Coffee offers one of the quickest jolts of energy you can get when you’re feeling sluggish. We’re talking about going from blah to ‘pow’ in about 10-minutes flat. Coffee is also a great source of vitamins and antioxidants, including Potassium, Niacin, Magnesium, Manganese, Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), and Pantothenic Acid (B5). It can boost your metabolism by as much as 10 percent to help you stay trim, and it also has properties that could help your body fight both heart disease and Diabetes II.
But we’re not really questioning if coffee could be better for you, but if there are ‘better’ ways to brew it–And the answer is yes!
Poppy Pour-Over Coffee Machine

OXO Good Grips Cold Brew Coffee Maker
Hot water and coffee grounds go together like oil and water if your a stickler for a less bitter and acidic taste to your coffee. The cold-brew process of the OXO system helps deliver a smoother cup that stays fresh longer than normal (about two weeks). And thanks to its 32-ounce borosilicate carafe, you can get as many as 12 to 14 cups out of its resulting concentrate. All you need to do then is add hot water (or hot milk) for a traditional cup of coffee, or ice and water for the iced variety.
