A cup of joe to go
Coffee has been a staple in the American kitchen since the 18th century. It is no wonder that a Starbucks or Dutch Bros. can be spotted on nearly every corner of every town.
According to a study done by Google, “More than 50 percent of Americans (or about 150 million people) drink coffee every day.” “That amounts to a daily consumption of more than 330 million cups! This makes the United States the most coffee dependent country on Earth.”
More and more coffee is making an appearance in the classrooms. Students rely on the caffeine to keep them going to make it through class.
Linn-Benton has two coffee shops: Hot Shot Café and the Courtyard Café, and in the bookstore they have Boyd’s coffee available.
“I go to a coffee shop at least three times a week,” said Taylor Beecher, a Linn-Benton psychology major.
In the Hot Shot Café they have a variety of coffee concoctions to fulfill any caffeine fanatics craving. The most popular drink they serve is their white chocolate mocha with raspberry sauce.
“It is good and sweet,” said David Harold, LB student and barista.
Being from the Bay area Beecher didn’t grow up around Dutch Bros. She had Starbucks and she preferred an iced caramel macchiato because it has a real coffee flavor.
If a coffee isn’t your thing then Karla Ledesma, LB student and barista at Hot Shot Café has a personal favorite: a dirty chai. Ledesma recommends a white chocolate mocha for the coffee lovers out there.
According to National Coffee Association, “Great coffee starts with great beans.”
Stay warm with a cup of joe this holiday season while on campus or on the go.
