North America

North American coffee culture has a long and rich history, with the first coffee beans being introduced to the continent by European colonists in the 17th century. Since then, coffee has become a staple beverage in North America, with millions of people starting their day with a cup of coffee.

There are a variety of coffee roasters and coffee shops in North America, ranging from small, independent coffee shops to large, national chains. Some of the most popular coffee chains in North America include Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, and Tim Horton's. These chains offer a wide range of coffee drinks, including lattes, cappuccinos, and espresso, as well as other beverages such as teas and smoothies.

In recent years, there has been a trend towards specialty coffee in North America, with an emphasis on high-quality, single origin beans and artisanal brewing methods. This trend has led to the growth of small, independent coffee roasters and coffee shops that offer a more personalised and artisanal experience for their customers.

Although Cuba is technically a part of the North American continent, there are parts of the area we think of as North America that are referred to by other names, like Central America, Latin America, and the Caribbean. For instance, Mexico belongs geographically to North-America, ethnological it belongs to Latin America. Mexico is the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world. About 70% of the people live in urban areas.
