1#Legend has it that 9th century goat herders noticed the effect caffeine had on their goats, who appeared to "dance" after
eating coffee berries. A local monk then made a drink with coffee berries and found that it kept him awake at night, thus the
original cup of coffee was born. (discovered in Ethiopia circa 800 A.D.)
2# In Italian espresso means "when something is forced out."
This refers to the way espresso is made — forcing boiling water through pressed coffee grounds. And, although espresso has
more caffeine per volume than coffee, because it's consumed in smaller quantities, it actually has about a third of the
amount of caffeine as a regular cup of coffee.
3#Coffee is actually a fruit.
Coffee beans as we know them are actually the pits of a cherry-like berry that are grown on bushes. Even though coffee is
actually a seed, it's called a bean because of its resemblance to actual beans.
4#You can overdose on coffee.
However, you would need to drink over 100 cups to consume the lethal dose of caffeine.
5# The largest cup of coffee ever was brewed in July 2014 in South Korea.
It was over 3,700 gallons. The largest iced coffee was brewed in Las Vegas in 2010, and was 1,500 gallons — ice not included.
6#Decaf does not mean caffeine-free.
An eight ounce brewed cup of decaf coffee actually has two-to-12 milligrams of caffeine. In comparison, a regular cup of
coffee has anywhere from 95 to 200 milligrams. (Twelve ounces of coke only has 23-35 milligrams of caffeine.)
7#The original definition of coffee means "wine."
Coffee's original name, qahwah, came from the Yemen term for wine. In Turkey it was called kahveh, until the Dutch referred
to it as koffie, where we get the English coffee.
