Coffee: Freedom in a Cup

The whole coffee phenomena in our culture is a self-sustaining cycle. Even for those who do not drink coffee, we probably are still apart of the coffee culture in some way. We are always surrounded by someone who is indeed a coffee drinker.

The coffee drinker will go out at various hours of the work day and offer to bring you something back. And of course the favor is returned- next time it'll be your turn to offer to bring them something back (most likely it will be coffee). This is kind of like an unspoken rule in our society that allows this cycle to continue on forever and ever and ever.

Thank goodness for the coffee break right, otherwise we'd be left with only our lunch ours to have some time to ourselves. Lunch hours usually last for 30 minutes to an hour and that's when the street are filled to the brim with bustling people and noisy cars that it isn't possible to catch a breath and relax for a bit.

Naturally, people will experience crimps in their necks during the day and want to walk around and stretch about or simply see the sights outside the building. If you think about it, it's really coffee that gives us all this sense of freedom (even if it's brief stolen moments out of the day).

Coffee Connoisseur 101

Like most things in life, if you'd just delve into a particular topic, you'd be amazed at the rich tapestry of culture and stories involved with it. A great example is that of coffee. Now to the average consumer, they may not think too much of it. They know that it's widely accessible, and that it tastes good. And if you want to make some at home you'd just buy a coffee maker and some beans.

Well that is a great outline for the coffee culture, but you can literally expand on each specific element of coffee ranging from it's history, to how it's purchased, how to properly taste test coffee, roasting strategies, grinding techniques, brewing tips, serving styles, and how to grow coffee itself.

If you are remotely interested in coffee, then you owe it to yourself to get some books on this massively interesting topic. There are even entire careers beyond being a server within the coffee industry from the science of coffee, to business, and logistics. It's much more than meets the eye and yet it's something we take for granted on a daily basis.

I am sure that once you've learned more about the nuances and intricacies of coffee, your coffee days will never be the same. You will know that being a connoisseur is not just about being a pretentious know-it-all who makes others feel dumb, but someone who truly knows how to enjoy real coffee.
