Fun FAQs
Who first invented coffee?
Ahmed al-Ghaffar

What is the origin of coffee?
The original domesticated coffee plant is said to have been from Harar, and the native population is thought to be derived from Ethiopia with distinct nearby populations in Sudan and Kenya. Coffee was primarily consumed in the Islamic world where it originated and was directly related to religious practices.
How and where was coffee discovered?
The most popular story told is of a goat herder named Kaldi who went looking for his flock and found them dancing wildly. He soon discovered that they were eating the leaves and berries of a certain plant. When he tried some of the berries, he quickly felt energized. Soon, a monk noticed Kaldi’s vigor, and he asked the goatherd how that came to be; Kaldi told him about the plant, and the monk picked the berries and brought them back to the monastery, where the monks used them to stay awake for late night prayer and study. Unfortunately, this story is almost certainly simply a legend, and the true story of how the effects of the coffee bean were discovered is lost to history. What is not in dispute is that coffee originated in the highlands of Ethiopia.
Originally, the beans were not roasted and brewed; one of the first coffee drinks was, ironically, a tea (or, more properly, an infusion) brewed from the leaves and cherries. As with most human endeavors, an alcoholic
beverage (a wine made from the fermented pulp) was also also made. It wasn’t until about five hundred years ago that someone, whose name has also been lost to history, first roasted the beans and before brewing them.
From these origins, coffee has become the second largest commodity, after oil. Coffee grows on one percent of the world’s land, eleven million hectares.

Not only can your daily cup of joe help you feel more energized, burn fat and improve physical performance, it may also lower your risk of several conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. In fact, coffee may even boost longevity.
Where did the term ``cup of joe`` come from?
The most popular explanation is that it was named for Admiral Josephus “Joe” Daniels (1862-1948), appointed Secretary of the Navy by President Woodrow Wilson. Admiral Daniels embarked on a series of reforms, such as the introduction of women into the service and effectively banning alcohol on board ships, including the officer’s wine mess. This mainly left the sailors with coffee, which became referred to rather derisively as Joe, after the Secretary. This is by no means definitive; the Oxford English Dictionary places the origin of the term “joe,” as it pertains to coffee, as “unknown.”
When did companies start to sell coffee in cans?
The process is traceable to Chase & Sanborn in 1878; however, air was not purged from the tins before sealing, and so the product was little fresher than other coffees. Originally sold as “Seal Brand Mocha & Java,” Chase & Sanborn dropped the Mocha & Java appellation; the product contained little of those famous coffees, and, in light of government lawsuits against other manufacturers accused of misrepresentation, Caleb Case and James Sanborn had become worried that they might similarly be charged.
In July of 1900, Hills Brothers became the first company to use a process for vacuum packing tinned coffee, licensing the just-patented process from Norton Brothers, a packaging manufacturer.

Bach wrote a song about coffee
Circa 1732, Johann Sebastian Bach penned “Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht,” also known as the “Coffee Cantata.” In the song, a father- daughter duo argues about how she drinks too much coffee and that’s why she doesn’t have a lover. Alas, if she gave it up she’d “become so upset that I would be like a dried-up piece of roast goat.” Yikes. When her father gives her an ultimatum, she lies to please him. While he’s out finding her a husband, she secretly tells potential suitors they must let her drink coffee if they want to marry her. At the time, coffee was villainized just as much as many illegal drugs today. But Bach loved the drink so much that he was willing to explore an entirely new genre–humor–and begin protesting through his music.
