      <title>How to Make a REAL Cup of Coffee</title>

      <description>&lt;IMG SRC=&quot;http://www.duke.edu/web/soc142/team8/Roasted_coffee_beans.jpg&quot; ALIGN=LEFT width=200 ALT=&quot;How to Make a REAL Cup of Coffee   - news.reriani.com&quot;&gt;  (&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.reriani.com&quot;&gt;Reriani Communications&lt;/a&gt;) --- You could follow a sucker&#039;s guide to buying your way into making good coffee but assuming you&#039;re not a simple minded consumer monkey, this will tell you how to actually make good coffee. It comes down to taste, but in order to understand the process you need to understand the chemistry involved. There are a few key points that you should bear in mind but they are just common sense really; buy good coffee, have a decent grinder and strainer and clean them between uses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simple physics would dictate that the finer you grind coffee, the greater the surface area, which means more can be extracted. However, after a while certain chemicals are extracted that does not add to the taste but ruin it. Allowing too much water to come into contact with ground for too long will lead to over-extraction, and ultimately ruin the taste. You can control this by determining the grind and amount of time the coffee is strained for. There is no perfect grind; it&#039;s a case of trial and error, depending on your preference and the quality of the coffee.</description>

      <title>Stainless Steel Vs Other Water Dispensers </title>
      <link>http://news.reriani.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=17316</link>

Aside from the benefits of having fresh purified water on demand, these sleek and stylish stainless steel water dispensers offer a beautiful touch to just about any decor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These free standing dispensers come in several models.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Bottom loading dispensers: Allows you to load bottled water from the bottom of the unit and it pumps up to the spigots. This is a very nice style because it does not take as much strength or effort to replace when the water gets low. In fact, with these bottom loading dispensers, you just might be able to avoid a painful back injury by not having to lift heavy bottles above the waist to your chest.&lt;br /&gt;    * Top loading dispensers: These conventional dispensers have been around for a long time in both the home and office settings. Unlike the bottom loaders, these dispensers require a bit more strength because you actually have to lift them up and place them on top of the dispenser to refill them. A downside to these dispensers is that many times when replacing the water, you end up spilling and splashing water around. Nobody likes cleaning up a mess.&lt;br /&gt;    * Direct Connect Dispensers: These types of connecters are very nice to have however, they require a bit more installation due to the fact that they use a water line tied into the plumbing, usually somewhere under the sink. Like the refrigerator dispensers, these direct connect dispensers also have built in filters that need replaced on a regular basis.</description>

It&#039;s been in business since 1948 and is known for its exceptional prime rib. They are conveniently located 1/3 mile north of highway 40/64 between Conway and Ladue roads or from the Airport, they are just 7 1/2 miles south of highway 70, just a 1/2 mile south of Ladue road on the west side of Lindbergh. George Tompras and his sister, Renee Bogdanos, were raised in the restaurant business. Taking over Kreis&#039; Restaurant from their father, Byron, who died in 1989, the pair has worked hard to keep alive his passion for food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tompras, who is of Greek descent, says food is in his blood. &quot;The reason why you see so many Greeks...go into the restaurant business is because they are typically very proud, strong-willed and independent people who are also very passionate about food,&quot; Tompras says. &quot;They have a concept of family which they extend to their customers.&quot; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stlcommercemagazine.com/archives/may2004/taste.html&quot; title=&quot;http://www.stlcommercemagazine.com/archives/may2004/taste.html&quot; rel=&quot;external&quot;&gt;http://www.stlcommercemagazine.com/archives/may2004/taste.html&lt;/a&gt;)</description>

Launched by three friends in Seattle in May 2009, the parent company, Black Rock Spirits, has expanded from their initial two state pilot launch to distribution in 20 states in just one year. The company expects to sell well over $1m of bacon-flavored vodka this year. The popularity among drinkers is due in part to the vodka&#039;s reputation for enhancing the Bloody Mary. &quot;Not surprisingly, it makes for what is quite possibly the best Bloody Mary of all time.&quot; says Richard Goldsmith, the Spirits Reviewer for Fox News&#039; BYO. &quot;The Bakon Mary is here to stay,&quot; says co-founder Sven Liden. &quot;People who try a Bloody Mary with the smoky flavor of bacon won&#039;t go back.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The high quality potato vodka has won acclaim with professional tasters and judges, too. Matthew Cloutier of Food &amp; Beverage World says that it is &quot;among the smoothest vodkas I have ever had with absolutely no bite... It gave the drink a hint of smokiness and of course a subtle bacon flavor that really, really worked well.&quot;</description>
