In discussing the research Dabadie said, "At its most basic level, coffee is 99 percent black water. Yet, it engenders passion and commitment to products, services, and brands. We are seeing the same trend of passion for tea and water. And this extends into the office where consumers want a better and deeper experience with their beverages, with their service providers, and with their colleagues," he concluded.
