Well there are a lot of ways to invest in this coffee phenomena. Coffee itself, coffee roasters and distributors, coffee retailers and restaurants that just sell more coffee than can be imagined.
On thing is for certain: coffee sales will be larger next year than they are this year and sales will get bigger annually for at least 5 years out.
Who will profit by that? Hopefully you and me.
