    请阅读下面的英语短文：

    Cafe, caffeine, java—no matter what you call it, coffee is one of those beverages on par with whiskey, wine and beer. You can have pointless arguments about how bean terroir and roasting techniques affect coffee’s flavor. Brewing a pot of coffee requires somewhat complicated machinery. There exists a rigid class system within the world of coffee consumers: instant vs. beans, those that do the ‘bucks and those that don’t, cream and sugar vs. black, for pleasure or for energy—and a hundred other comparisons. Finally, coffee could be considered a mind-altering substance, if consumed in proper quantities. All of these inherent qualities of the java bean have endeared it to our collective consciousness—or unconsciousness, depending on what time of day it is. Coffee drinkers of the world, unite!
