Caffeine is my shepherd;
I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz...
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equalâ„¢:
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of The Starbucks:
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the House of Mochas forever.

I believe humans get a lot done,not because we're smart, but because we have thumbs so we can make coffee!

He was my cream, and I was his coffee -
And when you poured us together, it was something.

Deja Brew: The feeling that you've had this coffee before.

Be a coffee-drinking individual - espresso yourself!

I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee.
~Carly Simon

Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee.

Computer, coffee, hot. In a cup this time!
- Captain Janeway, Star Trek: Voyager

Just around the corner,
There's a rainbow in the sky.
So let's have another cup o' coffee,
And let's have another piece o' pie.
- Irving Berlin, 1932
LIFE IS THE COFFEE
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and in life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:

"If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

"What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and do not change the quality of Life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided. So, don't let the cups drive you ... enjoy the coffee instead."

Moderately drunk, coffee removes vapours from the brain,
occasioned by fumes of wine, or other strong liquors;
eases pains in the head, prevents sour belchings,
and provokes appetite.²
England's Happiness Improved (1699)

"Ah! How sweet coffee tastes! Lovlier than a thousand kisses, sweeter than muscatel wine! I must have my coffee..."

The coffee plant grows in tropical areas. It grows between 600 to 7200 feet above sea level. Fundamentally, coffee beans are of two types:

Arabica
Arabica is the earliest cultivated species of the coffee tree. It grows best in altitudes between 4000 and 6000 feet above sea level. It require special soil conditions with just the right balance of warmth and moisture. It is considered a higher quality bean and produces very flavorful and aromatic coffee. It takes six to nine months to mature.
Because Arabica trees are susceptible to disease, frost, and drought, and fall to the ground soon after they ripen. Hence they must be harvested as soon as they ripen. They require careful labor-intensive cultivation and produce only 1 to 1.5 pounds of beans per year. Hence they are more expensive. The beans are low in caffeine content and high in flavor and aroma.

Arabica beans account for about 75% of the beans that are grown around the world.

Robusta
Robusta grows best in altitudes above sea level and upto 2500 feet. It is maily cultivated in West Africa and Southeast Asia. It is less flavorful and less aromatic. It is more tolerant of the cold and moisture. Robusta beans do not fall to the ground once they ripen, hence it does not need to be harvested immediately. This species is normally purchased as a 'filler' bean for canned coffees to reduce the roasters cost. Robusta has twice the caffeine content of Arabica. In fact, Robusta takes less time to mature, typically half the time needed for Arabica beans, and tend to yield twice as many cherries. It is also low in flavor and aroma, and is less expensive. It is usually found in instant coffee.

Robusta accounts for about 25% of the coffee grown around the world. It's taste is more of an earthy quality.
