It is one of the most-consumed beverages in the world.
Coffee is a drink brewed from ground roasted coffee beans, the seeds of the coffee plant. Coffee beans are found in over 70 countries, cultivated primarily in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world.

Once ripe, coffee berries are picked, processed, and dried. The seeds are then roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor and caffiene content. Coffee can have a stimulating effect on humans due to its caffeine content. Seeds are decaffeinated when the coffee is still green. Michael's Gourmet Coffee offers several blends and flavors of DECAF Coffee.

After roasting the coffee beans are ground. The type of grind is often named after the brewing method for which it is generally used. Turkish grind is the finest grind, while coffee percolator or French press are the coarsest grinds. The most common grinds are between the extremes; a medium grind is used in most common home coffee-brewing machines. Most of Michael's Gourmet Coffee are medium grinds.

Coffee can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways. Coffee beans must be ground and brewed to create a beverage. Almost all methods of preparing coffee require the coffee bean to be ground and mixed with hot water for long enough to extract the flavor, but without boiling. Coffee percolators and automatic coffeemakers brew coffee using gravity. In an automatic coffeemaker hot water drips onto coffee grounds held in a coffee filter made of paper, plastic, or perforated metal, allowing the water to seep through the ground coffee while extracting its oils and essences. The liquid drips through the coffee and the filter into a carafe or pot, and the spent grounds are retained in the filter. In a percolator, boiling water is forced into a chamber above a filter by steam pressure created by boiling. The water then seeps through the grounds, and the process is repeated until terminated by removing from the heat, by an internal timer, or by a thermostat that turns off the heater when the entire pot reaches a certain temperature. Coffee may be brewed by steeping in a device such as a French press (also known as a coffee press). Ground coffee and hot water are combined in a cylindrical vessel and left to brew for a few minutes. A circular filter which fits tightly in the cylinder fixed to a plunger is then pushed down from the top to force the grounds to the bottom. Because the coffee grounds are in direct contact with the water, all the coffee oils remain in the beverage, making it stronger and leaving more sediment than in coffee made by an automatic coffee machine. The coffee is poured from the container; the filter retains the grounds at the bottom. 95% of the caffeine is released from the coffee beans within the first minute of brewing.
