The good news? There are other ways to still enjoy the flavor you love without all the cons. These 5 delicious treats are the perfect indulgence to get you going.
The Science Behind Coffee
If you’re a coffee geek and are still wondering ‘how does caffeine work?’, you’re about to find out. The simple answer is that caffeine is a natural stimulant naturally found in nature, in the leaves and fruits of some plants. You’ll also find caffeine in tea leaves, guarana seeds, cola, and even chocolate. And obviously, coffee.
What caffeine does is increase neural activity in your brain by speeding up the central nervous system. As soon as you down your morning coffee, you’ll get a hit of caffeine that is normally absorbed within an hour through your bloodstream. The magic happens when it gets to your brain.
As fate would have it, caffeine just so happens to have a similar structure to our adenosine. This organic compound promotes sleepiness and muscle relaxation. So when you drink coffee, the caffeine in it fights adenosine and wakes up other neurotransmitters like dopamine. As you probably guessed, that leads to the opposite effect, leaving you energetic and with heightened brain activity.
Best Flavor Combinations With Coffee
Chocolate – in case that wasn’t obvious, coffee really does enhance the flavors of chocolate. The two make the perfect pair. The flavor profiles of chocolate and coffee are similar, that’s why they work so well together.
Caramel – Coffee generally pairs beautifully with the flavors of caramel. The sweetness of the sugar combined with the slightly nutty notes from melting it cut through the bitterness and acidity of coffee wonderfully.
Dried Fruit – Another great food combination, fried fruit provides a lovely tartness that really compliments a dark roast coffee. Some of the best ones include dried pineapples, raisins, blackcurrant, and oranges.
Nuts – Nuts strike the perfect notes of salty and sweet, which means they pair remarkably well with coffee. Almonds, pecans, and hazelnuts in particular blend perfectly with the bold, nutty flavor of a darker roast.
