Abstract

coffee has been grown, processed, roasted, and brewed for thousands of years. This age-old drink has become increasingly popular within the last decade due to the attractiveness of the modern coffeehouse (Shultz 1999:76-77), along with increased global marketing. Yet this popularity is perceived differently in various parts of the world. For example, two countries in which coffee is extremely popular are italy and the united states (coffee 2003). In both countries, the brew is enjoyed daily, and it is readily available at almost every restaurant or café. However, the impacts of coffee in italy and in the united states differ because both countries have vastly diverse histories, cultures, and coffee consumption patterns. Furthermore, many differences are also displayed through the two countries' diverse introductions to coffee and their different locales of coffee purchasing and consumption. Another important difference is the countries' diverse brewing methods (coffee Complex 2001:2). In addition, coffee is prepared as different types of drinks in italy than it is in the united states, with different socials rules and taboos surrounding them, (Bug Services Limited 2000:1) and the countries utilize different brands of coffee (Kenny 2003:1). Finally, the two countries have separate substantial historical events, and different environments that the countries' coffeehouses, cafés, or coffee bars foster.
