A good multifaceted perspective on coffee! I'm not sure when coffee became vital in my life but everyone who knows me is fully aware of it. I consider coffee to be almost a "right of passage ".
This is a very meta read for me as I sip my 3rd cup of coffee this morning!
"An estimated 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed every single day."
I am responsible for a relatively high percentage of that.
Also interestingly (you touched on this), I think coffee ultimately led to UK supremacy. As you mentioned, it was a rare group of sober folks gathering to brainstorm. Adam Smith and other revolutionary thinkers were certainly beneficiaries of this environment.

Coffee is definitely a right of passage especially in American culture. Thank you!

Love that origin story! Thank you for your service, Kaldi 😆
Great article to read with my morning coffee 👌
I am definitely responsible for a good portion of that 2.25 billion cups as well!
Thank you! I have always loved origin stories whether they are embellished or not. I am glad you enjoyed this one, it was fun to write.
