Coffee has initially been a food – chewed, not sipped. Early African tribes consume coffee by grinding the berries together, adding some animal fat, and rolling the treats into tiny edible energy balls.

Etymology
Verb
segue (third-person singular simple present segues, present participle segueing, simple past and past participle segued)
To move smoothly from one state or subject to another.
Synonym: transition
(music) To make a smooth transition from one theme to another.
(of a disk jockey) To play a sequence of records with no talk between them.
Usage notes
In sense “move from one subject to another”, contrast with non sequitur (“abrupt transition”), which is etymologically opposite (“follow” vs. “does not follow”). However, segue has connotations of moving between distinct subjects, and thus to segue often means to change rather abruptly, with at best a pretense of smooth transition.
Noun
segue (plural segues)
An instance of segueing, a transition.
