[Where to Find the Best Coffee in the World][1] [[Food-and-Drink:Coffee
Articles from EzineArticles.com][2]]

There are a lot of different opinions on what the best coffee out there is, as
well as what defines a great cup of coffee. My wife and I have asked friends,
family, and our coffee drinking companions around the world what they consider
to be the tastiest coffee. As you can imagine, we have gotten a lot of
different answers. We will share with you what we have learned, and the
varieties that we have come across in our journey; then let you be the judge.

[The 1890s Version of Starbucks in New York][3] [[Food-and-Drink:Coffee
Articles from EzineArticles.com][2]]

There were real cafes in New York in the 1890's but they were chiefly in the
parts of the city where the newly arrived immigrants lived, especially the
lower East side, where men, even though they were not flush, could find time

coffee then went from low to high, (like what we find today in fact): people
could get a cup for as low as a penny from the places called "coffee stands"

undesirable, but now it is thought of as the crucial way to judge the quality
of a good espresso.

An espresso coffee or a cappuccino offers two completely different drinks.
Their flavor and aroma draw to one drink or the other. But, when it comes to a
cappuccino the added steamed milk and foam becomes irresistible for many.
