Want some coffee with your water?

Now I have a whole new reason for the landscape of my mind to be ravaged by battles over the choice of green tea and coffee: Thanks to Peter Gordon, I've just learned the Economist posted an item Feb. 25 showing it takes nearly 10 times as much water to brew a cup of coffee as it does a cup of tea, including the water used in farming, packaging and other processes. The data is pretty amazing, and shows just how much water we require for so many other products as well.
