Coffee, you are the greatest of all caffeinated drinks, as you seduce and embrace whoever is engulfed by your pleasant aroma. However! Not to be confused of course, you have many clichéd imitators that may not be entitled to such an honor or praise. Clarifying which of your kind such praise is worthy of, I believe, is essential to fully allowing us to embrace your magnificence.
There are two kinds of coffee which exist. The first kind is the pure coffee, where the solvent is solely used as a mode of transporting such heavenly taste into the taste buds of the recipient’s mouth. This is why I believe that the only two that fit into this category are your faithful friends,devotees and disciples, Expresso and Americano. They consist of nothing but the pure essence of your bean carried in the stream of distilled H2O. The second kind is the impure coffee, where the coffee has been tainted with vile substances that disrupt the heavenly taste of the bean itself. The impure coffee also leaves an unsatisfactory aftertaste, rather than maintaining a sweeter trace. Such imitators can be found being called the “Frappuccino”, “Latte”, “Mocha”- and the worst one- the “Caramel Macchiato”. This exquisite name, Caramel Macchiato, does not deserve such place in the honors of Starbucks. Instead it should be changed to a more humble name of milk-with-a lot-of-caramel.
Your divine origins further place you with higher importance. Who would first think of plucking a coffee bean from a little tree? Let alone drying, roasting and running boiling water to make a cup of the stuff! This must be praised. With so many possibilities and human discoveries, such chances of stumbling upon coffee are immensely minute. Such chances must not be considered lightly. You, coffee, and I were meant to be.
Even the divine itself blessed Coffee gratefully. A fateful and imperative encounter it was. Before this blessing, Catholic oppressors were induced in the perpetuating idea that Coffee was the work of the devil and was introduced to mankind with its evil virtues. These fools tried to even manipulate the all mighty, the magnificent- the Pope himself. The Pope, being incited by curiosity decided to try this aromatic libation. Coffee, being so opulent, encompassed the Pope with its delightful flavors and effects to a point where he was dismayed that the black brew wasn’t popular enough with Christians. To resolve this, the Pope admiringly baptized the black brew; allowing all Christians to emulsify themselves into the captivating Coffee culture.
You, of all drinks, gave me comfort, warmth and love. You were there whenever I needed you. You listened to me. You let my lips embrace the soft touch of you. You even helped me get through harsh nights, where I felt all hope was lost. It was especially hard when we had to part ways, where I was left with an empty mug. Hollow.
Not only have you been a companion, but you have given me capacities that I not yet thought were possible. Some people underestimate you as just black water- but I gaze behind your darkened hues. Your taste is accompanied by a stimulating something, a special something that only reveals itself to the devoted. Caffeine, is its name; and blessed it should sound. Like a jolt of Zeus’s lighting, it strikes; hitting hard like a hammer. This should also be praised. Helping me through my work it did. It conveyed to me fresher, newer and better thoughts that a worldly being would have no chance of envisioning. With this, I could exert myself to new heights, allowing me to work with ambition, think with reasoning andtype with momentum.
We must not forget the effect Coffee has on children. Oh! Coffee, have you saved many from child obesity. Chaperoning your children to Tim Horton’s (the Dunkin Doughnuts of Canada) is not a problem anymore! Stuffing their mouths full of doughnuts- not a problem anymore either! Not a problem if paired with the almighty Coffee! You see, Coffee, once again have you saved the lives of many, millions even. Your ability to drop kick horrendous dormant fat cells into the blood stream, allows all those doughnut mouth-stuffing kidsto incinerate their fat like a Ferrari on steroids.
Coffee, you are especially tolerant and accepting too. You graciously allow yourself to be paired with other insignificant foods. For example: The Cheesecake. How the cheesecake can bear being in your presence; is a mystery to even me. Its pungent and sour taste makes itself inferior to the superb taste of you, my dear coffee. Even though, you, of all drinks, would feel embarrassed in the presence of such foods, you stood your ground and displayed such pride and finesse. Instead of making you look worse in the presence of such insignificant foods, you shone with modesty. With your aromas leaving little to the imagination, your blend of citrusy and sweet-spiced undertones ignites the feeling of nostalgia in my mind; leaving a slight salivating sensation. Oh! Coffee I wish you could be better.
