7 reasons we (should) drink coffee

1. Lessened heart attack danger. Drinking a minimum of 2 cups of coffee a day will decrease the chance of dying from a heart attack. A study at the university of York, UK, found that regular coffee drinkers have a noticeable lowered chance of dying due to a heart attack. You can find the research here

2. Something to look up to the moment you get out of bed. Getting out of bed in the morning isn't always the most pleasant experience. Who doesn't like snoozing for at least 5 more minutes. However, the thought of that first sip of coffee is the perfect motivation to get up and start the day. If you have a coffee machine with a timer, the smell of fresh coffee in the morning will add an extra dimension to that motivation.

3. There is a perfect coffee for everyone.. Whether you have a sweet tooth or you like to start your day with something strong there is something for everyone. From the sweetest desserts to a strong black coffee with no added shenanigans. More than that, coffee is used in dozens of different deserts, cocktails and even dishes that implement the coffee bean.

4. An amazing conversation starter. . Today everything has to go fast and there seems to be less and less free time. However, a coffee break seems to stay a constant in the course of time. Who doesn't enjoy making a cup of coffee and small chatting with your colleagues before heading back to work.

5. No one says no to a cup of coffee.. See a girl or guy that you like? Or maybe you need to break the ice with a business partner? Ask them to get a cup of coffee. No one says no to a cup of coffee!

6. "Fairtrade" coffee not only helps the farmers, but is remarkable delicious as well. Next time you go get your daily dose of coffee consider Fairtrade. Not only will you help the farmers get a fair price for their coffee, it tastes remarkable delicious as well, win-win. And let's be honest, Starbucks isn't cheaper...

7. The taste. There is something about coffee that you cannot quite describe. A cup of black coffee is by itself rather bitter. Yet, somehow, for some reason, we can't help grabbing a cup. Quite the contradiction...
