Morning coffee

cof·fee (kôf, kf) n.
1. a. Any of various tropical African shrubs or trees of the genus Coffea, especially C. arabica, widely cultivated in the tropics for their seeds that are dried, roasted, and ground to prepare a stimulating aromatic drink.
b. The beanlike seeds of this plant, enclosed within a pulpy fruit.
c. The beverage prepared from the seeds of this plant.
2. A moderate brown to dark brown or dark grayish brown.
3. An informal social gathering at which coffee and other refreshments are served.

So tons of people wake up in the morning to the beverage prepared from the seeds of any of various tropical African shrubs or trees of the genus Coffea. We buy the seeds that have been roasted, grind them up, run boiling water through them and drink it with sugar and cream. We say we are grouchy without our morning coffee. Some people go so far as to say they are not morning people. Some people will pay four bucks for someone else to prepare their morning coffee. All because of the beanlike seeds of a pulpy fruit from a tropical African shrub?
