Today the world consumes more than 100 million bags of coffee a year!

The coffee is an infusion made from the coffee beans toasted and ground, but it is much more than that, I am of those who think that coffee is much more; For me it is a meeting place, it is the perfect excuse to share and converse, to meet old and new friends, those who find one on the way and finish the presentation with a suggestive "Let's have a coffee!"

"A good cup of black liquor, well prepared, contains as many problems and as many poems as a bottle of ink." - Ruben Dario_

Even in this time of "scarcity" there is always a time for the gathering around the smoking cups, and there is never an excuse to taste a bold or a guayoyo. The Venezuelan is like this, cafecero, from the llanero to the oriental without leaving aside the Andean and the Zulian, we all attract coffee, whether bakery, industrialized "Nescafe" (advertising not paid) or tacit that mom Prepares us to visit.

The coffee is as Venezuelan for the Venezuelan as the arepa or the cachapa, and we are born talkers and the marroncito (little brown) is the perfect companion for the talk.

We are so adept at guarapo that we have put an infinity of name, brown, black, long, short, guayoyo, with milk, bottle, light brown, dark, cerrero among the best known.

I asked for the Zaigon at the university! A huge glass of juice filled with red coffee to lift the mood and follow the day of classes ...

Now, I am satisfied with the small of the street vendors, who in the face of the crisis, have achieved in their terms a way to survive and serve by offering the public their morning drink.

This blog I hung it a few years ago or so, and in that time went from being a consumer to a distributor, that coffee vendor who so often stops now is me. And in the process I met a lot of interesting people, some of them I even brought to Steemit to follow our discussions, is that when selling a coffee ended up engulfed in hours of conversations of history, literature and daily life with @cesinfenianos, @myzik and @gigicasado Those people who called me to whassap at 9:05 if they still did not bring their daily dose of black joy.

I thank you for becoming the coffee vendor, and bringing the meeting place to many people every day.

This is our coffee, a site, an encounter, part of the Venezuelan life!
