allow you to program the device to brew at home automatically at a time of your appointment.

Coffee is a fickle mistress. Take a sip too soon and you risk searing your tongue, wait too long and it becomes undrinkably tepid. But with this ingenious phase-change mug prototype, your coffee will cool to a perfectly drinkable 140 degrees and stay there for hours.

Bonaverde’s new idea is beguiling: One machine that can roast, grind, and brew your coffee. Those last two have long gone together, but the first part is novel.

If you work in an office where people are constantly stealing your coffee mug from the staff kitchen, here’s a fun way to keep all your mugs organized. You can stack numerous coffee mugs in these interlocking LEGO-like cubbies, giving each person their own little place to store their mug.
Each square ceramic mug slides neatly into its cubbyhole, and you can pretty much have as many mug cubbies as you want. Though I’m guessing if you stack them more than three or four rows high without some sort of sticky stuff to hold them against the wall.
Individual stackable mugs go for $19.99(USD) each, while a set of four sells for $74.99 over at ThinkGeek. While that’s not exactly cheap for a set of mugs, they’re definitely some of the cooler ones you’ll find. I guess you could always build a structure from actual LEGO bricks, and buy some of these.

The beautiful Milky Way is above us and around us but is also actually in our coffee cups too. What? Just watch Modernist Cuisine pour creamer into coffee in super slow motion, it’s like watching another galaxy form or something. Life should have a slow motion mode so we can appreciate the little things.

Trains are awesome. Their serpentine strings of steel cars travel hundreds of miles an hour, yet give passengers enough stability to sip a tasty beverage. On the other hand, trains are awful. Have you ever seen the sickly cafe cars that serve those drinks?
