Why Do We Coffee has so many properties that make it an outstanding beverage. Many people drink coffee for the caffeine and while it’s great for a morning pick-me-up, coffee is so much more than just a shot of energy. Of course, I love coffee, but the few people I know that aren’t a fan of the flavor still love the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The smell of coffee is just undeniably good. It awakens your senses and makes your mouth water in an instant. You cannot deny the aroma builds anticipation as you wait on that first cup. One of the most remarkable things about coffee is its taste. The taste of coffee is distinct. As you take that first sip, you should close your eyes so you can pick up on the subtle undertones of flavor. Earthy, chocolate, and caramel are just a few that come to mind. You can even add other ingredients to get your preferred taste, such as cream, sugar, honey, or even fun flavors like pumpkin. I have my favorites as I’m sure you do as well. With coffee, enough is surely never an answer. 30
