Coffee dissemination chronology

Arab (eleventh century) → Egypt, Syria (13th century) → Damascus (16th century) → Europe (17th century)

The earliest people who planned to grow and eat coffee were Arabs.

At the beginning of the eleventh century, people in the Arab region boiled coffee into soup or dried it and then boiled it as stomach medicine. Because Muslim precepts are strict and alcohol is forbidden, Muslims use baked juice instead of alcohol as an exciting drink. The local people knew how to bake raw beans for use after the 13th century. This drink, centered on Muslim shrines, was spread by Muslims and first from Arabia to Egypt. Coffee was widely and systematically cultivated by Arabs in the 12th and 13th centuries when it spread to Syria, Iran and Turkey. In the 16th century, the world's first coffee shop was born in Damascus in the Middle East (1530). Over the next few years, there were different numbers of coffee shops in more than 200 cities throughout the empire, and there were mobile coffee tents on wilderness roads to serve business travelers and the army. On the other hand, coffee was slowly introduced into Europe from Venice and the port of Marseilles in the name of Arabian wine and Turkish expedition to Austria. King Clement VIII of France at that time once said: "although it is the devil's drink, it is delicious." It is a pity that this kind of drink is only monopolized by pagans. "on the other hand, the custom of drinking coffee among Europeans was spread by Italian businessmen when they were doing business everywhere in the 17th century. The first coffee shop in Venice was Bottegadel Coffee.
