map of countries that use Fahrenheit (orange) and Celsius (blue)
That’s the full list of countries that still measure temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. It presents yet another shameful world map that shows the U.S. as the retrograde outlier it is, a la “nations that provide no paid maternity leave” or “nations that execute juvenile offenders”, for the rest of the world has adopted metric temperature, aka Celsius, wherein 0 degrees is the freezing point of water and 100 degrees is the boiling point.
And for granular-minded bean-brew snobs, 100 minus 15 on the Celsius scale equals the ideal temperature for that hot brown liquid we know and love: coffee.
And that’s the origin of the name of a coffee-and-bakery chain founded in Taipei, Taiwan in 2004. On the strengths of its high-quality baked goods and signature espresso drinks/milk teas, the franchise soon expanded to Hong Kong, mainland China, and Australia, and has since reached a Starbucks-esque critical mass in the People’s Republic. In 2013, the chain expanded to the US, though stateside, many of its beloved artisanal sweet treats are baked at a central facility and then trucked to stores. Today, the eatery has nearly 1,000 restaurants worldwide, although at the sixty American outposts, the coffee-calefaction company’s Celsius-centric brand name requires a bit more explanation.
