Chances are you drink coffee every day without giving it a second thought. But have you ever stopped and wondered, “Is this even good for me?”.
There’s a lot of conflicting advice out there offering a varying degree of opinions on caffeine and how coffee interacts with the body. And that’s because coffee has gone through quite the transformation in recent years.
We now have coffee spiked cosmetics, coffee grounds as a seasoning, and home kits for brewing coffee and cold brew populate Millenial countertops across the country.
But let’s not forget the biggest contributor to coffee’s meteoric rise in popular culture. Every corner is now dominated by the familiar green logo emblazoned with a white mermaid. In Chicago alone, there are 796 Starbucks. This includes a 35,000 sq ft. location predicted to roast nearly 200,000 pounds of coffee beans annually. The Starbucks Reserve Roastery Chicago was so highly anticipated that Rewards members admittedly skipped work to attend its grand opening.
“ I love the space. It’s very unique, and everyone is friendly, and this location — it is in the heart of where everyone wants to be.”
