Most people today cannot even consider starting their day without a cup of coffee. It’s become a staple in everyone’s daily life from their morning kick-start fuel to simple date plans. Coffee’s origins are widely debated, as some claim it originated from Ethiopia by way of an observant goatherd while others claim it came to from the Arabian peninsula. Presently, coffee is mass produced in over 70 countries, the largest being Brazil. These places grow the coffee plant, whose berries yield beans which are then roasted. The two most commonly used beans include C. arabica and C. robusta. The active ingredient of this delectable drink is caffeine, which has numerous health benefits when a moderate amount (3-4 cups) is consumed daily. These include a decrease in mortality, lower risk of heart disease, lower risk of Parkinson’s disease and type two diabetes. Brewing coffee has become an art form with many cafes specializing in it to provide the perfect coffee experience.
