(Food-Beverage-News.Com, September 26, 2014 ) Oakland, CA -- In the 24 hours people have in a day, eight hours, at the least, is dedicated to work. And in those eight hours, it is no longer a surprise how people struggle to stay up and alert. Some would take breaks, take a short walk, or listen to music. But for most people, a cup of coffee does the trick to perk up and keep up. Most of the time, however, coffee consumption is being abused. Thus, it is crucial to have a tool that can accurately measure even small food items such as coffee.
In one of its 2014 Amazon reviews, the Finesseur Food Scale for home kitchens was given a 5-star rating for its efficiency in helping the customer with his everyday meals. Despite being an avid coffee drinker, Amazon customer Charlie is careful not to overdo it and so he makes sure to measure the quantity of coffee he uses in every serving. "I am happy with the device and use it every day -- mostly for coffee beans and spices but now using it to weigh dry stuff like flour [or] bread."
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends that a person with no medical issues should only have a maximum of 400 milligrams of caffeine per day. It is a common habit for most people to measure quantity of food items by the cup. However, since there is not a single uniform measurement for all cups in the world, just using any cup for measuring could be almost like guessing. On top of that, the size and the type of coffee beans to be used also yields a different amount of caffeine.
Two teaspoons of regular instant coffee, for example, fetches about 60 milligrams of caffeine in a cup of coffee. On the other hand, an ounce of espresso provides an additional 65 milligrams of caffeine.
In truth, properly determining the amount of caffeine can be challenging, especially since coffee grains or beans come in such small bits. Still, making and measuring coffee at home would be better than just ordering ready-made coffee elsewhere. Consequently, having a perfectly efficient tool to measure small food items, such as coffee, would prove to be a good investment.
The Finesseur digital kitchen scale is equipped with four FinXact weight sensors which provide it the ability to weigh even the lightest and smallest of items. When dealing with various units of measurements, this home food scale also has all the important kitchen measurements which customers are familiar with: pounds (lb), ounces (oz), grams (g), fluid ounces (fl. oz), and milliliters (ml).
Finesseur Spokesperson, Allison Montgomery, who is no stranger to the daily grind of work, recognizes the significance coffee plays in people's lives, and yet upholds the greater importance of controlling caffeine intake. "Coffee has been around for centuries and has played such a vital role in our lives. With people becoming more and more busy, coffee consumption seems like something that will just continue, if not increase. We at Finesseur acknowledge this and so we created a tool that can definitely help people control, not only their caffeine intake, but all their meals as well, with no issues," Montgomery says.
Studies have shown that too much consumption of caffeine can lead to numerous problems like insomnia, heart problems, liver damage, osteoporosis, and even some psychosis-like symptoms. In the end, caffeine should still be considered an addictive substance that must be used and consumed with careful moderation.
