Green coffee beans are whitish and even slightly bluish in color, and by roasting, the color becomes darker, brown to black. The length of brewing time also affects the taste and composition of coffee. If you want to extract all the caffeine, brew as long as possible and choose a darker roast.

According to legend, coffee was first discovered and processed in Africa around 800 AD. Kadi, an Ethiopian shepherd, was puzzled why his goats were suddenly in high spirits and kept him awake at night. He decided to find out. He discovered that goats ate red berries grown on trees and became energized. He took the berries to a local priest, who processed the first coffee, and after drinking it, they chanted all night and stopped sleeping.
