Coffee 101

I was catching up on some coffee blog reading at the Daily Demitasse earlier and came across a post titled, Video: Quick Coffee Facts.  The post links to a fun YouTube video of a quick talking guy giving out facts about coffee.

Some facts gleaned from the video:

  • 300 tons of caffeine consumed every day
  • USA is the largest buyer of coffee
  • coffee grows in the tropics
  • Finland drinks 3x more coffee per day than Americans
  • caffeine is a natural insecticide
  • caffeine fights off headaches
  • coffee is good for you
  • coffee brought us out of the dark ages
  • coffee is our fuel

Watch the video, it is a quick watch.
