What do you know?

I was watching a show on the history channel about the inner workings of coffee. I had no idea that the coffee "bean" was actually a fruit. Call me stupid, but this thought never occurred to me. They were comparing the coffee tree plantation to a grape vineyard. I had no idea that they were so similar.

I have created a quick summary for those who are interested in the five second version of the show.

1.) Grow coffee (fruit?)
2.) Pick what look like cranberries, but are coffee fruit (see above picture).
3.) Squish out the coffee seeds (this is what we call coffee beans).
4.) Dry wet coffee seeds over air.
5.) Roast coffee beans.
6.) Sell coffee beans or grind 'em up to make coffee.

That's all there is to it. I oversimplified most of the steps, but that is all there is to coffee. Damn it, I hate watching shows like this late at night. Now I have to drive to the 24-hour Starbucks to get my coffee groove on. And I despise Starbucks coffee. But what do you do when your addicted to caffeine and that monkey on your back won't leave you alone? Stupid monkey...
