Nothing like a fresh, hot, steaming java in the morning to start the day. The smell alone can wake the senses. It's fabulous chemical composition can ignite the body and spirit. Derided and loved in equal portions, the cup of coffee is ubiquitous and omnipresent. Our post-industrial "information age" has been fueled by it for the last 10-20 years. Starbucks and Tim Hortons and their thousand brethren stores (along with their artisan independent cafes) are on every corner of every street in every place in the world. Coffee and humanity go hand-in-hand. And it certainly puts a smile on my face even on the darkest, coldest winter day.
