I've got some time to kill... so whilst having a nice cup of Java here are some facts about coffe (again, I pulled these from the web... so they might not all be factual facts (how's that for redundancy twice?)).

A cup of drip brewed coffee has 115 mg of caffeine, an espresso has about 80 mg, instant coffee has about 65 mg, and decaffeinated coffee has about 3 mg.

The word "tip" is also related to coffee. It comes from old London coffeehouses where the waiters' brass boxes were etched with the inscription, "To Insure Promptness."

The US Navy used to serve alcoholic beverages on board ships. However when Admiral Josephus "Joe" Daniels became Chief of Naval Operations, he outlawed alcohol on board ships, except for very special occasions. Coffee then became the drink of choice, hence the term "Cup of Joe".

The world's costliest coffee, at $130-$300 a pound , is called Kopi Luwak. It is in the droppings of a type of marsupial that eats only the very best coffee beans. Plantation workers track them and scoop their precious poop.

A Starbucks tall mocha contains 510 calories and 27 g. of fat. That is more fat than 3 bags of M&Ms. Even the soy milk version has 290 calories and 12 grams of fat.

Sprinkle dried coffee grounds outside doors and cracks. Coffee deters ants.

The first European coffee was sold in pharmacies in 1615 as a medicinal remedy.

Coffee and tea are great cleaning agents. Just a teaspoon or so of coffee or tea mixed with water can be used to dissolve grease and oil. Don't try this on anything you don't want stained, though.

Coffee plants grown in the shade can produce bean crops for up to 50 years, while sun grown coffee plants produce crops for only 10 to 15 years.

If you lined up side by side every cup of coffee sold by Dunkin' Donuts in one day, the line would stretch 85.23 miles.

Individuals who drink coffee regularly may have less response to the effects of caffeine than those who seldom drink coffee.
