For millions of Americans, and indeed for millions around the globe, there's nothing like a piping hot cup of coffee to help kick start the day. It's the beverage of choice for the hordes on Wall Street, many of whom rely on a strong cup of java to help propel them through a stressful trading day.
But Wall Street pros don't just relegate their relationship with coffee to what's inside their mugs.
For many professionals, as well as for many individual investors, coffee is more about buying and selling shares of the best coffee stocks out there.
