[12:04.55]The Coffee Culture in America
[12:07.53]In America, the number of specialty coffee shops has increased greatly over the years.
[12:14.80]It's hard to walk down a street without coming across a coffee shop.
[12:19.51]And chances are, that coffee shop might be a Starbucks.
[12:24.19]The Starbucks company has helped make coffee culture
[12:27.85]a popular part of people's daily lives.
[12:31.50]Its stores sell all kinds of coffee as well as food, music and books.
[12:37.70]But there is much more to making and enjoying coffee than Starbucks.
[12:42.17]In fact, there are many smaller, independent coffee shops.
[12:46.69]They usually have a strong and loyal following
[12:50.75]although large companies like Starbucks have made business difficult for them.
[12:55.68]There is a certain pride in the coffee industry
[12:58.58]among the smaller, more personal coffee sellers.
[13:02.28]What's more, a yearly competition is held for people who prepare coffee drinks.
[13:08.74]The competitors gather to make three coffee drinks,
[13:12.81]which are judged by coffee experts.
[13:15.82]The best of them then compete for the national award.
