A cup of aromatic, rich coffee is not only an amazing taste delight, but also a great way to invigorate and relieve drowsiness. Coffee tones up, improves attention, activates thought processes and stimulates metabolism. It's no surprise that this drink is so popular!
The most popular in the world?
In reality, coffee is not the most popular beverage in the world. In the first place, according to statistical studies, is ordinary water. This is natural, since only water allows you to satisfy your thirst, and the human body consists of more than half of water.
Tea took the second place in the ratings. In the world, about 2 billion cups of tea are drunk every day (according to other research results, about 3 billion), and the same amount - coffee. But tea mugs are usually larger than coffee mugs, so we can say that more tea is drunk. Nevertheless, coffee is also in surprisingly high demand.
Coffee is creativity and improvisation
Every coffee lover will agree that it is a stretch to call it a drink. Yes, coffee is liquid, but it does not quench thirst, but on the contrary, causes it. And the thick espresso, which has a strong and bright taste, is so concentrated that a glass of water is always served with it. Almost all other types of coffee are made with espresso.
The homeland of espresso is sunny Italy - no one can argue that the most delicious coffee in the world is still prepared in this country. Despite the fact that coffee is grown on all continents, with the possible exception of Antarctica, getting the beans themselves is the easiest part of the task. Then they need to be fried correctly, maintaining the correct degree of strength, but this is not enough. Packaging and storing coffee is no less difficult process, because it is not enough to get good beans, it is necessary that they also reach the consumer.
After the package of high-quality coffee gets to the person, the most creative stage of the process begins - the preparation of a cup of coffee itself. You can cook it in different ways. There are several ways to prepare coffee, but each lover has his own secrets. Some people are sure that delicious coffee can only be obtained in a perfectly tuned coffee machine, while others refute this with their ability to brew incredibly aromatic and thick coffee in a Turk.
One thing is indisputable - coffee awakens its best qualities in a person. And this happens not only because coffee generally wakes up a person, energizing him for the whole day. Creativity and improvisation, the ability to feel the subtleties and nuances - all this is inextricably linked with the preparation and enjoyment of the taste of this wonderful drink. The deep sense of joy and satisfaction that coffee connoisseurs feel when enjoying a truly high-quality cup cannot be compared to anything else. It is not for nothing that in Eastern countries coffee is sometimes called "Arabian wine".
In Japan, they even came up with the idea of celebrating Coffee Day, which falls on October 1. So far, this holiday has not received widespread support, because almost no one outside the Land of the Rising Sun knows about it. But no doubt, it's just a matter of time!
