Why it is so popular?
It keeps you awake, it tastes good and generally it is a drink that is very easy to like. Unlike wine where one has to slowly appreciate the beauty of it, coffee taste would draw anyone to like it with the first taste. And that is the reason why coffee makers are so popular. They are the machine that gives you the coffee drink. If not, no matter how good that coffee is, it would just be some very good beans or coffee grounds. It is only with the brewer or coffee maker can the ground be facilitated into the popular coffee drink.
