Has American Coffee Gone South?

A recent consumer report rated 37 different American coffee blends available on the market, only to find that none of them were able to score as high as "Excellent" or "Very Good". What gives?

Interestingly enough, one of the highest scoring American coffee blends was the Starbucks House Blend at a mediocre rating of "Good". An American coffee blend constitutes a combination of coffee beans from at least two different growing regions all over the world. The problem is that many American roasters have started using cheaper Robusta beans within their blends to save costs, which often impacts the taste of the coffee blend for the worse.

If you hope to preserve the integrity of your cup of Joe, then make sure to purchase whole beans, grind them fresh, and look for roasts that are made with 100% Arabica coffee beans to promote flavor.

Where Did Coffee Come From?

What an important question! If you are passionately sipping your coffee every single morning, then it is important that you learn more about your delicious brew. Right now, 65 countries worldwide are producing coffee, and the only state in the US to do so is Hawaii. Puerto Rico also does produce coffee, which is a United States territory. Japan is stepping up their game by being the third largest coffee drinking country in the world, and they have their own Coffee Day on October 1, which is a national holiday for them. I'm jealous! Why isn't America on board with that?

1400 million cups of coffee are enjoyed worldwide every single day, and the history of coffee has been going on for over 700 years. You may feel like coffee houses are a truly popular cultural staple in our country, but they were originally banned in England by King Charles II who thought that people were using them to plot against him. This probably was not too far off the mark since we still gather at coffee houses today to talk, socialize, and discuss business. One last little tidbit, Americans appear to be drinking their coffee more naturally, since only 30% of them prefer to use a sweetener, compared to 57% of English coffee drinkers that sweeten their coffee.
So where does your coffee come from? It's good to know a little bit more info behind your cup of Joe so that you can sit back and enjoy your brew. Life is good...
