As coffee-drinking adults, we’ve incorporated java into our daily lives so seamlessly (and addictively) that we’ve probably failed to realize how much conditioning it took to make that happen. Sure, we might need coffee to get us going every morning (and throughout the day — several times, preferably injected straight into our veins), but based on taste alone, is this really our first choice of beverages?
