“Coffee and tea start off as simple beans or leaves, which must be dried or roasted, ground and infused with water to produce the end result.

And what is the proper ratio of water to leaves or coffee?” — Donald A. Norman

“They say football builds strong bodies, big muscles, rippling biceps. Not so. I watch it ten hours every weekend. Nothing!” — Robert Orben
