Why Coffee?
Why coffee? why this drink has been enjoyed by various groups, for years, even centuries. It's a miracle that this bitter drink can make so many people fall in love.
The main reason, in my opinion, is the caffeine contained in it. Since it was discovered until now, we know that caffeine in coffee makes us not sleepy, so caffeine was popular among students in ancient times, among nobles, and then among workers. The caffeine in coffee is a natural energy and strength booster that is needed by people who are active and productive at work. We can see it everywhere, office workers buy coffee in cafes, blue-collar workers buy coffee in stalls, businessmen and rich people buy premium coffee, all because of the caffeine in it.
But nowadays, coffee is no longer just a bitter drink, but has become a sweet, very, very sweet, everyday drink, but the taste of coffee is actually not only bitter, there are many ingredients in coffee, but caffeine is indeed bitter. For people who are not trained or whose tongues are not sensitive, they will usually interpret the taste of coffee as bitter and sour.
Each ingredient in coffee will react with other liquids and create new, different flavors. This is what makes coffee able to be transformed into various kinds of drinks today, which many young people like. For example, Robusta coffee which is high in caffeine, if you add sweetened condensed milk, it will become a thick, sweet and savory drink. Meanwhile, if you add sweetened condensed milk to Arabica coffee, it will taste sour and savory.

In fact, how the coffee is extracted will also affect the contents of the coffee drink, and of course will affect the taste in the mouth. So imagine how many types of drinks we can create from coffee, of course there are many. That's why recently the coffee omakase trend has emerged.
Last and obvoius reason of course, because we can get addicted to caffeine.
These three things are what I think encourage coffee to continue to be enjoyed by many groups, many people, with various backgrounds. Why do you drink coffee?
