Many Americans simply cannot function without their morning cup of coffee; in fact it is estimated that 72% of all Americans have a morning cup of coffee to get going. Some say the figure is higher and growing which is a notion one could hardly dismiss considering the growth of coffee houses across America and Starbucks Corporation in particular with same store sales up over 27% in one year alone.

So if you are perpetually in the need of a morning cup of coffee each and every day you are not alone, actually you are in the greater majority, not the minority. What is it that is so appealing to coffee and what effect does it have on our bio-system that revs us up in such short order? Well it is a drug, as caffeine affects the central nervous system in just minutes of consumption. Coffee is a hot drink too, so it is at or near body temperature or greater when we drink it allowing our bodies to immediately go to work on it.

That little pick me up you have every morning is turning on your central nervous system on at a higher speed as the caffeine starts interacting with the chemicals in your body and well you kind of like that, because it super charges you and wakes you up. It gets your brain working at a higher speed and this is why humans like their morning cup of coffee. Think on this.
