National Coffee Day:What you need to know about your morning brew

National Coffee Day:What you need to know about your morning brew

Monday is National Coffee Day and there are a number of freebies with 1.7 billion cups of coffee consumed worldwide daily, there's no debating the need to celebrate. But how much do you really know about your morning brew? We've rounded up some favorite facts.
Let's start from what's in coffee covered.You may be surprised to find that a cup of coffee is 98% water. Or that the intoxicating coffee bean aroma comes from a cockroach pheromone -- coffee contains 2-Ethylphenol, which cockroaches use to warn one another of danger. Mix that with Acetylmethylcarbinol (also found in butter) and the sweet and earthy scent of Trigonelline, and you've got pure magic. Coffee also contains 3,5 Dicaffeoylquinic acid, which protects your brain from free radical damage.
Do you know how coffee goes from a bean to what you sip from your favorite mug? BizBrain.org released a handy graphic showing how coffee starts as beans planted in large beds in shaded nurseries, in an area known as the "bean belt" just above and below the equator. Countries in the bean belt include Cuba, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Guatemala, Mexico and more.When a coffee tree grows, its fruit is called cherries. When the cherries are deep red in color, they are ready to be harvested. A machine picks the cherries off the tree, then they are either dry or wet processed using the sun or a fermentation tank. Machines remove the parchment layer of the husk, then the beans are polished, sorted and shipped.Before the beans reach your favorite store, a "cupper" evaluates the beans by sight, smell and taste. Roasting turns the green beans into the deep brown color we're familiar with. And here in the U.S., we're excited about our coffee. According to EspressoMachine.com, the U.S. is responsible for 35% of the world's coffee consumption, while Italy has more than 200,000 espresso bars.
Before you go hopping from one shop to another in the quest for free coffee, be sure to tell your loved ones about these great restaurants all over the country. Share coffee, share love! Wishing you all a happy Coffee Day! Wanna get a unique custom coffee mugs,Welcome to Snapmade.com for more details.

What awesome features of iPhone 6 camera you know?

What awesome features of iPhone 6 camera you know?

After years of eschewing larger screen sizes, These days,Apple has finally submitted to peer pressure and released two significantly larger iPhones,iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. The iPhone 6 may be the more petite of the two, but it’s still significantly bigger than the 4-inch iPhone 5S.It’s pretty much standard that every phone release will debut significant camera updates. But identifying the ways that the iPhone 6 camera betters the 5S takes a little digging. There have been volumes written about the larger 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch screens, but lots of people are also clammoring over the extra crisp camera. Despite touting the same resolution as the 5S, the iPhone 6 has some notable improvements. Here are nine awesome features included in the iPhone 6 camera.
The big update is the iPhone 6’s Consistently faster autofocusing technology, a.k.a “Focus Pixels.” Faster and more consistent than past iterations, the camera will decrease the likelihood of taking a blurry shot, thanks to the phase-detection autofocus system. Reportedly, the 6 will focus twice as fast than the 5S. That means you won’t have to wait long after tapping the screen to focus the camera (or just let it handle focus on its own).The 6’s iSight rear camera has the ability to record Full HD 1080 video at 60 frames per second (fps). Considering that the 5S sports a similar camera – albeit at 30 fps – the 6 produces a slightly sharper picture.Ever wanted to take a sequence of selfies in one second from the front camera? Now you can. Burst mode – that camera feature that snaps 10 photos per second – has been built into the iPhone 6’s front camera. The phone can even analyze photos from your burst session and show you the “best” ones, a.k.a. display the clearest shots and the ones where everybody’s eyes are open.Better slow-motion shotsThe 5S introduced the ability to record slow-motion video. And the iPhone 6 gives several small updates. With the 6, you’ll be able to record slow-mo video at 120 or 240 fps. That’s a bit more flexible than the the slow-mo option on the 5S, which only allows for recording 120 fps. Though, be aware, slow motion video is a pretty easy way to create massive file sizes.With the release of iOS 8, all iPhones (including the 6’s) will get the ability to record time-lapse videos. The feature doesn’t allow for much in the way of granular controls, but it will automatically take photos in increments and then assemble them into a time-lapse sequence. This is significant, as time-lapse photography was a complex task to pull off in the past.
The release of iOS 8 has opened the gates for third-party developers to take advantage of some of the granular controls within the iPhone camera. Some apps are already available in the App Store.If you wanna get your iPhone 6 a special and protective casecustomize a iPhone 6 case by yourself at Snapmade.com.
