Coffee
Coffee is a beverage that can be consumed hot or cold. It is actually one of the most widely consumed drinks in the world and one of the most widely traded food crops.
The drink ‘coffee’ is made from coffee cherries which grow on trees in Latin America, Africa and Southern Asia. The cherries house the seeds which are known as coffee beans (although not actually true beans) and it is these beans that are roasted to create the drink. The degree to which the beans are roasted determines the taste of the end product. Different varieties of the evergreen coffee tree (Coffea) are grown and the most prized is Coffea arabica which is grown commercially. Coffea canephora (robusta) is also a widely grown variety and it is more able to fight off than the arabica.
The drink produced from the beans is dark brown and has an acidic flavour and a stimulating effect on the human body. This effect comes from the caffeine content and it is the caffeine that also gives the bitter taste. Caffeine is the plant’s natural defence against predators. Caffeine levels differ between the various coffee varieties. Arabica has far less than robusta. The compound was first extracted from coffee in 1820 by Friedlieb Runge.
People have drunk coffee for hundreds of years and the first country of origin was Ethiopia. The popularity of coffee spread from the Muslim countries to the rest of the world where people still love it.
Coffee is served in many different ways nowadays and milk and sugar are common additions. Café’s offer a sometimes bewildering selection from espresso, cappuccino, American and latte to decaf or iced coffee.
The most exclusive and pricey coffee is known as Kopi Luwak or Civet Poo Coffee. Civet cats are excellent at picking out the tastiest coffee cherries and the seeds contained in them pass through the animal unhurt. The excreted seeds are then collected and made into Kopi Luwak. Although some say it is the best coffee in the world, Kopi Luwak is marred in controversy because in many cases the civets are farmed and caged, and animal cruelty has been witnesses, making the product unethical for a lot of people.
There are so many ways you can get your coffee fix now, from roasting and grinding your own beans at home to paying a barrista at a café to make you an espresso. You can quickly make a cup of instant at home or get something from a coffee vending machine and with the improvements in vending machines now, you don’t have to compromise on taste.
For the millions of coffee fans out there, there really is something for everyone.
