Mäni's Morsels     "Good and Good For You"   Wednesday, July 21, 2004

Welcome to
Mäni's Morsels!

 

If it's Wednesday, it must be Costa Rica. This week we continue our tour of Mäni's Bakery Café's beverage menu and take you to Costa Rica, home of the fine, gourmet coffee we prepare for you every day. Mäni's is proud to feature Café Britt coffee, brought to you from a five-acre plantation, high in the mountains of Costa Rica near the historic city of Barva. This area is known as the Central Valley region and is surrounded by the very coffee bushes that produce the coffee. Café Britt is one of the only coffee companies in the world with the ability to monitor and account for every step in the coffee producing process because it is completely produced in its country of origin: harvested, milled, patio dried, roasted, and packed.  Cafe Britt's website has a lot of great facts about coffee, roasting, cupping (kind of like wine tasting), as well as recipes for coffee drinks. And, have you ever wondered how much caffeine is in a cup of java? Here's a comparison from the Café Britt web site:   Beverage Caffeine content (mg) 8 oz. cup of coffee 65 -120 8 oz. cup of Decaffeinated coffee 0.2 - 0.4 1.5 - 2 oz. shot of espresso 80 - 100 12 oz. cola drink 38 - 45 8 oz. cup of tea 20 - 50 8 oz. cup of hot cocoa 2 - 20 Back to Mäni's.  Our house coffee is Costa Rican and we offer it in both regular and decaf.  You can also purchase Café Britt beans both in regular and decaf and light or dark roast, so you can brew it exactly the way you want it in the comfort of your own home.  If you're wondering why we're talking about coffee during these hot, burning days of summer, we're here to remind you that an iced coffee drink can be unbeatable when you need a lift and a respite from the heat.  Won't you join us for a cup of coffee this week? P.S.  Next time you're at Mäni's, try a cup of Costa Rican with a Black Bottom Banana Cream Tart -- you'll think you're in heaven!
