What is a better feeling than sipping a cup of coffee first thing in the morning? Coffee is simply the best discovery of mankind. From a humble bean of coffee, humans created countless ways to prepare and drink coffee. I love to go to cafes when i was in college, because aside from the free wifi, i can focus in studying with a cup of coffee beside me. When travelling outside Zamboanga, one of my to-do's are visiting coffee shops specially Starbucks! I'm not really a coffee nerd, im already satisfied with 3-in-1 coffees. I don't know the different kinds of coffee aside from Espresso and my favorites Cappucino and Caramel Macchiato. Coffee is cup of heaven and it gives me the regeneration that I need to boost my day. It simply gives me happiness like how chocolate makes kids happy. Anyways, here are some interesting facts about coffee that I found around the internet:
