Twitter @juangangel Coffee is the drink obtained from the roasted and ground seeds of the coffee plant. It is a highly stimulating drink due to its caffeine content. It is usually drunk during breakfast, after breakfast or even as the only breakfast, although it is also customary to drink it after lunch or dinner, to start conversations or just out of habit. It is one of the most socialising non-alcoholic drinks in many countries. The most popular ways of drinking it are black and with milk (with or without sugar); cream, condensed milk, chocolate or some liquor are also often added, depending on the recipe, as there are many ways to prepare it. It is usually served hot, but it is also drunk cold or with ice. In Spain, Portugal, Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina, it is common to consume roasted or torrefacto coffee, that is, roasted in the presence of sugar. The plant is mainly cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries. Brazil accounts for just over a third of the world's production. Coffee beans are one of the main agricultural products traded on international markets and often make a major contribution to the exports of producing regions. Coffee cultivation is culturally linked to the history and progress of many countries that have produced it for more than a century. During the period 2012/2013, 8.7 million tons of coffee were produced, of which approximately 80% was exported for a value of 19.1 billion dollars, while the gross value of the total industry associated with the coffee trade is estimated at 173.4 billion dollars.1 Currently, more than twenty-five million family farms in about eighty countries grow around fifteen billion coffee trees, the production of which ends up in the 2.25 billion cups of coffee consumed daily. A café, coffee shop or bistro is an establishment dedicated to the sale of coffee and some foods. Source https://es.wikipedia.org Juan Gonzalo Angel Restrepo www.tvagro.tv
