There are a lot of great songs about falling in love and breaking up, dreams that never come true and, of course, alcohol. And while all those things feed our soul, there’s no denying the workplace is fueled by coffee. Let’s be honest, coffee is associated with waking up and getting stuff done, sometimes the daily drudge stuff but other times, the wonderfully creative and intoxicatingly beautiful stuff.
Theodore Roosevelt reportedly drank more than a gallon of coffee daily while Beethoven took his coffee with exactly 60 beans per cup and Bach wrote a short opera about his coffee obsession.
