From first sips to daily rituals, we’re diving into all things coffee—how we take it, why we love it, and how it became a global obsession. We trace coffee’s journey from Ethiopian goat herders to European Enlightenment fuel, break down how it’s produced and consumed around the world, and debate the essentials: hot vs. iced, and Dunkin vs. Starbucks.

As always, we’ll chat iconic coffee moments in pop culture, our favorite small chain coffee spots, and why coffee might be the ultimate social glue—from work catch-ups to “let’s grab a coffee” culture.
