About Coffee
Coffee! Coffee! Coffee! I love coffee! What else needs to be said? Actually, quite a bit, the history of coffee goes back thousands of years.
Coffee is loved and consumed around the world every minute of the day. Americans consume around 400 million cups per year. In the United States, coffee imports are estimated to reach $4 Billion per year. Coffee ingestion on average is about a third that of tap water in most of North America and Europe. In total, 6.7 million metric tons of coffee were produced annually in 1998–2000, and the forecast is a rise to 7 million metric tons annually by 2010. (Source: coffeefacts.com)
Coffee was discovered by goats. In the Ethiopian province of Kaffa, during the 9th century, a shepherd noticed that his goats were dancing merrily about after consuming the coffee berries in a pasture. Coffee then made its way to Egypt, Yemen and later Persia, Turkey and northern Africa by the 15th century. By the mid 1600’s coffee was being enjoyed throughout Europe.
The origin of the word coffee is said to have come from the Arabic word qahwah. Then around the 1600’s the Italian term caffe came from the Turkish word kahveh which came from qahwah. Other researchers believe the term coffee came directly from the Ethiopian province of Kaffa.
Today you can find a coffee shop on just about every corner in a busy city, whether it's a Starbucks or a Dunkin Donuts. You can also find a coffee pot or coffee maker in just about every home in America. Coffee is almost as essential as water in the daily lives of many people. It is also believed to have some medical benefits as an antioxidant, relief for asthma sufferers and may even aid in reducing kidney stones. So drink up and enjoy!
Some interesting coffee facts:
Coffee grows on trees that can reach 30 feet tall and the coffee bean is the seed inside the berries.
Coffee is the second most traded commodity on Earth next to Oil.
The Americano comes from WWII when American GI’s asked for water to be added to their espresso because it was too strong.
The phrase cup of joe comes from this same period as American GI’s or GI Joe’s were seen as big coffee drinkers.
In 1675 coffee houses were banned in England because the King believed that they were a place for people to plot against him.
Hawaii is the only state in the US that grows coffee.
