A WELCOME DIVERSION: LET'S TALK COFFEE
I'm one of those oddities: a person who does not drink coffee. More particularly, I am a person for whom the smell of coffee does nothing for me— and the taste isn't my favorite thing either.
However, the irony is that I love preparing it and am a pretty good barista, and know lots of things such as how roasting affects caffeine content and how to brew the coffee so it tastes better. (Hint: in some cities it's almost impossible to find a good cup of coffee, and in those cases you can blame the municipal water supply. Use bottled water in those cities!)
There's some coffee growers in Central America who are experimenting with making candy from the berry (not the central bean.) Some friends of mine tried a sample and said it was weirdly reminiscent of coffee without tasting anything like the beverage.
