Next time you are at your favorite coffee bar and someone catches your eye, here are 10 fascinating coffee curiosities that you can utilise to start a conversation:

1) Coffee is thought to be an aphrodisiac. Research studies have revealed that coffee can increase endurance and the overall length of intimate encounters because it includes a high dose of caffeine and other various alkaloids.

2) Although coffee has been a part of the Arab culture for thousands of years, it did not enter into the western world up until the 1500s. Before that time, priests believed that coffee was a drink of the devil. Yes, devil! Pope Clement VIII lastly ended this line of believing by taking a sip of coffee and then offering it his true blessing.

3) Japan's official Coffee Day is Oct 1st. Yes, believe in it or not, there is a nation, and a heavily tea drinking nation at that, which has a main coffee day. Is that to make their nationals work much more? We will never know.

4) One acre of coffee plants will give near to ten thousand pounds of beans. Once they are crushed or hulled, there are still practically two thousand pounds of coffee beans.

5) 49 out of 50  states grow definitely no coffee. The only state that cultivates coffee is Hawaii. Is that to keep the surfers awaken, we do wonder? You do not want to be dozing when the Big Wave of your existence is coming towards you.

6) Germany is the second biggest coffee customer in the world. Forty-three percent of Germans add sweetener to their coffee, while only twenty-seven percent of Americans (the number one consumer of coffee) use any kind of sweetener in their coffee. Ok, this was more about sweetener than coffee however you understand.

7) The English word coffee is from the Latin word Coffea. Coffea is the Latin name for a genus of trees. If you questioned, "genus" is a principal taxonomic category that is above types and below a family. Any more enlightened? Hm, thank you Wikipedia.

8) Every single one of the 53 countries that grows coffee lies along the equator, in between the tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. That offers us a great indicator on what the best coffee growing weather requires to look like.

9) On average, people who purchase their coffee from drive-through windows prior to work will spend around 45 hours every single year waiting in line for their coffee. That's what is called passion!

10) Petroleum is the only product that is traded more heavily than coffee. The amount of coffee produced around the globe is close to 6 million metric tonnes per year.
