About Coffee

“It’s all in the grind, Sizemore. Can’t be too fine, can’t be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science.”
Black Hawk Down (2001) – Grimes

“Life is very much like coffee – the aroma is always better than the actuality.”
Born to Kill (1947) – Albert Arnett

“We want to do a lot of stuff; we’re not in great shape. We didn’t get a good night’s sleep. We’re a little depressed. Coffee solves all these problems in one delightful little cup.”
Jerry Seinfeld, comedian

“I would rather suffer with coffee than be senseless.”
Napoleon Bonaparte, dictator

“A cup of coffee – real coffee – home-browned, home ground, home made, that comes to you dark as a hazel-eye, but changes to a golden bronze as you temper it with cream that never cheated, but was real cream from its birth, thick, tenderly yellow, perfectly sweet, neither lumpy nor frothing on the Java: such a cup of coffee is a match for twenty blue devils and will exorcise them all.”
Henry Ward Beecher, Clergyman and social reformer

“I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.”
T.S. Eliot, Poet, essayist and writer

“Coffee is a language in itself.”
Jackie Chan, actor

“Coffee is a lot more than just a drink; it’s something happening. Not as in hip, but like an event, a place to be, but not like a location, but like somewhere within yourself. It gives you time, but not actual hours or minutes, but a chance to be, like be yourself, and have a second cup.”
Gertrude Stein, American novelist
