Three waves in the history of coffee

The first coffee wave: In the 1930s and 1940s, the U.S. military brought coffee to all parts of the world as a necessity to prevent fatigue during combat, and the bitter taste of coffee served as a refreshing effect. Then came the invention and rise of instant coffee.

Second coffee wave: after world war ii, italy's steam-pressurized espresso method became familiar and accepted, and espresso coffee based on espresso was recognized and promoted. At that time, the quality of coffee was mixed, and deep roasting was generally adopted, paying attention to the caramel feeling and mellow degree brought by roasting. Then Starbucks and other chain coffee shops appeared and became popular.

The third coffee wave: Around 2000, a wave of specialty coffee began to emerge. Emphasizing the regional taste of coffee, the coffee produced in each region tastes different, so fine coffee plantations begin to appear, no longer have defective beans, advocate light roasting, highlight the personality of coffee itself.
