My Chicago O'Hare Airport one shot coffee experience


I will always remember this coffee experience in Chicago O'Hare airport. It was an experience worth sharing. I reached airport late in the morning and my hotel check in time was at 3 pm so I have to kill sometime in the airport and it was not boring at all. Seeing different people from all parts of the world made my thoughts started wondering as usual....... "What would happened if we have only one country and one religion. Then we don't have to go through immigration check, no questioning, no deportation, there won't be any word called developed and developing countries, no rush in trying to enter rich countries like USA, no hatred between people due to difference in religious beliefs and no fanatics because nobody need to prove that their religion is the purest and best as everybody follow the same religion". But I have to clear one thing here. The kind of religion I am talking about here should give no restriction to women.

But after sometime my thoughts became blurred, that was when I realized my eyelids started dropping and I was like "why my eyes are not supporting my thought". I took me around 5 minutes to remember that I was not able to sleep very well the other day as I had an early flights. And I had to do something to keep my thoughts cleared as I haven't finished with my vision of merging this world into one country with one religion. So, I decided having I shot of coffee would be the best thing to do and that was what I got.

I first entered
Starbucks but didn't trust much of the espressos and cappuccinos there as they were never successful in keeping me awake in my college days, so there began my journey of searching for some authentic coffee store whose coffee would make me wide awake. After a futile search for around 10 minutes I came in front of a small store which said " Authentic coffee here". I was like "what is this? I have never seen such coffee store before" and the price was 1.99$. But I knew I have to try this. So I told the salesperson I wanted a tall one and he asked me " Is it one shot". I was embarrassed to ask what was one shot so I said yes. And he gave me a coffee paper cup which was filled only with one inch of black coffee i.e. 12 ounce. I was about to ask "that's it" but thank God I didn't. I took one sip and I realized what he meant by one shot. I always love strong coffee but I have never had such strong and bitter coffee before in my life. And in no minute time I was wide awake and never felt that fresh before. At that moment I realized why they put authentic in front of their coffee name. It really suits their name. And I was able to concentrate fully on my vision of making this world a better place to live.

That was the best and the most bitter coffee I have ever had in my life and I rate it as my first real coffee experience or you can say authentic. I will always remember that taste and also Chicago O'Hare whenever I have coffee in future anywhere. And also if I ever get a chance to cross American Airway concourse on Chicago O' Hare Airport again I will be going directly to this shop to have their one shot authentic coffee. That is something I will definitely do.
