    • Arts

Talk to anyone in coffee about what drew them to, or kept them in, the coffee business, and they’ll all give you one big reason: the people.

The coffee world’s tight-knit global community of geeky, gregarious, and pleasure-minded people tends to create an infectious enthusiasm, and as specialty coffee has grown in popularity, it’s made a coffee lover’s world feel all the more welcoming.

Written by Liz Clayton, a coffee writer and photographer based in Brooklyn, New York. Read by Sabine Parrish, staff writer at Standart.
