Abstract
In today’s society, over half of the adults in the United States drink coffee daily, and the percentage has been in increase for the past years or decades. In general, this increase of consuming coffee has been affected by various factors. It depends on ethnicity, race, age, gender, life stress and even the weather or hours of the day disturbs why people consume it. But how often people drink coffee? Or, What properties coffee drinkers know coffee has? These are some question that many people do not show to be concerned about. Most of the people don’t care about how harmful or benefiting the consumption of coffee can be for

The first question was about how many times in the day they drink coffee, or if they do not drink coffee at all. This question was to create some insight about all the caffeine they are giving to their body. The second one was about the usual time they drink coffee. This one was to show them the pattern they might use without even noticing it. The third question was asking for a reason why they drink coffee. This one was used to identify the key terms that induce them to have a coffee and the dependency from it. The fourth one was about the kind of coffee they usually drink. This one was used just to find differences between the addictions of drinking coffee, if any. Finally, the fifth one was as simple as the knowledge about coffee’s side effects. This one was used to identify consumer’s knowledge about the coffee they are drinking. The survey can be found below in Appendix B.
2.3 Procedure. I sat outside of a well-populated Starbucks coffee near FIU on the eighteen of February of this year two thousand and thirteen and asked different fifteen people who sat there with large cups of coffee and that were willing to fill out a five questions survey, also they did not seem to be from the same ethnicity or race. Also, I explained what the questionnaire was for, so that I get correct answers from them with no fear of giving a wrong answer. I had to ask nearly
Fortunately, the current examination has shown coffee to continue a of good health choice, as lengthy as one is not topping more than 3 topping-bout a day. This guideline is based on the deed that the cardinal element found in coffee is a intermix called caffeine. Caffeine is a of nature intermix made from more than 50 vegetable sources. While caffeine in undue amount has been linked to some increased freedom from disease
Initial preview: To achieve a good understanding of coffee, it is important to know what coffee is, the benefits
The caffeine in coffee become an ethical increase over alcohol and have become a fashionable social beverage. It was interesting to see how it started off as this very exotic drink only for the upper class and then turned into what it is now. Coffee is a very fashionable drink that does not cost much that many have led their days with in today’s society.
The six customers who entered were repeat purchasers, meaning they purchased from this café before. This assumption was made because these customers knew what they wanted before they ordered and they knew where they wanted to sit. Two of the customers brought reading material and one student had a lap top. All customers appeared comfortable in this social setting and changed their behaviours to suit the calm, relaxing environment. My observation has led me to group the customers as follows: 1) Exuberant Students – young, fashionable and energetic students who perhaps think of coffee as a fashion statement or who enjoy sugar rushes, 2) Working Class Drinkers – employees who drink coffee to escape the world of work and 3) Indulgers – individuals who drink coffee because of the pleasure derived or those who seek caffeine fixes.
Approximately eighty percent of caffeine is consumed in the form of coffee, and in the United States we average about two cups of coffee per day. More than 150 million Americans drink coffee on a daily basis (Vantal). Some people can use coffee as a scapegoat for instance, “I can not work properly without my coffee in the morning. ” I had went to my local and asked out of curiousty how many drinks do they serve, and their response was about six hundred to seven hundred beverages, but locations do vary.
Beginning the day with a cup of coffee has become a ritual for many college students. As a college freshmen, I found out that many students from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign were addicted to Starbucks. Most of them consumed two to three cups of coffee per day and spend an average of $16 - $25 dollars per week in Starbucks. This was at stake because students can be drown into debt because of their overspending in Starbucks. Also, drinking too much coffee can lead to stomach problems and other debilitating illnesses that cloud the mind and make the body sluggish. Therefore, I designed to conduct a research and find out why Starbucks are so attractive that caused students overspend their money. Based on the primary sources I
Imaging if there was no more coffee in this world, how would you feel? Nowadays, coffee becomes an important part of people’s life. People who often work overtime, they drink coffee because caffeine can make you awake; people who have to wake up early in the morning, they drink coffee because instead of making breakfast, coffee is more convenient; people drink coffee during the free time, because it also tastes good.
