That Coffee Habit Probably Began at Childhood

One cup, five cups, multiple cups throughout the day. People love their coffee! I mean at one time, East Lansing beat out Seattle as the best place in America to get a cup of coffee.

Over a third of coffee drinkers say they've been drinking it since they were a kid. Some of them say they started before they turned 10! That feels a bit young, but what do I know!

Check this out. A recent survey had some, pardon the pun, eye opening results. 36% were over 21 when they started, and another 28% were between 17 and 20. But 17% were between 13 and 16 years old . . . 7% were between 10 and 12 . . . and 8% were even younger. That includes 3% who were under the age of SIX!

Did your parents let you start drinking coffee before you were a teen? Some people treat coffee like booze where their kids are concerned. The same survey also asked how old someone SHOULD be before they start drinking coffee. Only 13% said before you're a teenager.

I get it. There are a lot of coffee options...

Sometimes the iced coffee is what you need. Refreshing and oh so satisfying.

Other of us like our coffee fancy. The cappuccino can handle that. Before or after dinner.

Sometimes regular coffee doesn't give you quite enough of a kick. Espresso is the go to when the average cup just won't work.

If we are keeping it 100, who doesn't appreciate a good latte? Pumpkin spice, salted caramel, or otherwise.

From a cup of simple black coffee to something far more exciting, coffee is everywhere. I mean a coffee martini is fine way to end a long week. Whether you are basic or exotic, where is your go to for coffee in these parts?

Speaking of which. All this talk about coffee has me craving one. I'll be at Biggby on Jolly in a few.
