The generation of Americans who fought in World War II, and then married and raised families in the 1950s, had a long-standing love affair with coffee. Whether brewed at home in an old-fashioned percolator or purchased with a meal in a restaurant, coffee was the drink of choice not just for breakfast but for any meal, at any time. While today friends may agree to meet for a drink after work, back then the phrase was meet to have a cup of coffee. Business deals were made, cards were dealt, and many love affairs began over a steaming cup.
Coffee fell out of favor with the Baby Boomer generation, the children of these couples. The advent of soft drinks moved coffee to the back burner in favor of sparkling, carbonated beverages. The older generation stayed with coffee and switched from percolators to newer brewing methods, but coffee lost its place as the nation’s favorite drink.
All that has changed as the millennials have come of age. Coffee shops have appeared seemingly on every corner, serving coffee in more ways than was once imaginable. If You Love Coffee, the search for a steaming cup will be a short one. Once again, couples are meeting for a cup, not a drink. Coffee shops have become the best places to meet, to wait for one’s next appointment, or to log on to the free wifi most sites offer in order to catch up on the social media happenings.
Coffee making has come a long way from the percolator today’s grandparents and great-grandparents sat and listened to as their brew bubbled its way to readiness. There is no waiting for a cup, no variance in temperature, and no discernible change in flavor or strength with today’s Joe brewed from Vending Machines in Dallas. Technology has standardized the industry for coffee and espresso makers, to ensure a quality product wherever it is produced. Vending machines in Dallas makes it possible for businesses to purchase high-end equipment which is fully warranted, and for which technical support is available at all times. Whether for home, office, or corner outlet, coffee has made a comeback and is once again the premier beverage for a generation of Americans.
