Its all about the coffee

A person would have to drink more than 12 cups of hot cocoa to equal the amount of caffeine found in one cup of coffee. Coffee is the second most traded product in the world after petroleum. World wide coffee production tips the scales at about 6 million metric tonnes.Coffee beans were chewed for more than 400 years before the first cup of coffee was brewed.The percolator was invented in 1827 by a French man. It would boil the coffee producing a bitter tasting brew. Today most people use the drip or filtered method to brew their coffee.

Coffee has about five times the amount of caffeine as a can of Coke.
Decaffeinated coffee is not 100% caffeine free. When coffee is being decaffeinated, 2% of the caffeine still remains in it.


Over the course of one year, a coffee tree only produces about 1.5 pounds of coffee.
Seniors who drink a cup of coffee before a memory test score higher than those who drink a cup of decaffeinated coffee.

Germany is the world's second largest consumer of coffee in terms of volume at 16 pounds per person. October 1st is the official Coffee Day in Japan. The rarest coffee in the world is Kopi Luwak, which is found in Indonesia. It cost about $300 a pound.
Each year some 7 million tons of green beans are produced world wide. Most of which is hand picked.
The priests believed that the coffee was the drink of the devil. That Satan had invented the drink for the Moslem infidels as a substitute for the wine they were forbidden to drink. Since wine in the Western Christian world was sanctified by Christ and used in Holy communion, coffee must then be of the Anti-Christ. If a Christian drank this devil brew they would risk eternal damnation is how the argument went.
The English word "Coffee" comes from the Latin name of the genus Coffea. The genus Coffea is a member of the Rubiaceae family which has over 500 genera and 6,000 species that are largely tropical trees and shrubs.
