I just added a new set of pages to my site, including a form where you can add your own coffee drink recipes. If you have some favorites, feel free to contribute! http://www.coffeedetective.com/coffee-drinks.html Best wishes, Nick

I don't sell product, but am an affiliate partner with a number of merchants. I'm seeing activity that is really sporadic compared to last year and the year before. Many sales one day and only a small number the next. I am seeing a definite shift in how much people are spending. I see people...

Ed, hi Yes, that's a little easier on my old eyes! : ) Nick

If you are a grower or roaster and would like to see your coffee reviewed on my Coffee Detective reviews page, my brewer is ready and waiting. Here's the page where you'll find a list of the reviews I have written so far. http://www.coffeedetective.com/coffee-reviews.html OK...now for the...

There is plenty of recent scientific data to suggest that coffee actually prevents heart disease. I have referenced a couple of those studies here: http://www.coffeedetective.com/heart-disease.html Nick

Ed, hi The one comment I would make, and it concerns more than just this page, is that the small font size, combined with the italics, combined with it being reversed out...makes it quite hard to read. I would nix the italics, except for where you want a few words emphasized, and increase the...

Me too. I have two coffee makers and an espresso machine in the basement, and my Aeropress in the kitchen. Not only do I think it makes better coffee and espresso shots than my more expensive machines, but I also get a perverse pleasure from making such great coffee with something that looks...

French press coffee is great, but I like my Aeropress coffee even more. If you don't know what the Aeropress is, it's like a big fat syringe with a paper filter at the pointy end (except there is no pointy end, it's like that end of the syringe were cut off). Why compare the Aeropress to a...

No, you never need to resubmit to Google. As for traffic, there are two fundamental ways to increase it: 1. Create more content pages. 2. Get more quality and relevant inbound links. n

I would remove even that one hidden link. Use of hidden links is like standing in front of a cop with a gun in your hand. Just asing for trouble. nick

You definitely don't want to add any text to your site that is not visible. That's the fastest way to get you site de-listed by Google. Nick

Just a little fun...with a nugget of serious thought in there somewhere. Anyway, if you have time on your hands...build a One Dollar Coffee Maker and take a photo... Here's mine: http://www.coffeedetective.com/one-doll ... maker.html And now I feel nervous about adding a URL. I'm not trying...

Sure you can - and tell the story about "sophistication". People usually "grab" a coffee...but it can also be the centerpiece for a more formal moment.

BTW - I just uploaded a photo of my one dollar coffee maker. http://www.coffeedetective.com/one-doll ... maker.html Maybe I should post it in the hardware thread. : ) Nick

You saw the updated note? So it was you who submitted the espresso machine photo? : ) Nick
