COFFEE HERE AND COFFEE THERE

A. Few people begin the day without a hot drink. Chocolate and tea are popular morning

jump-starters. But coffee dominates the morning hour in every time zone. While the plant

that produces the beans is native to Africa, two main species of coffee are now grown in

nearly every tropical region. The consumption of this beverage is increasing throughout

the world, and though coffee is far from being the world’s largest crop, it is now the

second most needed commodity after oil. Coffee is present in almost every culture, yet it

takes a wide range of forms throughout the world.

B. Ethiopia is the native homeland to the Coffea genus. People here have been making coffee

in the same way for more than 1,000 years. Today, coffee is still served and serving it is a

ceremony that changes the beans from raw red cherries into a toasty, steaming drink, often

all before the guest’s eyes. In contrast, in the USA there is “gas station coffee,” the type

that one gets in roadside diners. It is an ominously tea-colored product brewed hours

before being served, so it resembles a coffee-like drink rather than genuine coffee.

C. But perhaps nobody has a better tradition of preparing coffee than Italy. Though many

lines of latitude north of coffee-growing countries, Italy has somehow attained the position

of coffee lord and master. It’s here that a coffee lover can enter any establishment,

whether an elegant bar or a small nameless café, and expect no less than the brown-black

best. Never worry about getting a fake instant coffee, because “cafe” in Italy is

synonymous with “espresso.” Add milk, sugar, or ice cubes and the door to the creamy

world of the most popular coffee variations opens wide.
