Coffee Mornings

Coffee is consumed in such great quantities, it is the world's 2nd largest traded commodity, surpassed only by crude oil. It is our most beloved beverage after water. It's worth well over $100 billion worldwide. Coffee beans are only called 'beans' because of the resemblance - they’re actually berries. It is believed that the coffee was discovered by a goat herder who noticed that goats became extremely energetic after eating certain berries. The majority of coffee is produced in Brazil. It produces 40% of the world's coffee. There's two main categories of coffee: Robusta and Arabica. Robusta coffee has a more acidic and harsh flavor with a higher level of caffeine. Arabica is known for its delicate flavor and lower acidity. Globally people consume about 2.25 billion cups of coffee every day. Decaf coffee is not completely caffeine-free. The decaffeination process usually removes 94-98 percent of caffeine. Studies have shown that while the average 16-ounce caffeinated coffee has 188 ml of caffeine, the average 16-ounce decaf has 9.4ml. Just the smell of coffee can help you wake you up in the morning.
