how to make the perfect cup of healthier coffee...

Making a perfect cup of GanoCafe Classic (Black) coffee is EASY!

With this simple procedure, you will never serve a bad tasting cup of coffee again and will always get it right when you have guests over.

1. Fill up your 10-12 cup coffee maker with water.

2. Remove the filter as you don't need it with our pre-brewed technology!

3. Empty 4 packets of GanoCafe Classic DIRECTLY in the bottom of your carafe or coffee pot

4. Turn on your coffee machine and allow it to heat the water.

5. Stir, pour and serve. Add cream and sugar to taste. Everyone will rave about its smooth flavor!

Don't have a coffee maker?

Empty two packets of GanoCafe Classic DIRECTLY into a one litre (34 fl.oz.) thermal carafe. Fill with boiling water.

You can also mix a half a packet of the black coffee per 6-12 oz cup based on taste.


How about the other products?

It's easy! The Gano Schokolade (Hot Chocolate), 3-in-1 (Cream and Sugar), and Mocha should be mixed in a LARGE 12-16 oz cup per packet.

Adjust to taste.

And don't forget, the Gano SOD Red Tea will make a full 30-36 ounce pot per tea bag, or an individual cup.

Enjoy the world's first great tasting Healthier Coffee, Tea, etc!

Real Dirt on Get Clean

You know that good, healthy feeling you get when you've just cleaned house? Sorry to spoil it, but you may have just made your home dirtier.

Think of it this way. You wouldn't let your kids play with toxic chemicals, so why would you let the baby crawl over a floor that's just been wiped with them? That's much more dangerous than the orange juice that was just there.

How dangerous? Just take a look at these statistics.

•Over 90% of poison exposures happen at home.

•Common bleach is the #1 household chemical involved in poisoning.

•Organic pollutants, found in many common cleaners and even air fresheners, are 2 to 5 times higher inside your home than out.

•A person who spends 15 minutes cleaning scale off shower walls could inhale three times the "acute one-hour exposure limit" for glycol ether-containing products set by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.

•Common cleaners give off fumes that have been linked to increasing the risk of your kids developing asthma, the most common serious chronic childhood disease.

•1 in 13 school-aged children has asthma. Rates in children under five have increased more than 160% from 1980 – 1994.

•Children are highly vulnerable to chemical toxicants. Pound for pound of body weight, children drink more water, eat more food and breathe more air than adults. The implication of this is that children will have substantially heavier exposures than adults to any toxicants that are present in water, food or air.

•If your home is anything like the average U.S. home, you generate more than 20 pounds of household hazardous waste each year (the EPA designates toilet cleaners, tub and tile cleaners, oven cleaners, and bleach as hazardous waste).


Take a look at these videos on this link and you may change your mind on what lurks under your kitchen sink:
