Coffee I have to come to realise that a lot of read.cash users love Coffee. I am not telepathic or anything, I have just observed through the articles they wrote and regional location also has an influence like those living in places with cold weather will often drink hot beverages than people living in places with hot weather. Coffee, a stimulant I was told it was, to make one hyperactive and energetic, causing loss of sleep - this was how it was described to me when I was a kid and it thus further contributed to me avoiding it. As a little boy, no one in my household or family talked about Coffee or brought it home, we mostly took tea and concocted herbal drinks. I started hearing of the word "*Coffee*" in school and on televisions. My parents would tell me not to take Coffee even when offered, like it was some kind of narcotics or hard drugs ... maybe they were trying to protect my health and social behaviour as a kid, as I was hyperactive and don't let go easily of foods/drinks that I love/become fond of ... maybe they were trying to prevent me from being addicted to it from a young age but now that I had grown, I started seeing fallacies in their tales of Coffee to me, they were trying to guide my exposure but went too far I guess. Let me go broad on what I have learnt and discovered about Coffee ( I *won't be going into the making and processing of it, maybe next time hehe )* Coffee is a drink prepared from roasted Coffee beans and it contains caffeine as the chief chemical 6⁶present in it ( it has other chemicals present also). It is the caffeine present that acts as a stimulant to the nervous system and other organs like the heart. People claim that the intake of Coffee regularly helps in bading off certain diseases in the body. Coffee also has its history deep with the Arabia and Africa. I first got a front-row insight first in the making of Coffee from a popular Anime called *****Tokyo Ghoul********.*** It was an anime where vampires exist and of course, we all know whom vampires are - they are beings who thrive on sucking of human blood for nutrients and sustenance. Not all the vampires in the Anime loved sucking blood or are turned into a Vampire of their own free will ... some choose to stick to their human personalities and not drink blood; normal human foods like the burger, pancit, pizza, fries and all tastes repulsive and is unswallowable and undigestable to the vampires ( all of them ) but some have learned to master the art of eating those foods as they can sometimes find themselves in the midst of normal humans where eating is to be done. *Where am I going with all this you might ask*: the normal human food that is acceptable to the Vampires is **COFFEE** ,yes ... you heard me right Coffee and there was a particular coffee shop named ANTEIKO which was runned by vampires who had learn to control their urge for human blood but drink blood too. They are so devoted that the blood they drink was from people who just freshly committed suicide.

Let me stop my day dream trip to one of my favorite Animes and focus on the topic at hand What I would pull out from my Anime trip was that at the coffee shop ANTEIKO , the owner made such good coffee and he said *making a good coffee depends on the type of coffee beans used, the manner in which the coffee is made, the attitude and mood at which the maker is in and the energy being put into the making. He made it known that making good coffee comes from the heart and that a good heart makes a good Coffee and a bad one makes a bad Coffee.* People take coffee for so many and diverse reasons like for mental alertness, clear thinking, reduction of fatigue and so much more. Drinking caffeinated coffee frequently isn't advisable as they have bad effects to one's medical health and coffee is best taken with fat-filled dairy than when taken dry. An acceptable range of Coffee cup intakes is 2-3 cups daily and rumors has it that people become addicted to taking Coffee after a long time and can't do without taking a cup or two daily. I just want to express that I would also be embarking on my Coffee journey also and would like to share with you my experiences and observations as I go forth and maybe get a couple lessons or two from you all. A toast of an *espresso* to you all, my dear friends.
