Let’s test your coffee knowledge, or better yet, let’s test your ability to match ‘famous people’ with their respective coffee related quotes.  Read through the quotes, select your answers from the list below, and then check the answer section (located at the bottom of the page).  No cheating! See how you rank on the coffee trivia scale!
