Almost everyone loves coffee. It helps us get going in the morning when we do not feel like getting out of bed. In fact, I am sitting at my desk sipping on a cup to help me wake up and write this article about coffee. Some days I wonder how I would get through the day without my fix of caffeine. As an added bonus, a quality cup of coffee tastes amazing. It is a drink that tastes great and gives you energy; what more could you ask for?

Of course, if you want to expand your coffee enjoying experience, there are plenty of cool coffee apps for iPhone. There are apps to help you make coffee, find places to buy coffee and even create beautiful works of art about coffee.

This is an awesome app for making your ordering process go a little quicker at Starbucks or many other coffee shops. It allows you to build your drink in the application and then simply show it to the barista.

The pro version provides a visual editor that is not in the free version.

It does not have any fancy bells and whistles, but when you are simply looking for a delicious hot drink, it gets the job done very effectively.

Personally, I am a Dunkin Donuts fan, and it had no problem finding all the Dunkin Donuts in my area.
