WEATHER IN YOUR COFFEE CUP

Did you know that your morning cup of coffee can help you predict rain?  It’s a trick used by backpackers that can come in handy for anyone planning to be out of doors: pour a cup of coffee and carefully watch the bubbles. 

Backpacker Magazine writes, If the bubbles amass in the center, you’re in a high-pressure system, which is making the coffee’s surface convex (higher in the middle). Since bubbles are mostly air, they migrate to the highest point.  Bubbles in the middle of your coffee cup mean it’s going to be a beautiful day.  

If the bubbles form a ring around the sides of the mug, you’re in a low-pressure system, making the surface concave.  Bubbles on the sides of your coffee mug means that rain is likely.

Note: It has to be strong, brewed coffee to have enough oil to work, and the mug must have straight sides.

To make new bubbles, simply give your coffee a good stir.

Wow!  Now you can forecast the weather in Kona Cowboy Coffee Company’s four brands of gourmet coffees.  But if it looks cloudy, take an umberella.  You’ll get a great cup of joe with PANIOLA 100% Kona Cowboy Coffee, grown on Hawaiian volcanoes and roasted in the Rocky Mountains … the one with no bitter aftertaste and no acidity.  CAFÉ PINON de Nuevo Mexico is the Southwest’s favorite with pinion nuts and a perfect way to improve your coffee experience during the day.  And our MOKA-JAVA is a medium dark roasted blend of Indonesian and Ethiopian coffees that just might be high octane!   We also make COWBOY ACTION COFFEE, the Official Coffee of the Single Action Shooting Society!
