Preparation
Espresso brewingMain article: Coffee preparation
The processing of coffee typically refers to the agricultural and industrial processes needed to deliver whole roasted coffee beans to the consumer. Grinding the roasted coffee beans is done at a roastery, in a grocery store, or at home. It is most commonly ground at the roastery and sold to the consumer ground and packaged, though "whole-bean" coffee that is ground at home is becoming more popular despite the extra effort required. A grind is referred to by its brewing method. "Turkish" grind, the finest, is meant for mixing straight with water, while the coarsest grinds, such as coffee percolator or French press, are at the other extreme. Midway between the extremes are the most common: "drip" and "paper filter" grinds, which are used in the most common home coffee brewing machines. The "drip" machines operate with near-boiling water passed in a slow stream through the ground coffee in a paper filter. The espresso method uses more advanced technology to force very hot (not boiling) water, through the ground coffee, resulting in a stronger flavor and chemical changes with more coffee bean matter in the drink. Once brewed, it may be presented in a variety of ways: on its own, with sugar, with milk or cream, hot or cold, and so on. Roasted arabica beans are also eaten plain and covered with chocolate. See the article on coffee preparation for a comprehensive list.
A number of products are sold for the convenience of consumers who don't want to prepare their own coffee. Instant coffee has been dried into soluble powder or freeze dried into granules, which can be quickly dissolved in hot water for consumption. Canned coffee is a beverage that has been popular in Asian countries for many years, particularly in Japan and South Korea. Vending machines typically sell a number of varieties of canned coffee, available both hot and cold. To match the often busy life of Korean city dwellers, companies mostly have canned coffee with a wide variety of tastes. Japanese convenience stores and groceries also have a wide availability of plastic-bottled coffee drinks, which are typically lightly sweetened and pre-blended with milk. Lastly, liquid
liquid coffee concentrate is sometimes used in large institutional situations where coffee needs to be produced for thousands of people at the same time. It is described as having a flavor about as good as low-grade robusta coffee, and costs about 10 cents a cup to produce. The machines used to process it can handle up to 500 cups an hour, or 1,000 if the water is preheated.[15]
The Basic drinks are actually very low in fat. The average is 3-5 grams of fat for a 16oz Grandé.
Whipped cream added to any drink is where the source of most of the drink's fat content. In comparison:
A 16oz Grandé Caramel Frappuccino Blended Coffee with no whipped cream has 280 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 57 grams of carbs, and 48 grams of sugar. However, with whipped cream, the nutritional values change to 430 calories, 16 grams of fat, 61 grams of carbs, and 52 grams of sugars. With the "Light" recipe and no whipped cream, the drink has 180 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 36 grams of carbs and 26 grams of sugar. While the blended créme is still "low in fat", it is not low in calories, carbohydrates, or sugar.
The Créme is said to be "made with" skim milk as part of the base, which does reduce the fat, the addition of the "CBB" mix to the milk radically changes the nutritional values due to the high amount of sugar used in part not only to flavor the drink, but to thicken it. This is why Starbucks only refers to the Créme as containing "milk", in an attempt to not mis-represent the drink by mentioning it is made using Skim Milk which is fat free.
Starbucks has promoted the Frappuccino as being a "Low Fat" drink with their "light" version, which has calories and total fat cut in half. The Frappuccino Light blended coffee beverages are also made with Splenda brand sweetener in place of sugar

Caffeine in flora and beans is an insect poison. perhaps it really is why the insects stay away. I french press my espresso for no less than ten minutes with 100 and forty F/60C warm water. Makes low acid, finished flavor espresso.
