An essay about Coffee

But I’m warning you, I can talk about it during several times! I am going to try to be concise.

As for me, coffee is a very interesting drink. It represents a good way to easily discover many different countries in the world within a reasonable budget.

First of all, coffee is a historic drink: born in Africa in the middle of the fifteenth century, it was introduced in Europe later, in the sixteenth century. It’s interesting to see that this drink has followed the development of our modern society. In fact, It has replaced the beer, as the main drink, and contributes to reducing the alcoholism.

Secondly, coffee is an international product which concerns people all around the world: it’s a global product (repetitive). But unfortunately, we can see that the producers are in the south and the drinkers are in the North. Aware of that, I try to privilege (to use? What do you mean by privilege?) the ethical coffee. The ethical coffee is a coffee which reaches a better redistribution of the selling price. The goal is to offer better living conditions to the farmer. Of course, It is more expensive than the coffee without a label but the consequences are very important for many people. It’s a serious concern for me when I drink a coffee.

Moreover, drinking a coffee is a very pleasant experience for me: it’s like when an old man smokes a cigar or when you drink a famous glass of wine: it’s taste test time : I smell the coffee and try to understand their aromatic structures. I’m very stunned by the number of flavours (<-this is the UK spelling) offered by this product. Do you know that coffee has more flavours than the wine? All that for a very reasonable price!

After this pleasurable time, often shared with my wife during the breakfast, I feel good, very concerned. The day can start!
