Coffee is getting too Complicated

Coffee is getting too Complicated.  Good old plain coffee is not being used as much as it used to.  I have always wondered why? It may because it has become so easy to make a unique cup of coffee for your family, neighbors and friends.  Coffee clubs and coffee social meeting stores have become the normal thing.  This locations make it easy to meet, hang out, pass the time while at the same time have Internet (WI-FI) service.

Coffee is getting too complicated.  The days are Gone when you can just visit a coffee shop for a simple cup of coffee.

This is mostly due to coffee fans of gourmet or unique coffee all over america.  The same people get their specialty coffee from special stores and even order it from catalogs or the Internet.  Grinding the beans themselves and enjoying that fresh ground aroma of coffee.  When abroad to other countries like Panama, Costa Rica, Venezuela or Colombia they buy it there and bring it back to America to share with their friends and family.  And yes, the occasional neighbor. Much like wine tasting there are even Coffee Tasting events.

It has not stopped there.  Specialty markets just for coffee is available.  Mugs, hats, furniture, and more.

History says that coffee was first used as an stimulant in 900 A.D. Like medicine and wine it has progressed and expanded thru out the ages.
