Most expensive coffee

The world's most expensive coffee is the Kope Luwak coffee or (Civet Coffee). Recently, on ABC's NEWS money section, the price quoted for a cup of Kope Luwak coffee was $10 (2007). It's expensive because of limited supply primarily due to symbiotic nature of its manufacturing process. I think yo u can call it symbiotic because you need a palm civet (found in Southeast Asian country) to finish off the coffee beans. On

Truthorfiction.com , they say that the palm civet just happens to like to ingest the ripest and reddest coffee beans, which also happen to be the ones best for brewing. Something happens to the beans in the journey through the cat's intestines that gives it a flavor that is celebrated by coffee drinkers.

You missed a citation. Kope luwak was Edward Perriman Cole's (played by Jack Nicholson) favorite coffee in THE BUCKET LIST (2007) -- until Carter (played by Morgan Freeman) told him where it came from.

NYC new Congestion Pricing or Fees or Tax depending on which side of the fence you are on <<< Global Warming

Read on PhysOrg.com The most controversial idea in the plan ( NYC Plan 2030 ), from the mayor's Office of Long-term Planning and Sustainability , is a proposal to charge motorists for driving into Manhattan below 86th Street on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Trucks would be charged $21 a day and cars would be charged $8, on top of the city's already expensive parking. It is similar to a system that London (Congestion Charge) has used since 2003, and officials there say it has significantly reduced congestion. The scheme applauded by environmentalists and alternative transportation groups , but is politically tricky for New York City because it would have to be enacted by the state Legislature , and many lawmakers from outer boroughs and the suburbs may not support it.

Refrigerator engery saving strategy - New York Times

Q. Do refrigerators use more energy when filled with food? A. Not once the food gets cold. Government and commercial experts agree that the cooling section should be kept full, with enough room for some cool air to circulate for even cooling, and that the freezer compartment should be tightly packed, so the frozen foods can keep one another cold. If there is not enough food to fill the freezer, many suggest putting in more ice trays or some containers of water. Frozen food in a fully packed freezer will survive a power failure for quite a while if the door is kept shut. Some extra water containers in the cooling section will also minimize the amount of inrushing warm air that has to be cooled when the door opens and shuts. There are other ways to keep your refrigerator’s condenser from working overtime. It is permissible to let hot food cool somewhat before refrigerating it, as long as the cooling period is not long enough to permit bacterial growth. Never use warm or hot water t...
