Giveaway: illy Coffee Trivia Winner
So, what's the ideal extraction time for the perfect espresso? If you guessed 20–30 seconds, congratulations! You're probably drinking a better cup of espresso than most.
To fully explain the nuances of preparing this complex coffee drink, we turn it over to the master barista himself, Giorgio Milos.
Thanks to everyone for playing!

We have a winner! Maybe this question was too easy—almost all of our commenters had the correct answer. JoAnn Lesh was randomly selected to take home our big prize from illy. As you can see from the photo above, coffee plant flowers are white. We thought we'd direct you over to the experts for details on the answer—illy's website has great information on how coffee travels from the ground to your cup.
Thanks to everyone who participated! We'll be back with more illy coffee trivia after the 4th of July.

Thanks for playing folks! We’ve got our latest winner—congratulations to Bob Stein who correctly guessed that American-style drip coffee has the most caffeine per serving.
A regular eight-ounce cup of drip coffee contains more caffeine than a one-ounce cup of espresso. The amount of caffeine in your favorite coffee beverage is relative to the length of time the coffee grounds are in contact with water and the temperature of that water. Drip coffee averages 120mg of caffeine per cup while espresso averages only 60-80mg per cup.
We’ll be back with another illy giveaway the week of June 21.

We have another winner! Michael Nestrud correctly guessed that whole milk is best for making cappuccino. According to our expert whole milk creates a superior tasting cappuccino with creamier foam and perfect texture. Michael can look forward to a set of two cappuccino cups from illy’s Almodóvar Collection.
Thanks to everyone who played! Tune in next week for more coffee trivia from Master Barista Giorgio Milos.

Tweet Eats: Our Twitter Cook-off Winner!
The recipes have been made, the dishes have been tasted, and the results have been tabulated. We have a winner for our first ever Twitter Cook-off! Before we announce the results, we thought it would be fun to give everyone a taste (pun intended) of what went down at the Beard House on Friday afternoon.
Despite the steamy and sticky heat outside, our four Judges arrived ready to sample and score the five finalists that you picked earlier in the week. We asked them to rate each dish on a scale of 1 to 5 in two categories: first, the effective and creative use of Twitter as a medium to convey the recipe, and second, taste. The JBF office/kitchen team, tasked with translating the recipes and executing the dishes, scored each tweet on a scale of 1 to 5
