Beauty is commonly said by the wise to be in the eye of the beholder. However, in the eye of this beholder it could be said that there isn't anything quite as beautiful as a dignified gourmet coffee bean. Nothing is ever quite so tantalizing, nor nothing quite so delightfully smelling as the coffee bean can be ever said to exist at all in this plane of existence, except for the bean itself. I may, however, be totally biased. I am indeed, after all, an avid coffee bean grinder. One might even say that I'm addicted to coffee.
It wasn't always this way. The coffee addiction, that is. It's important that I be completely honest, at the very least to my own self, when I mentally travel through time like we are all capable of. There was a period of time in my life when my taste buds were still virgin to the flavor of coffee. Coffee frequently when provided to a kid will seem to them a awful brew in their minds, because it is very a bitter drink. This doesn't seem to be true after years of imbibing, though.
After years of that unnatural secretion of dopamine it leaves its mark on your perception and soon your mind will start to think that it is the coffee that tastes so good, and not your brain relentlessly pursuing after the narcotic effects of the chemical brain manipulator we call caffeine. Caffeine may cause a racing heart, and in the particularly weak-bodied can indeed be fatal subsequent to drinking the 55th mug. If you keep it substantially beneath that relatively large sum of cups you might be okay, however.
I am just teasing you, I'm not sure what the actual LD50 of coffee would truly be, but I guarantee you this: it's a truly extraordinary amount. Let's rewind back to that first moment I tried a caffeinated beverage. It may not come as a surprise to many but gourmet coffee was initially introduced to me through the example of my parents. As we all know, children (even chimp children) reproduce the behavior of their forebears... that is, their parents. This is no less true even when initially building a desire for gourmet coffee.
It shouldn't be a foreign image that is brought to your mind when I talk about this behavioral mimicry. Picture this: a middle age parent, brewing coffee in the early morning hours to get their brain kickstarted before running off to their place of employment. To the many who've matured in such a coffee drinking culture, it may even be solidified in their minds as a lasting pleasant tactile reminder of their busy family. This memory could be said to possess a guiding example that shapes their future selection of favorite drink.
