VIENNA COFFEE
A Cup of Coffee topped with whipped cream.
ICE COFFEE
Strong, black, cold coffee poured over Vanila ice cream and topped with whipped cream.Ice coffee is served in a tall glass.
ESPRESSO
Is a coffee Italian origin and is produced by an " Espresso Mahine "
( " Espresso " is an Italian word meaning "quick,fast" ).steam pressure forces hot water through the coffee grains.The coffee beans for espresso machines are ground more finely than for filter coffee,are of different roast and cannot be used in brewing machine.Espresso can be served as "short black" ( in a demitasse sized espresso cup )or as " long black " ( double the amount of coffee,served in a double espresso cup-the size of a tea cup ).An espresso machine produces also hot water for tea and hot steam for the heating and frothing of milk.
CAPPUCCINO
A very popular variation of espresso.A short black is mixed with an equal amount of hot milk, topped with milk froth and cocoa powder and served in a double espresso cup or tea cup.
TURKISH COFFEE
Is prepared in a small copper pot called Ibrik.pulverised coffee coffee is mixed with sugar and cold water and heated till the froth which develops during the heating rises to the top.the pot is then removed from the flame and the froth is allowed to settle.
this is repeated twice so that the froth rises and settles three times in total.
After the third time, the pot is left standing for 15-20 seconds to allow the coffee grains to settle to the bottom and the coffee is then slowly and carefully,poured into demitasse cup and served without spoon.
INSTANT COFFEE
Normally,of lower quality than coffee made beans.
LIQUOR COFFEE
Liquor coffees are very poular and most restaurants,Lounge,and Bar have one or more onthe menu.Irish Coffee is the most common.
NO BEVERAGE ON EARTH IS CONSUMED IN SUCH QUANTITIES AS TEA
No Beverage on earth is consumed in such quantities as tea. It's made from tea leaves of the tea tree which grows in damp tropical or subtropical regions and woul reach a height of 10m if it were not pruned to bush size.
Tea growing is said to have originated in pre historic China,where farmers used to perfume he water, which had to be boiled before drinking with the dried leaves of the tea tree.
Depending on the treatment of the leaves,tea belongs to one of three groups:
1. Green Tea
2. Black Tea
3. Oolong Tea
GREEN TEA
After plucking, the leaves are fired in chambers. This means that they are dried by passing hot air oven them for certain period time.
BLACK TEA
After plucked, the leaves are spread on racks where they dry, losing 50% of their moisture content.
The leaves are then rolled by machine to break up the cellular structure,which allows the subsequent fermentation to take place at an increased speed. The fermentation, which takes place at around 27 degree celcius,is stopped by firing when the leaves have assumed the desired qualities.
In sifting machines, the leaves are sorted into the two main grades " Leaf Teas " and " Broken Teas ". Leaf teas are said to be more delicate, where as broken teas are stronger and darker in colour. Fannings and dust are used for teabags.
in general,Teabags produce tea of lesser quality,but for obvious reasons,are very popular.
OOLONG TEA
Oolng tea is semi-fermented and combines the green Tea's delicacy with the Black Tea's strengt.

DEBU
Sungguh ku tak peduli
Apa kata mereka
Aku tahu
Mereka jijik akan adaku
Tapi maaf
Aku sama sekali tak peduli
Tuduhan apalagi
Yang ingin mereka hinakan untukku?
Anjing-kah?
Iblis-kah?
Virus-kah?
Orang Edan?
Sakit?
Ha ha , terserah
Persetan!!??!!
Satu ahl yang aku tahu
AKU BAGIAN DARI MEREKA
Dan setahuku
Aku bukan sampah atau bakteri
Aku hanya ingin
Berpijak di atas jalan
Yang telah ku buat dan ku pilih sendiri
Kemudian ku ikuti arahhnya
Tanpa merugukan yang lain
Karena aku,
ADALAH AKU
Kotor,
Najis,
Nista
Yang kemudian lesat
Menembus batas ketiadaan
Hingga tak perlu lagi
Risaukan
Akanku

