Coffee Wakes Up The World

Millions of people around the world drink coffee before they do anything else when they wake up every morning. Some of these people have this great beverage ready to go when they wake up because they set up a machine to make it the night before. Other people head to the nearest shop to buy a cup of this delicious beverage before they do anything else. People in New York drink coffee that has a different taste than the coffee in Arabia, and people in Japan drink this great beverage that might differ from that made in Togo. They all use the coffee to give them a jump start for the day.

Coffee naturally contains caffeine that wakes them up with the first cup that they drink. Many of these people are much more alert because they had their cup of this wonderful beverage. Some people will swear that their coffee gives them energy to fulfill their responsibilities. During the course of the day, many of these people around the world will have one or more cups of this tasty beverage to keep them going to produce great work. Some of these people believe that their coffee keeps them going throughout the day. Many of these people would be lost without their favorite drink.

Coffee Has Been Popular For Centuries

There are more shops selling coffee than ever before, but coffee has been around for many centuries. There is evidence that this popular beverage was first grown and consumed in Ethiopia. Coffee plants yield berries that contain beans that are used to make the beverage that so many people consume. Most of these people would not recognize a plant that produces their favorite drink because they do not see the ingredients in their natural state. Most of the plants that produce the necessary beans are grown far from many of the customers in Latin America and Africa.

The beans from the plants must be processed before they make up the great drink. The beans are ripened, harvested and roasted before they are ground for brewing. The process can be varied to produce different tastes. The drink served in the most modern shops might be greatly different in taste from that served by nomads far from city centers. Some people like this beverage without any additions although other people add one or more ingredients to produce their favorite drink. Some people add milk, whipped cream and sugar. Others add special flavorings such as hazelnut to make a special kind of drink.
