Coffee is one of the most popular beverages worldwide. Coffee is a beverage derived from roasted coffee beans and then smoothed into powder. Currently coffee becomes one of the commodities traded between countries.

There are two varieties or types of coffee that are world famous in the Coffee Robusta ( Coffea Canephore ) and Arabica Coffee ( Coffea Arabica ). But do you know who the inventor of Coffee? How is it found? and How History of Coffee itself up to now?

If we talk about the history of the coffee beans and who the first coffee inventors then many stories say that Coffee was first discovered in the highlands of Ethiopia region thousands of years ago.

People say that the first inventor of coffee was a goat and its herd named Kaldi. He is estimated to live around 800 BC

Kaldi realized the potential of coffee after seeing her goats eat berry berries and the result was very active as being drunk and not sleeping at night. He then tried to make a drink mixed with the coffee fruit the result makes him become cheerful, active and awake at night.

Kaldi findings about the coffee fruit he reported to the pastors in his village. But the priests did not believe what Kaldi said and threw the 'magic' fruit into the fire.

The aroma that comes from the coffee bean makes the priests interested. They then took the fruit from the fire and peeled the fruit after it soaked it in hot water to keep it fresh.

The priests smell the scent from the coffee trying to drink it. They then begin to feel the effects that keep them awake during religious practice so as to judge the new drink is very beneficial. Famous coffee has a high caffeine content.

In general, many consider that the story is just a bird story. Many opinions believe that coffee was first developed in ethopia around the 9th century.


Coffee beans are then taken to the Arabian peninsula precisely in Yemen to be developed around the 15th century. This is where coffee began to spread to Europe in Turkey. People say that people used to chew coffee beans to produce stimulant effects from the coffee.

But in Turkey is the process of processing coffee beans correctly first discovered. It starts with roasting the coffee beans over the fire then smoothing them through the milling process and brewing them with water.

Coffee drinks then began to popular in the 15th century. But at that time also appeared a ban on drinking coffee issued by religious authorities like in Arabs because of the effects of coffee. In Cairo, Egypt also happened the same thing.

But the ban was lifted on the orders of Sultan Selim I of the Ustmaniyah sultanate. But in the 16th century, the Ustmaniyah Sultanate re-prohibited coffee and punished those who opened coffee shops.

Coffee began to enter Europe in the 16th century through trade routes in Italy, France, Holland and England. But the rejection was first obtained from the authority of the Catholic church in Europe. They consider that coffee drinks are a 'satanic drink' because of the stimulant effect it produces.

Nevertheless, the Pope as the supreme leader of the Catholic is not at issue. Scholars have even considered that coffee drinks can increase or increase their mindset so coffee becomes popular there, making the export value of coffee from Yemen soaring.

Coffee began to be known in America in the 17th century. It was brought by a French Infantry Captain on his way across the Atlantic Ocean. Coffee plants then began spreading rapidly to Central and South America especially Brazilia.

Since then coffee began to spread around the world and became a major commodity in world trade. The world's best coffee producers come from Central and South America and from Africa, such as Ethopia, where coffee was first discovered.

Since coffee has been discovered in Ethopia to this day it is very much. But the most famous is Robusta and Arabica coffee. There is also the most expensive type of coffee in the world that is the type of Luwak coffee originating from Indonesia. Civet Coffee is a unique type of coffee produced from civet animals that eat coffee beans.
