In Europe, the drink opposite to coffee is wine, while in the United States, the drink opposite to coffee is tea. During the colonial period, in order to open up the market, Britain dumped tea into the New World and wanted to cultivate the habit of Americans drinking tea, while Americans who wanted independence launched the "Boston Tea pouring incident" and threw tea, which symbolized British power rule, into the sea. at the same time, I chose coffee as my drink.

Magic coffee beans are once again associated with freedom.

Americans are particularly pragmatic towards coffee and do not develop coffee drinking rituals like the European countries do, nor do they add mint or milk as the British do. They are not so interested in the taste buds of coffee. Rather, they love caffeine as much as they are obsessed with amphetamine or hallucinogens. The United States has developed a "358 wine bottle" capsule, each containing 300 milligrams of pure caffeine. In 1999, the US military first developed caffeine chewing gum, which later evolved into chewy coffee; instant coffee is also popular in the United States. These inventions, once used in military use, later became daily necessities for Americans, who consumed large amounts of coffee beans in order to extract pure caffeine from it and put it on the tip of the tongue to relieve pain. They always like to solve problems in the simplest way. If caffeine capsules are refreshing, why take the time to make coffee?

In contrast to simple and crude caffeine drugs, Starbucks, which originated in Seattle, has become a symbol of globalization.

Starbucks makes coffee using Italian methods such as espresso and cappuccino, which is completely different from the traditional American coffee cooking techniques. If you want to find the coffee civilization that represents the country in the United States, you can only go to the cafes or gas stations in the suburbs.

I need pure caffeine! Please help me! "

Caffeine, not coffee, is probably the favorite thing in American culture-giving birth to a hippie atmosphere that is very different from European democracy.
