National Coffee Day: Buzzin' for beans

National Coffee Day is a day to give appreciation to the drink that helps us wake up in the morning and keeps us up at night. In honor of this beloved coffee-infused drink, we have some history, fun facts and expert advice to get your java-iolt appreciation day off to a good start.
15 things you may not know about coffee from your local coffee officades
1. "Chai tea was invented by the British. Because people from India were all drinking coffee at the time, they added a lot of spices and sugar to make it more appealing to coffee drinkers." — Louis Wigen-Toccalino, owner of Decade
some of the caffeine." — Noah Compo, senior from Prairie Village, Kan., and barista at Henry's Coffee Shop
2. "The most popular student drink is a Rock Chalk latte." — Carlie Hall, junior from Kansas City, Kan., barista at the Union Roasterie Coffeehouse
5. "Coffee is good for you, but it is not necessarily the caffeine that's good for you
3. " The trends change every year. Past trends include capuccinios and cold press. The trend right now is cold press or slow-brew coffee that is being put in kegs with nitric oxide and being served like a beer." — Derek Hogan, owner of Java Break
4. "When you roast a bean in a dark roast, it heats out
— it's the coffee bean itself. It can have carcinogens in it from being roasted. It is not necessarily made up to hurt you, but the caffeine that is in decaf is enough to stimulate your brain. So you do not need a fully caffeinated coffee." — Nathaniel Dobies, barista at Starbucks on Massachusetts Street

round in decaf as well. Decaf coffee tends to be a lot better for you than regular caffeinated coffee. But also, decaf coffee can be decaf chemicals [instead of being naturally extracted from coffee beans]. So that also cannot be good for you. So it is kind of a hit or miss with both" — Nathaniel Dobies, barista at Starbucks on Massachusetts Street
6. Wigen-Toccalino said the Swiss way of making decaffeinated coffee starts with making a coffee-tea by putting green coffee in water. "They filter that to remove the caffeine. Then they take that decaf brew and they put fresh green beans in it. Now all that is lacking is coffee. So the only thing it pulls out of the beans at that point is the caffeine. This process leaves coffee 95 percent decaffeinated." Wigen-Toccalino said.
7. "Cold press has more caffeine than espresso shots. The longer the coffee beans have contact with water, the more caffeine it extracts." — Kyra Roesle, junior from Shawnee and barista and cook at Aimee's Cafe and Coffeehouse
Grab a cup of coffee today to celebrate National Coffee Day. Stop by one of Lawrence's local coffee shops to add some buzz to your day.
9. "Ethiopia is the only coffee-growing country that consumes more than it exports. It is where coffee was discovered. Ethiopians have a coffee ceremony, coffee tradition." — Louis Wigen-Toccalino, owner of Decade
8. "The benefits of coffee are
10. "Serving super-hot coffee is not good because you burn it or mask the flavor." Ryan Pope, owner of Bourgeois Pig
11. "You burn more calories if you exercise with caffeine than without." - Louis Wigen-Tocalino, owner of Decade
12. The most expensive coffee in the world costing $300 per ounce is called kopi luwak from Sumatra, Indonesia, said Tom MacEwan, one of three Brewhaus owners. It was discovered by workers on the coffee plantation who were not allowed to take the beans home. To collect the coffee, they fed it to a cat-like animal called civet, which is indigenous to Sumatra.
MacEwan said the workers extracted the coffee from the civet's excrement. It is the smoothest coffee anywhere you can find.
13. "People cannot taste over 165 degrees." — Addy Benson, La Prima Tazza barista
14. "Oakland port is where 80 percent of green coffee comes into the country."
— Louis Wigen-Toccalino, owner of Decade 15. A slow-drip coffee tower is a current trend in making iced coffee and is performed at the Alchemy Coffee, The
iced coffee is put through a 12-hour slow drip extraction process that starts with ice water traveling through valves at around one drop per second. The water travels through ground coffee and gets extracted. The concentrated coffee goes through a few different filtering process, coming out clean and smooth, said Daniel Murdock, senior from Kansas City, Kan., and barista at Alchemy Coffee.

Student rises to success in bodybuilding

"It was definitely one of those moments where I remember specifically just going 'Oh my god.' Those lights flashing; they're calling out your numbers. You're walking out there, and they're calling out the poses, and you see the line of judges right in front of you. Then you see the darkness in the auditorium. I remember it's almost like a little mini blackout."
Brian Baroud, a senior from Northbrook, Ill., does pull ups while training at the Ambler Student Fitness Recreation Center.
Brian Baroud, a senior from Northbrook, Ill., was a freshman when he took the stage and competed in his first bodybuilding show, Muscle Mayhem, in Kansas City. Mo. He took home second place in his teen division and a taste for the fitness industry.
Baroud said he was always an athletic child and when the transition from high school to college came, he decided
against playing a college sport. Instead, he got involved with the mixed martial arts club at KU. It was there that friends

suggested bodybuilding. "I was approached by a couple of the older guys, and it was basically just one of those
things like, you could really succeed with this," Baroud said.
2014 alumnus Zach Kuipers from Wichita was one of the friends Baroud met through his involvement with fitness. Kuipers also competes as a bodybuilder and powerlifter and said it is all about having goals.
After Baroud experienced bodybuilding, he moved on to powerlifting in April of his sophomore year. In powerlifting meets, the competitors do three lifts: bench press, squat and deadlift; they have three attempts. The goal is to compile the highest totals possible.
Although the United States Powerlifting Association Prairie Open in Bloomington, Ill., was brand new to Baroud, it was not his biggest obstacle. Four days before the meet Baroud got the stomach flu.
At that point it could
have been so easy to say I'm just going to not go and stick around and focus on my grades or just hang out on campus," Baroud said. "But really where the self-evaluation, reflection comes in is you have to remember what you're doing it for."
Baroud took home second place for the second time in his 198-pound weight division. He also made a decision to compete in Muscle Mayhem again, but not as a bodybuilder.
This time around, he chose to compete in men's physique. Unlike bodybuilders, men's physique competitors wear board shorts versus show trunks. The judges look for a thin waistline and muscle symmetry, not necessarily how big competitors are.

QUICK QUESTION WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE KU FOOTBALL MEMORY?
"Definitely tearing down the goalposts against West Virginia last year."
JOE UMSCHEID
This Saturday at the football game against Texas, The Kansan caught up with Jake and Joe Umscheid, two brothers from Wichita who were watching the game together.
"My freshman year against Northern Iowa, it came down to the very last seconds and they had to get a touchdown to win it. They ended up getting it and it was the best experience ever, first KU game I ever went to."
