If you are addicted to a great cup of coffee, you are aware that making your own before leaving the
house can save you a ton of money. It can be difficult, however, to achieve coffee-house quality. This

If you have diabetes or want to lose weight,
try Stevia instead of real sugar. Stevia is a
sugar substitute made from plants. It can
sweeten your coffee without the unnecessary
sugar. It can be found in fine grocers and
health food stores.
Coffee is not necessarily an unhealthy drink.
Coffee itself will not harm you; it is the vast

carafe. This leaves the bean's oils within the coffee, giving it a rich flavor.

Coffee comes in a wide variety of choices. Some like it dark and strong, and some like it light and
