2. The question was what is going
to be the next big thing in
educational technology?

4. What the heck is an
infographic?

8. 1. While 1.6 billion cans of “the leading cola” are consumed every day in the
world, 1.7 billion cups of coffee are consumed. Coffee wins!
2. The United States is responsible for 35% of the global coffee consumption.
That means 300 million people drink about 400 million cups of coffee each day
in the U.S.
3. The first coffee advertisement in a U.S. newspaper appeared in 1790.
4. The espresso machine was invented in 1901 in Italy. A man named Luigi
Bezzera invented it based on a French design from 1822. He wanted to create a
machine that made coffee faster so his employees wouldn’t take as much time
on their coffee breaks.
5. In 1732, J.S. Bach composed a cantata about coffee addiction.
vs. 6. In Leipzig, where Bach lived, coffee houses were very popular.
7. Today, Italy has over 200,000 espresso bars.
8. Breakfast time is the heaviest coffee drinking time – 65% of coffee drinks are
consumed at breakfast time.
9. The average espresso drive-thru dispenses between 200 and 300 cups of
coffee per day.
10. $12.2 billion dollars in sales were brought in by The Specialty Coffee
Association of America. 11. 75% of those sales came from cafes and coffee
shops.
12. Coffee is second to oil in the world’s highest traded commodities.
13. Back in Bach’s day in the 1700′s, coffee addiction was considered a social
problem.
14. Men are from Mars, etc. Men say coffee helps them get their work done.
15. Women say coffee helps them relax.
16. In 2011, the average price of an espresso-based drink is $2.45.
17. It would take 81.63 days to break even if you bought an espresso machine
for $200 and had a single cup of coffee every day.