LEBUR
( By Martha )
Sampai kini
Hati ini masih tak mampu pahami
Mengapa ku mencintaimu
Maka....
Leburlah bersamaku
Dalam pengembaraan terasingku
Agar terciptalah sebuah maha karya
Sebuah orkestra maha agung
Yang simponinya merdu mendayu
Penuhi setiap inci atmosfir dalam duniaku....
WAKTU
( by Martha )
Apabila mungkin
Inginku menghentikan jarum
Yang setiap detiknya terus berputar
Atau memutar mundur
Untuk waktu yang terlah terlewati
Aku tak meminta lebih
Aku hanya ingin
Terus bersamamu
Lebih lama lagi
Dalam waktu yang sangat lama
Selamanya....
Aku hanya tak ingin kehilanganmu
ILUSI
( By Martha )
Kau tak terlihat
Tapi dapat ku rasakan
Hadirmu
Sejuk...
Menampar jiwaku yang kerontang
Seperti bintang,
Jauh...
Tak tersentuh
Tapi ku menikmati keberadaanmu
Ku bertahan dengan rasa ini
Ku menangis mengeja namamu
Aku tersesat dalam belenggu ini
Menggilai dan merindukan
Ada mu yang tak lagi terlihat
Dan tersentuh olehku
Hingga ku hanya bisa mengecup bayangmu
Dan pikiranku tak bisa berhenti
Bermasturbasi dengan sosokmu
Yang tak lagi ada
Aku merindukanmu
TARIAN EROTIS
KAU ( ********* ) KU
Wahai makhluk indahku
Alunanmu melebihi indahnya Tchaikovsky
Menghidupkan jiwa kosong
Pada mata sunyiku yang telah lama mati
Melodimu lebur..
Menjelma kata agung bernama kasih
Dalam senandung hidupku,
Langit hatiku
Dan ketika kita telah bersatu
Terciptalah tarian erotis
Yang menggetarkan jiwaku
Oh,,,, aku hanyut
Oleh tinggi rendah iramamu
Begitu indahnya musik yang tercipta
Oleh mu, oleh ku....
.......Hingga.....
Denting-denting Mozart pun
Tak lagi terdengar olehku

ABOUT TEQUILA
ABOUT BEER
Beer and wines are FERMENTED beverages. All alcoholic beverages begin with liquid food product containing SUGAR. Fermentation is the process wherby the sugar in a liquid food product is broken down into two subtances :
1. Carbon Dioxide
2. Alcohol
When this process takes place, alcohol remain behind in liquid form and the cabon dioxide, which is a gas, is release into the air. the remaining alcohol is called a FERMENTED beverage.
YEAST is the catalyst that begins to transform a liquid food product into a fermented beverage. any liquid containing sugar can be fermented, if yeast is available to begin the process. historians tell us that ancient man may have made grain into beer long before he learned to bake grain into bread. For century both beer and bread were staples in the diet of the common man.
Beer is made from fermented grains while wines are made of fermented grapes n other fruits. Depending upon the sugar content in the base grain or fruit, this sugar is converted into alcohol content ranging from 4 to 14%. as a general rule of thumb, beers and ales contain 2 1/2 to 8% alcohol by weight, table wines contain 7 to 14% and aperitif and dessert wines contain 14 to 24%.
Water is the most important ingredients affecting the specific flavor and taste of individual beers. comprising 9/10 of the beverage.Other than water, there are four additional ingredients that greatly affect the finished product. These are malt, hops, Yeast and adjuncts.
MALT
Is " sprouted grain " Barley malt, which has been dried or roasted, provides the sugar necessary for the process of fermentation.
HOPS
Hops are the " Blossoms of the female hop vine ".hops provide the bitter flavor unique to all beers.
YEAST
Yeast is the catalyst or agent that begins the process fermentation by breaking down the sugar in the malt into alcohol.
ADJUNCTS
Adjuncts are primarily added only in the United States to give beer lighter color and a milder flavor. Corn, rice, soybeans, and potato starch are some of the adjuncts used in American Breweries. in general, the less adjuncts added, the more flavor and body a beer has.
SHARED ABOUT COFFEE
WHAT IS COFFEE ?
A Coffee " Bean " is the sheed ( biji ) or pit ( buah ) of the coffee cherry, which grows on an evergreen tree or shurb. each cherry normally countains two beans,which face each other. after processing and roasting, the sheed will become the " coffee " we are all familiar with. coffee was first discovered under the Ethiopian rain forest. Canopy, high on the montainside. the evergreen leaves like the seeds are laced with caffeine.
TALK ABOUT COFFEE
Decaf Coffee / Decafeinated coffee
Decafeinated Coffee or " Decaf " is coffee that has most of the caffeine remove.
by weight, the amount of caffeine ound naturally in coffee is only 1% for the Arabica and 2% for Robusta beans.
When tou read " 97% Caffeine free ", 97% of that 1% or 2% has been removed.
In the case of coffee, various methods can be used.
the process is usually performed on unroasted ( green ) beans and start with Steaming of the beans.
There are currently two methods used commercially that removed caffeine from coffee:
EUROPEAN PROCESS / DIRECT CONTACT
* Use Methylene Chloride and water.
This method is 100% safe and is the best decaffeination mehods that will retain much of the flavor of coffee.
SWISS WATER PROCESS
This process uses no chemicals, but rather hot water and steam to removed caffeine from the coffee. The disadvantage is that the water processing removes more than just ceffeine. some of the oils from coffee bean are removed as well, making it less flvorfull.
FRESHNESS AND STORAGE:
To ensure rich, fresh tasting coffee, buy whole beans frequently. Air light, heat and moiture are coffee's adversaries. store coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to protect and aroma.
