At first, coffee was expensive in Europe. Only aristocrats could drink coffee, and coffee was even called "black gold". Until 1690, a Dutch captain sailed to Yemen and got some coffee seedlings, which were successfully planted in Indonesia. In 1727, the wife of a diplomat in Dutch Guiana gave some coffee seeds to a Spaniard in Brazil, where he planted them with good results. The climate in Brazil is very suitable for coffee growth, and coffee has spread rapidly in South America since then. Coffee, whose price fell due to mass production, began to become an important drink for Europeans. In the 17th century, the cultivation and production of coffee was monopolized by Arabs. At that time, it was mainly used in medicine and religion, and doctors and monks admitted that coffee had the effects of refreshing, awakening, strengthening the stomach, strengthening the body and stopping bleeding. The use of coffee was documented at the beginning of the 15th century and was integrated into religious ceremonies during this period. At the same time, it also appeared in the folk as a daily drink. Because drinking was strictly forbidden in Islam, coffee became a very important social drink at that time.

The word "coffee" comes from the Greek word "Kaweh", which means "strength and passion". Coffee tree is a small evergreen tree of Rubiaceae. Coffee for daily consumption is made from coffee beans combined with various cooking utensils, and coffee beans refer to the nuts in the fruit of coffee trees, which are then roasted by appropriate roasting methods. All over the world, people like drinking coffee more and more. The "coffee culture" that follows is full of every moment of life. No matter at home, in the office, or on various social occasions, people are tasting coffee, which is gradually associated with fashion and modern life.
