Coffee

Almost everyone I know has tried coffee at least once, and a handful of people have it every day. Coffee is a necessary part of breakfast for some people as coffee contains caffeine. While some people may avoid coffee, they may get their daily caffeine fix in other ways.

Coffee was first harvested in Arabia, and was always one of the largest exported crop. Today the three largest coffee producers are Brazil, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Most countries have their own type of coffee, and special methods of preparation. It is very interesting seeing such differences in coffee throug
hout the world. Even in the United States, there are a lot of ways to consume coffee. Some drink their coffee black, while others prefer some milk or cream, and sugar.

There are different methods to produce coffee too. You can buy and grind your own beans, buy beans already ground, or buy instant mix. There is always the alternative to going to a Starbucks or different coffee shop to get a cup of coffee as well. A fact I found interesting is there are two main types of coffee plants, arabica and robusta, but 3/4 of the coffee harvested is arabica, due to robusta's more bitter taste.
