World of Warcraft (WoW) players now have the honor of consuming more coffee per hour of video game play than any other gaming group.

A recent study by a Bonn, Germany team has found that World of Warcraft players take in nearly 1 ounce of coffee per hour of WoW game play. This far exceeded the second place Age of Empires PC gamers who came in at a little over one half ounce per hour. In 2009 World of Warcraft was the largest massive multiplayer online role-playing game with over 11 million monthly subscriptions.

The study also broke down coffee consumption by video game console. PlayStation 3 players came in first in putting down the largest amount of coffee per hour. Xbox 360 players were a close second with the Wii console a far distant 3rd place.

On another German note the market research company Media Control GfK recently reported that Germany has overtaken the U.K. as the largest market for video games in Europe. The report cites strong sales in Germany during the first half of 2009 versus a 20 percent drop in U.K. game sales last year. The Wii Fit, which has dominated the German sales charts since the beginning of the year, is credited for Germany’s overtaking the UK.

The Cuisinart DCC-1200 has the style, use, and design of this coffee maker I love. However, I am not a fan of the taste! I have tried adding more grounds, less grounds, with the metal basket, without, you get the idea, and the coffee either tastes weak and a bit metallic, or funky strange with the bit metallic. Like it is being brewed with spring water that has had minerals added which is good for drinking by itself, but I prefer my tap water for coffee. I drink my coffee black, so I taste the brew, not creamer, sugar, milk, sweetener.

I would give the Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Brew Central Coffee Maker 3 out of 5 stars.

This coffee book is a rather crazy, but interesting, travelogue that loosely related to the spread of coffee from Africa to the rest of the world. It will keep you entertained and is well worth reading. Even though it is a true history on coffee origins the book leans more toward his fun times Allen had on his journey.

I would give it 4 out of 5 stars since I liked the adventures as much as the coffee facts.

Why you should never take a coffee pot into the bathroom.
