Coffee

Coffee is a widely consumed beverage prepared from the roasted seeds—commonly called the beans—of the coffee plant. Coffee was first consumed as early as the 9th century, when it appeared in the highlands of Ethiopia.

Today, coffee is one of the most popular beverages world-wide, its volume amounting to about a third of that of tap water in North America and Europe.

Coffee contains the legal drug caffeine which is a stimulant. For this reason coffee is popular drink for waking people up in the morning as well as giving an energy boost during the day.


My Lovely Coffee

I tend to drink around one cup of coffee daily at the moment. This is dramatically less than I used to during the exam period where I would easily get through five cups each day.

My favorite coffee is the type they serve at The Black Swan Restaurant. The coffee beans used at the restaurant are ordered in from Stokes coffee shop in Lincoln and ground fresh for each individual request. The coffee is served with cream and brown sugar with a free hand-made chocolate and florentine.

At home I will occasionally make a filter coffee but most of the time will stick to the Nescafe instant.
