Of course I love coffee. I know many others who love coffee as well. For those of you on the fence, I offer this to suggest you come to the coffee side of life.
1) Coffee is good. Seems simple enough. The problem is too many people are fine with 7-11 coffee and think that is the way God intended coffee to taste. Nonsense. Coffee has no one flavor, it has many. Depending on the varietal of coffee, you can taste suggestions of chocolate, caramel, cherry, and dozens of other wonderful tastes. Put down the styrofoam cup, and find some good coffee.
2) Coffee helps you make friends. You've seen it, or been a part of it. You are in a coffeehouse, minding your own business on your computer, and soon someone sits next you and and voila - conversation. Soon you are buddies. When I was in college, I became best buds with two coffee house owners. One even taught me the finer points of Backgammon.
3) Coffee is healthy. Yeah, I know for every medical study which shows a health benefit, there is another that tells you coffee will kill you. I have been drinking coffee since I was 18. Not dead yet.
4) Coffee provides jobs. Think about it. That cup of coffee was created by a farmer in Asia, Africa or Central or South America. The coffee was transported to the U.S., roasted by someone in Seattle, Portland, or many other communities, and was sold or dispensed by someone locally. If you don't drink coffee, think of all the unemployment you will cause.
5) Coffee isn't Soda. If you have to reach for a beverage with some caffeine, coffee is so much better for you than Mountain Dew. Come on, Mountain Dew looks like radiator fluid. Do you really want that in your body?
There you have it. Some good reasons to drink coffee. Pour yourself a cup.
