A rippled white heart sits on the surface of a layer of espresso and milk, inside a twelve ounce cup. A layer of caffeine is hidden underneath the velvet snow. The rippled white heart is contrasted with the colour of the beans, a sweet touch to a bitter taste. The milk does not hide the taste, but it enhances its strength. The rippled white heart are the layers in the cup, like the complex layers of a coffee bean. The commodity of a drink is taken for granted and the process takes months to produce. It is a hidden fruit that no one sees. Coffee is more than a bean, it’s actually a seed.

Arabica beans are harvested once or twice a year. Its colour is like the trees, green and not yet what is normally served on the market. Roasting the coffee beans changes the colour and flavour. The caffeine is bitter when it’s brewed to a cup, but there is rarely caffeine at all. Lattes are just a waste of milk with an ounce of two of espresso. Espresso does not have much caffeine, only the grind makes it strong. The taste goes from bitter to sweet, like the oils on the beans. I don’t notice the difference until it touches my tongue and the bitter taste rush to the back of my mouth. As a customer, I know what I want, but I am easily influenced my the commodity of the changing drinks. The flavour is what satisfy my tastes and I am unaware where any components come from. Yet, as a barista, I make the drinks and learn the process how the bean reaches the cup. It is the precise weight and the measurements, to ensure a well rounded taste.

Quality is more important than quantity, when the beans are sorted by weight. The ratio of the beans to water matters for the perfect balance. The more beans to water, makes the coffee stronger and bitter, while more water to beans is weaker with no flavour. The commodity of a perfect cup is sold at its cheapest. However, those who harvest and process it, must compensate who grew

With instant coffee, K-cups, and coffee machines, as well as the popularity of cafés like Tim Hortons and Starbucks, it has become very easy for us to get our coffee fix, but it can take a long time for us to find the perfect cup.

Americans are obsessed with a lot of things: our smart phones, celebrities, and finding a good bargain. But perhaps the thing we’re most obsessed with is good ol’ coffee. For many of us, our mornings are perfectly diabolical without at least a cup or two or three of the stuff. And, come 2 o’clock, when we know in our heart and bones we’ll never make it ‘til five and we need that pick me up, many of us head to the nearest deli or barista to grab a cup of “second wind.”
