Coffee shop opening guide (1) the history of coffee

The earliest cafes were called Kaveh Kanes and were built in Mecca. Although originally intended for a religious purpose, these places soon became meeting and gathering centers for chess, small talk, singing, dancing, and music. Since then, from Mecca, cafes have spread to cities such as Aden, Medina and Cairo.

Today's cafes, also known as coffee houses, coffee shops or coffee bars, are places where people gather for leisure and business exchanges.

The word "coffee" comes from the Greek word "Kaweh", which means "strength and passion". Coffee drinking is not only a pastime, its rich cultural connotation is a pursuit of an ideal lifestyle. When it comes to coffee, I have to mention the coffee complex of European men. Men love coffee because it has a man-like strong and gentle dignified temperament. Men once loved coffee and ignored the women around them, leading to a collective petition by English women in the 17th century to declare war on coffee.

Some say the world's first café was in Damascus, others say Venice, and still others say Paris. In any case, it is European men who have given coffee a very strong vitality, and the culture of coffee can also be said to be the culture of European men.

A Viennese artist said: "I am not at home, I am at the cafe, not at the cafe, on the way to the cafe."

There is a famous Italian saying: "Men should be like good coffee, strong and full of enthusiasm!" In Italy, coffee and men are actually two things. English name for espresso Italian coffee, pure black color, strong and fragrant, floating on the surface of a layer of golden foam. A small cup of Italian coffee is only 50 ml, thick and hot, and it is unforgettable to drink.

In France, no coffee is equivalent to losing the color of life, and the French nation has elevated coffee culture to this almost refined state. The French coffee craze was best illustrated by the fact that during the Gulf War in 1991, the French snapped up large quantities of coffee and sugar instead of commodities from supermarkets. French people who are naturally romantic and affectionate drink coffee not the quality and taste of coffee itself, but the environment and atmosphere of drinking coffee, which is an elegant charm, a romantic atmosphere, and a comfortable feeling of enjoying life.
