Coffee is consumed all over the planet and dates back thousands of years. Therefore, there are several styles and kinds of coffee out there, and many drinks have evolved differently in modern times, with new and complex machines and techniques, different agricultural developments, and the varying taste that humans have for this drink. Coffee is a representation of our ever changing societal upgrowth, and encompasses history from all over the world into one cup. The average, basic style of coffee that you find at home or in an office is the “drip.” This is composed of nothing more than steaming hot water that filters through the ground up coffee beans, dripping it into a cup, hence the name “drip.” Then, we have the espresso, which is actually quite similar to the drip. It is done in the same process, but with darker roasted beans, and a grind that is much finer. The machine pressurizes the water through the filter of ground coffee beans, creating a more strong and flavorful cup of coffee.

When one orders a latte they expect that their drink went through a long, complicated process when that really isn’t the
In John Standage’s book, A History of the World in Six Glasses, the history of the world is told through the history of six beverages; beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and Coca Cola. The effect that each has had on the world is profound and immeasurable, however, of the six beverages, I have found that coffee has played the largest and most significant role in world history. One way that coffee affected world history is that establishments that served coffee created a social venue for members of the community to bond over various topics. Standage wrote that coffeehouses were hotspots for “gossip, rumor, political debate, and satirical discussion.”, similar to what they are in the present day. These topics led to Kha’ir Beg, ruler of Egypt, as well as his superiors worrying about coffeehouses being a popular meeting place for those wishing to overthrow the government.
This drink originated in the Middle East, heavily influenced by Arabian culture. Over the course of many years, coffee made its way to Europe through trade and helped Europe to come out of its drunken and alcohol induced haze that has lasted for centuries. This, in of itself, is a huge impact to history, despite the fact that Europe had been drinking mostly alcohol for the past few centuries and the people 's initial dislike of coffee, the drink somehow managed to take over the Western World. Those who drank coffee instead of alcohol in the morning began the day alert and stimulated, rather than relaxed and mildly intoxicated, making the quality of their work better. Coffeehouses became a social center to discuss current events, philosophy and science.
“Drinking Coffee Elsewhere” by ZZ Packer follows the story of Dina, a young black girl from Baltimore, as she copes with life studying at Yale (117-119). Throughout the story, Dina seems to be a fiercely and independent character that likes to be on her own and away from society. She always speaks her mind, regardless of the consequences, but her independence destroys her because of her lack of introspection. This helps her to give up things that will help her get out of her individualism. Due to this, she pushes away the only friend she has because of her inability to understand herself, and her toxic personality.
