Coffee. The most important meal of the day.

My family is Colombian, on our finca (farm) we grow coffee at an altitude of about 7500 above sea level. What is truly ironic- we all love Italian coffee, as it's much smoother than the typical Colombian Tinto (Black coffee). The soil, altitude, and amount of rain a plant gets helps create it's flavor, but the roasting part is also critical- slow over a small flame creates a mellow flavor- think Illy coffee; a high heat quick roast and you end up with Starbucks- bitter and burned tasting. Thanks for posting this!

There is something satisfying drinking coffee watching the History Guy talking about coffee.

I drank coffee when I was younger but I couldn't understand it when people said they couldn't get started or function without having coffee in the morning. I'm 65 now and I understand totally.... 😲

My one morning cup of coffee, as I come to, is the most sacred part of my day.

Congratulations on indulging 1,000,000 history fiends, THG!

I have three cups of local coffee every morning here in Jamaica, which makes me part of a small minority. Most Jamaicans drink "tea", usually made from various plants and trees, rather than true tea. In fact, they call what I drink "coffee tea".

Don’t knock those “Penny Universities” of the past. They are the foundations of my YouTube Degree.

Ironically, you don't need a cup of coffee to stay awake throughout this video.
-
The History Guy is a class act. Love listening to his Prof like delivery. He reminds me of my favorite Prof who claimed he paused, only so we could keep up taking notes.

The historical period just before coffee was discovered is actually known as the “Dark Ages.”

I enjoyed listening to this this morning during my morning commute, enjoying a cup of Joe Daniels.

Sitting in my recliner enjoying my first cup of coffee for the day. Every morning it's a cup of coffee, a glass of moo juice, and a cinnamon and raisin bagel.

Maxwell House coffee slogan " good to the last drop " was first spoken by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1907 @ the Maxwell House hotel in 1907 who had their own coffee roasting plamt near them in downtown Nashville, TN in response to a waiter's question " how was that ciffee ".

My morning coffee and The History Guy, name a more iconic duo.

Hey THG, we're on the verge of 1 million subscribers. I'm going to congratulate you on that milestone today, because I'll bet we reach it before your wednesday episode. You have one of the best channels on youtube, and you deserve the rewards of your continued excellence.

An interesting side note, there was a brand of coffee named George Washington Coffee. It wasn't named after our president, it was named after the man who started the company. Also Maxwell House's tag line "Good to the last drop" was supposedly what Teddy Roosevelt exclaimed when he drank the coffee at the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. It might not be important but it is a bit of trivia for discussion at your local coffee house.

Named my mixed-breed lab "Coffee." Was puzzling over a name for him at six weeks... while drinking a cup. I said, "I love coffee!" -- Looked down at him, the puppy, and exclaimed, "that's your name, COFFEE!"

I love the connecting of the dots on words we use today and their etymology.
