Choose the Right Coffee to Get You Out of Bed

In the cold winter months, it's nearly impossible to look at getting out of bed as anything other than a chore. Your cozy bed seems to envelop you beneath the warm blankets and just the thought of your feet hitting the floor makes you hit snooze one more time.

We can help you choose the right coffee to get you out of bed - try Zavida's Organic Rainforest Alliance Espresso!

But what's the science behind why espresso makes waking up a little easier? Read on to find out.

HOW ESPRESSO WORKS

It's well-known that espresso is a miracle drink that will always perk you up. But how does it do that?

Research shows that one espresso shot contains anywhere from 45 to 75 milligrams of caffeine per ounce. Talk about packing a punch! To give you an idea of how potent espresso is, drip coffee, on the other hand, contains just 20 milligrams of caffeine per ounce.

That makes espresso the best way to get a quick buzz in the morning. Not to mention - looking forward to the delicious taste of Zavida's espresso helps you to get moving as well.

WHAT IF ESPRESSO IS TOO BITTER FOR ME?

Sipping shots of espresso isn't the only way to reap its fast-caffeinating benefits. You can also make delicious, sweet, caffeinated drinks with it!

For example, if you find it difficult to drink a shot of espresso, but enjoy coffee, try making a homemade Americano. Simply pour yourself a shot of espresso and top it off with boiling water. This essentially makes a coffee drink, but it packs more of a punch because of the caffeine properties found in espresso. If you still find that too bitter, try adding some sugar!

Want even more of a flair? Try a shot of espresso mixed with steamed milk and a few pumps of your favourite sweetener - we recommend a little maple syrup! You won't be disappointed in this sweet treat, and when you finish it, you'll have enough energy to start your morning.

If you're looking for the best coffee to wake you up, don't forget to try Zavida's espresso coffee.
