Coffee, Anyone?
| Coffee is something that we drink to enjoy the quiet moments of our day. It is also something we drink to jolt our systems when our system is falling asleep and we still need to work. These are contrasting reasons to drink this brew yet both are accurate. |

Coffee is a complex drink that is drunk at any time during the day. It is enjoyed by many millions of people yet not necessarily appreciated by these very same people. There are so many varieties and blends that it can be bewildering. In fact, as the character of Tom Hanks in “You’ve Got Mail” puts it, it can be a challenge for those who have difficulties making decisions to choose when going into a Starbucks shop because suddenly you are asked to make six, all in one go.
It is always great to learn new things and try out new tastes. It also helps if you can learn about what blends may match your taste without your having to waste money on a cup that you will find absolutely unappealing after the first sip.
Coffee is grown in many places all over the world. Each area produces coffee that is unique to the soil it grew in. Though it is acknowledged that the first coffee plants came from Ethiopia, by no means has Africa cornered the coffee market. Thanks to the varying tastes of people, many delicious blends have resulted.
Coffee is like wine. To truly appreciate it you need to use all your senses and savor not only the taste of each brew but its aroma as well. The scent alone of coffee is enough for some individuals to relax. For them, coffee reminds them of home or a place to just hang out, kick back and relax even if they are sitting in the middle of a crowded café.
Of course, some may prefer to learn how to make great coffee at home instead of always buying from the local café. Finding practical tips on how to make coffee is invaluable. Various recipes using coffee, be it brew or food flavored with this delicious ingredient are also favorites for coffee lovers. It is always nice to work with recipes that other people have already found to be successful.
There is much to experience about coffee and many people to enjoy it with. Each cup of coffee is a connection with that community. The beans and the brew spark off that common interest.
