Romantic, alluring and intoxicating, coffee is the drink of choice for millions. As the second-largest traded commodity in the world, it plays a role in the lives of more than 12 billion people every single day.

People come together over coffee. No matter where you are in the world - at your kitchen table, or in an unfamiliar city or country, neighborhood, restaurant, or cafe - you can share the joy of a good cup.

Perhaps you are sitting at a window and watching the world go by as your hands cradle the steaming mug and the fresh coffee sends its heady aromas into the air - a few introspective moments spent observing a familiar ritual contribute to your enjoyment of life, alone or with friends, even in unfamiliar surroundings. Where ever you travel and wherever you go, you have a friend in coffee.