The survey questions mostly consisted of multiple choice questions, two open-ended questions, allowing written responses, and one qualitative response question. These questions were chosen to establish consumers differences and comparative perspective of Starbuck’s competitors, their daily usage of the social media platforms, the coffee shops visited frequently, and their opinions on consumers who frequent Starbucks. The survey contains one matrix/rating scale question ( Appendix I, Question 5) based on how important qualities are when choosing a coffee shop. Lastly, there were two demographic questions. The demographic questions are for a general understanding on consumers behavior based on age group and gender. For an overview of the survey, see appendix I.
Like the nicotine in the cigarettes, coffee can act as a stimulant and cause an increase of the symptoms that Mr. S. experiences. Due to this fact, it is important that Mr. S. reduces the amount of coffee that he drinks throughout the day. Because caffeine is an addictive substance, it will be necessary to gradually weign off of the stimulant. Going cold turkey could produce some negative withdrawal symptoms which are another reason for my recommendation for the patient to be gradually weigned off of the substance. To assist Mr. S. in reducing his coffee consumption, I will create a plan that will periodically reduce the amount of caffeinated coffee that is consumed. The reduction plan will include Mr. S. alternating between caffeinated
Depending on whether a person is a habitual or non-habitual caffeine drinker, caffeine consummation can have either a positive or negative effect on a person’s mood and performance (Childs & de Wit, 2006). One hundred and two (51 males and 51 females) nondependent caffeine users who consumed less than 300 mg of caffeinated beverages per week participated in a four experimental session study. Each participant was given four drug conditions in capsule form (placebo, 50, 150, or 450 mg of caffeine), each in random order, with three days intervals, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Before and after each drug administration, the participant’s physiological data (heart rate, blood pressure) was measured. Also the participant’s had to take behavior tasks
Do you start your day with a fresh, steaming cup of coffee? Do you drink coffee to satisfy your addictive craze? Do you need caffeine to keep you awake? Well, roughly 80% of Americans do. In an average day 90% of Americans consume some type of caffeine. With so many people ingesting caffeine, do they know what it is? Are you conscious of your intake? Do you know how much you have per day? Did you know you could die from caffeine poisoning or overdose? You can! Do you need to consume caffeine daily to function properly? If so then you are most likely addicted. Caffeine has increasingly become an important part of our daily lives. The majority of the population tends to stop by Starbucks or any close-by coffee shops every morning in order to begin their workdays normally. There are many benefits and of course, disadvantages of caffeine to the human’s bodily functions that might not be as well known as most people think they do.
The second major flaw in the coffee taste studies is the existence of external variables. It is evident that the first and third studies had underlying variables that may have significantly affected their outcomes. The first study notes that “the author of this study personally purchased coffee to go at four places, took them to his office, tasted them, made notes and drew conclusions” (pg. 63). This indicates a major flaw of this particular study because the time frames for which each cup of coffee was obtained and then consumed are inconsistent.
Thesis: Caffeine is something that almost everyone has consumed and some people are even addicted to. Caffeine has negative and positive effects on one’s health
Although coffee is viewed as a food item, it can be used to understand the rhetoric’s of health, addiction and as a drink.
Coffee is one of the most popular beverages worldwide. Eighty-three percent of Americans drink coffee daily, and some more than one cup. Coffee is made by the grinding of roasted coffee seeds, also known as coffee beans, adding hot water allowing it to flow through the coffee grinds. Coffee was traditionally introduced as an energy booster to get people through the day. Today, coffee is also a social mechanism where people feel required to drink it every day. The aspect that makes coffee so addictive is the caffeine. Caffeine is not addictive the way meth or cocaine is but regular use of caffeine as a stimulate, can cause mild physical dependence. However, coffee is addicting it does allow many health benefits. Coffee can reduce the risk of type two diabetes and increase the possibility of preventing oral cancers. But like all good things, drinking coffee should not be abused, like coach Phil from Kicking & Screaming, who throughout the main part of the movie, chugged cups after cups of cappuccinos. Drinking a large amount of coffee does pose several cons. A con of coffee is an increase in anxiety, and have a negative effect on prescribed medicine.
