I had read in some magazine that ‘a morning without coffee is like sleep’. I am South Indian (a proud one) and I love my filter coffee beyond anything else. Coffee is the most consumed beverage across the world. My guess is that people like the high that caffeine provides. The high notwithstanding, I can’t remember a seed that sold for $600 a pound. Yes, you heard me right. The world’s most expensive coffee bean is worth that much. And believe it or not, it is sh**! Literally. These coffee beans are derived for the droppings of an animal called the luwak (civet). I am not making this sh** up (pun intended). I applaud the man who had the brainwave to look through an animal's dung. I wonder if he was looking for gold.
But in all seriousness coffee has surpassed alcohol as the world's best conversation starter. The explosion of cafĂ© outlets across the globe is unquestionable. These coffee chains have millions of people coming in and going out every single day. I am undoubtedly part of this ‘chain gang’. And I am sure you are too. If you aren’t I urge you, be a coffee drinking individual- Espresso yourself!
