Another reason is the large number of coffee houses, delis, coffee bars and restaurants serving up this hot treat. Chicago lovers have countless options as they breeze through the Windy City.

Sometimes you see people rushing with a huge vat of java. Other connoisseurs recognize a smaller cup tastes best with a rich, hot intensity of flavor. Seasoned commuters carry theirs in a special mug with a sealed lid and thermal interior to keep their precious brew fresh. Other folks tote signature paper cups from prestigious local coffee houses or a mass merchant on their daily route.

The finest houses are always packed during the early morning hours as the working public grabs their cup of sustenance. Gourmet java has become increasingly popular since the 1990s, with some people leaving a half hour earlier in the morning so they have enough time to stop for it. Enthusiasts with a flexible schedule often wait until after 10 AM so they miss the rush.

Often connoisseurs choose to get their favorite beverage at coffee houses because they have a passion for a specialty brew. Environmentalists want the best organic blens. Mocha latte is irresistible if you have a sweet tooth. There are also people who simply prefer the presentation at specialty shops.

When you get comfortable at your favorite coffee house, you will start to ask more questions. There are so many different options to choose from. How coffee is grown, harvested and roasted determines its flavor and subtle nuances. When you find your preferred blend, buy it to take home and share with others.
