COFFEE
part 9 of 23
  • Hard Bean means the coffee was grown at an altitude above 5000 feet.
  • Hawaii is the only state of the United States in which coffee is commercially grown. Hawaii features an annual Kona Festival, coffee picking contest. Each year the winner becomes a state celebrity. In Hawaii coffee is harvested between November and April.
  • Hills Brothers Ground Vacuum Packed Coffee was first introduced in 1900.
  • Iced coffee in a can has been popular in Japan since 1945.
  • If you like your espresso coffee sweet, you should use granulated sugar, which dissolves more quickly, rather than sugar cubes; white sugar rather than brown sugar or candy; and real sugar rather than sweeteners which alter the taste of the coffee.
  • In 1670, Dorothy Jones of Boston was granted a license to sell coffee, and so became the first American coffee trader.



    • Nine-tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time.

    When we were trick or treating in my neighborhood, my three year oldcousin came along. When we walked down the side of the street, andwhenever he saw a stop sign, he made us all stop in front of it, lookboth ways, then continue on.

    Late afternoons I often bathe.
    I'll soak in water piping hot.
    My essence goes through my see through clothes.
    Used up am I; I've gone to pot.
    What am I?



    I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.



    I would not know how I am supposed to feel about many stories if not for the fact that the TV news personalities make sad faces for sad stories and happy faces for happy stories.



    In my house I'm the boss, my wife is just the decision maker.
