With coffee prices on the rise, it’s no wonder that Americans are turning to cheaper brands to satisfy their morning buzz.

If we were stranded on a desert island, we know we’d survive as long as we had coffee. Sure, a tent and some water filtration would be helpful, but coffee is a must.

Whether we’re sipping a fresh cup in the office to get our brains working or enjoying it with a slice of cheesecake as the day winds down, coffee is an integral part of our day.

And while there is a much more complicated process going on in your brain, the simple explanation seems to be: coffee makes us happy.
