Whether it’s a fluffy frozen cappuccino or a dark straight shot, coffee is one of the most personalized indulgences we enjoy on a daily basis. We imbibe to wake up in the morning, to signal a break in the workday, to keep up alert or just for the pleasure of it.

But as individual as the coffee experience seems, it effects many people. Coffee is the second most popular drink worldwide after water. It’s the second most frequently traded commodity after oil. About $80 billion is spent on it annually and more than 20 million people derive a livelihood from it.
