Drinking Coffee

Coffee enthusiasts know the joy of rising early, heading straight to the coffee machine, and switching it on. Starting the day with the rich aroma gently awakening your senses is unbeatable. For many, a cup of coffee is an essential part of daily life, enjoyed in varying quantities. Just one cup can make you feel more energetic and alert. Drinking coffee often becomes second nature, almost an automatic ritual. But where does this exceptional drink originate, and what are its different varieties?

A Little Coffee History

Coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia and then spread throughout the Middle East. There's a well-known tale of a farmer in Ethiopia who noticed his goats were exceptionally energetic after eating coffee berries. Another story recounts monks tossing bitter coffee beans into the fire, only to be captivated by the delightful aroma that emerged. Thus, the idea of brewing an extract from roasted beans was born, although it took time before people began drinking coffee.

It is believed that the Arabs were the pioneers in cultivating coffee plants. Recognizing its potential, traders introduced coffee to most Islamic countries, despite efforts to keep it secret and an export ban. The Netherlands also played a part in spreading coffee plants via Java in Indonesia, then a Dutch colony. By 1715, France had emerged as a major coffee producer in Europe. Colonists and missionaries carried this invigorating drink worldwide, soon making coffee more popular than alcoholic beverages.

Arabica and Robusta Coffee

Arabica is a popular coffee variety renowned for its superior quality and distinctive flavour. It is considered the most refined and flavourful among coffee beans. Arabica coffee generally offers a milder, smoother taste compared to Robusta.

The Arabica plant flourishes at higher elevations with a mild climate and fertile soil, which helps develop its complex flavours and aromas. Arabica coffee contains less caffeine than Robusta, making it a preferred choice for those sensitive to caffeine's stimulating effects.

Arabica beans are widely used for various coffee preparations, including espresso, cappuccino, and filter coffee. These beans are expertly roasted to achieve desired flavour profiles, which can range from sweet and fruity to nutty and chocolatey, depending on their origin and roasting process.

Coffee lovers often relish the refined nuances and complexity of Arabica coffee. Its quality and character contribute to its global popularity, offering a delicious experience, whether as a morning ritual, social gathering, or a moment of relaxation.

Coffee: Healthy and Delicious

Coffee consumption varies from person to person. While one cup suffices for some, others may enjoy as many as a dozen daily. Studies suggest that moderate coffee consumption can be part of a healthy lifestyle and may even extend longevity. However, moderation is key, as excessive consumption negates its benefits. It's comforting to know that nature provides a plant that, in its pure form, yields beans that allow us coffee enthusiasts to enjoy a delicious aromatic cup of comfort. While the future of coffee remains uncertain, its outlook is promising.
