After spending 34 years in the world of coffee imports, where my days were filled with more coffee tastings (more like coffee sucking) than I can count and selling it to the catering industry, learned me that there exists a mighty tribe of coffee fanatics roaming on this coffee dependent planet.
These coffee aficionados aren’t just your run-of-the-mill java drinkers. No, they’re more obsessed with their java than a cat on a midnight mission to redecorate your living room at 3 AM. I mean, these folks don’t just drink coffee; they practically bleed espresso.
These Shakespeares of caffeine can spot a single-origin Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from a mile away and talk about coffee notes with the precision of a microbe inspecting an atom with a magnifying glass.
It’s like they’ve formed a secret society dedicated to the art of caffeination. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve already built a coffee temple somewhere, complete with an altar of freshly ground beans and a choir that chants the virtues of the perfect pour-over.
It’s a caffeinated world out there and these are the 50 signs you should be slightly concerned that you might just be one more espresso shot away from turning into a walking, talking coffee bean!
