How to stay hydrated in the summer heat
By Everyday Coffee Roasters

As the temperatures soar this summer, many people turn to cold drinks like iced tea, lemonade, and iced coffee to stay hydrated. However, did you know drinking hot coffee can also help you stay hydrated in the summer? Here are some tips on how to stay hydrated this summer with coffee.

  1. Drink coffee in moderation.

    While coffee can help you stay hydrated, drinking it in moderation is essential. Too much caffeine can lead to dehydration and other health issues. If you’re drinking coffee, be sure also to drink plenty of water to stay properly hydrated. According to the National Academy of Medicine, adults should aim to drink between 8-12 cups of water per day, depending on their body weight, activity level, and climate.

  2. Choose the correct type of coffee.

    Choosing the right type is essential if you’re trying to stay hydrated with coffee. Avoid sugary coffee drinks like frappuccinos and sweetened lattes, as they can dehydrate you. Instead, opt for black coffee, which is low in calories and won’t dehydrate you.

  3. Brew coffee with cold water.

    Brewing coffee with cold water is one way to make it more hydrating. Mix coarsely ground coffee with cold water and let it steep for 12-24 hours in the fridge. Then strain the mixture and enjoy. Cold-brewed coffee is less acidic than hot-brewed coffee, which makes it easier on your stomach and can help you stay hydrated.

  4. Add ice cubes.

    If you prefer hot coffee, add ice cubes to your cup to stay hydrated. It can help cool down the coffee and make it more refreshing. You can also add flavor to your coffee by using flavored ice cubes, such as fruit juice or mint leaves.

  5. Try iced coffee.

    Iced coffee is a great way to stay hydrated in the summer months. Brew your coffee as usual, let it cool down, and pour it over ice. Add milk or cream to your iced coffee for a richer flavor.

In conclusion, while it may seem counterintuitive, coffee can help you stay hydrated during the hot summer. Just be sure to drink it in moderation, choose the right type, and drink plenty of water alongside it. Happy hydrating!

Bolivia Irupana Fausto Machaca
By Everyday Coffee Roasters

Coffee has been in Bolivia for hundreds of years, but now a new generation of coffee farmers dedicated to producing high-quality coffee is taking the stage in Bolivia. For the first time in the country’s history, green coffee production has funding and support from the federal government, fueling the search for knowledge among dedicated young coffee professionals. The epicenter in the rise of Bolivian specialty coffee is in the Los Yungas region. Most farms came after a wave of migration to the area caused by Bolivia’s Agrarian Revolution in the 1950s.

And nearly a century later, this lot emerged from a single small farm belonging to Fausto Machaca and his family, a 4-acre farm near Caranaví in the Irupana municipality. Fausto and his family have been growing coffee in the Yungas region of Bolivia for over 50 years. Fausto carefully harvests the cherry, de-pulps, ferments, washes, and dries the coffee on patios and raised beds.

Since Bolivia is a landlocked coffee-producing country, farmers need help getting their coffee to the international market. Felix Chambi Garcia, through his leadership role at the San Juan cooperative, has become an important figure, helping producers with the logistics of moving coffee to the dry mill, where quality and traceability inspection during the preparation for export.

Ethiopia Organic Oromia
By Everyday Coffee Roasters

The Oromia Regional State is Ethiopia’s most significant, including over 110,000 square miles and 35 million people. It touches the borders of both Kenya to the south and South Sudan to the west. It has Ethiopia’s massive capital city, Addis Ababa, along with 65% of Ethiopia coffee growing territory as of 2014. Several famous coffee regions are included in whole or in part in Oromia: Jimma and Illubabor in the west; Harar to the northeast; Arsi, bordering Sidama in the mid-south, which produces many similar terroirs; and the Guji Zone.

The Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (OCFCU) is an umbrella organization established in 1999 by 34 individual cooperatives interested in centralizing resources and gaining leverage in the export market. As of 2020, OCFCU supports more than 400 individual cooperatives–more than 400,000 households, by far the country’s most significant unionization of farmers. Premiums from coffee exports are returned directly to farmers, and the union also funds organic farming programs, mill equipment purchases, and food security programs. OCFCU has established a central cupping lab to support quality control. It is a founding shareholder in its members’ bank, the Cooperative Bank of Oromia. It provides pre-harvest financing and crop insurance, both historically unavailable to rural farmers in Ethiopia. OCFCU has been Fairtrade and Organic certified since 2002 and has been one of the world’s largest suppliers of Fairtrade coffee.
