A mainstay of American society, coffee has a long history that dates back to the colonial era. The coffee industry in the United States is diversified now, with both big chain coffee shops and independent specialty coffee shops competing for customers. While well-known names in the industry include Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, and McDonald’s, specialty coffee roasters like Peet’s Coffee and Caribou Coffee provide distinctive, artisanal brews.
A social lubricant, a pick-me-up for busy professionals, and even a representation of American creativity and enterprise, coffee has integrated into American life. Each and every coffee drinker can find something they enjoy in the United States, whether they want their coffee black, with cream and sugar, or as a flavoured latte.
