General Coffee info. We love it. If you hate it, you suck. Coffee is the bitter nectar of the gods.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

ODE TO COFFEE
Coffee plunges into the stomach; the mind is aroused, and ideas pour forth like the battalions of the Grand Army on the field of battle.... Memories charge at full gallop...the light cavalry of comparisons deploys itself magnificently; the artillery of logic hurry in with their train of ammunition; flashes of wit pop up like sharp-shooters.
Honore de Balzac (1799 - 1850)
There are three intolerable things in life - cold coffee, lukewarm champagne and overexcited women.
Orson Welles (1915 - 1985)
Coffee should be black as hell; strong as death, and sweet as love.

Back in 1970, Australia had been a heavily tea consumer country with every Australian consuming 3.8kg of tea per year.
Today, with the coffee culture gaining popularity, tea consumption has declined to 0.8kg per capita, ranked 5th in the world. (doubtful stats there) but yes the coffee culture has gripped Oz with a vengeance.
