Use Santi Coffee Covers and Keep your Brew Away From Infection

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

Do you start your day with a hot cup of coffee? Read on to know about some alarming facts and also an accurate solution to it…

Alka Khungar, the Chief Marketing Officer for Santi Coffee Cup Covers said that basically everybody loves to enjoy their brew at any time of the day from their drink holder. People also know that there are millions of germs thriving around us. But how many have actually given it a serious thought that germs could be spreading through direct hand to hand contact?

They perceived that there was an urgent need for “something” between the server’s hand, customer’s hand and the coffee lid so that infection doesn’t spread. A kind of barrier was needed and Santi Coffee Covers are just that, said Horace Cunningham, the president and founder of Santi.

Billed as a ten cent solution to a billion dollar problem, the covers can be placed over the lid of a cup, to avoid infectivity from the server’s hands. “You simply pick it up; it takes all of two seconds. It goes right on to the cup. You never touched the lid, then into your coffee cup holder,” said Cunningham.

But, do Santi Coffee Covers destroy the germs as well? No, but they are certainly a powerful barrier that prevents germs and viruses from being passed on via direct contact with the contaminated surface.
The covers aren’t in mass production yet, but Cunningham hopes companies like Starbucks and McDonalds will sign up, once they see the value of his product, like some similar wheelchair accessories already being employed by the two companies. Cunningham says they are a quick, easy, frontline defense against germs and microbes, not to mention, they’re waterproof. “So should you be traveling, put

it in your car, and if it spills out, it will not spill onto you,” said Cunningham.

Khunger said that in majority of the establishments Sanitation Rules are followed. “Employees should wash their hands at certain time periods. We obviously don’t expect them realistically to wash their hands every three minutes. It’s a cost to the business,” she said.

Most of all, Santi Coffee Covers are completely eco-friendly, a true “Green Product” giving you peace of mind. However, health experts still say the most outstanding preventative measure is for employees to wash their hands.

Types Of Coffee Machines To Consider

And lastly for today, another trendy coffee related article:

Those who are preparing to buy coffee machines know that there is a great deal to consider before purchasing the ideal maker to take to their home or office. Among the many important factors are price, function, and additional features (which is also a thought process of our cup holder consumers). These drip coffee makers have become very popular, but there are numerous other options that may work better for your needs.

The ordinary drip coffee machines are among the most popular available, and are also usually the most economically conscious. While numerous machines may be similar to each other, they are usually equipped with varying features, such as the auto power switch, the brewing strength, and temperature meters. The pots may also vary in their sizes and makes, with sizes ranging from four to twelve cup capacity and with materials ranging from glass to carafe. An example of one of these from a well known company is the Melitta coffee maker.

Coffee peculators may also be an attractive option available when choosing your coffee machine. This styling was popular during the seventies, and is being restored now in modern coffee makers. Though the brewing functions are considerably more limited, the resulting coffee itself is often described to be fuller and richer. The same is true of a stove top espresso maker which uses the same mechanism to brew coffee.

Another variety of coffee machines was recently made, and has grown quite popular over the years. Pod coffee machines are specially designed to serve single cups of coffee, with a process that involves a “pod” of coffee being set into the chamber. The size of the coffee cup is selected on the machine, making it a great addition to offices or other public places to often plan on brewing a great deal of coffee. Some of these machines will only work with specially designed pods made by the same manufacturers of the machine themselves, so that is worth taking into consideration when choosing your pod coffee maker. It’s important to buy one that is readily available in your area, so that the pods can be purchased locally and relatively quickly.

Another attractive type of coffee maker is known as the French press – one of the oldest designed coffee makers available for purchase. The maker is specially designed to brew the coffee by pressing the grounds through the boiling water, providing for the consumer a darker and richer cup. Most of these are prepared on stove tops, and may not be the best maker for those in a hurry, as supervision is usually needed to make certain that the coffee is prepared correctly.

Each of these coffee machines is crafted to brew coffee differently. Purchasing the right one will usually depend on your preferred method of brewing as much as it will on the environment and your budget, but every sip should taste great coming from the mug in your coffee drink holder.
