fter water, coffee is probably the most popular drink in the world. Coffee has many positive
properties that are good for your health. Drinking coffee can help reduce the chances of
getting some cancers, stomach and neurological diseases, type 2 diabetes, and even heart
disease.
Coffee has had a long and interesting history on its road to becoming the much-loved drink
that it is today. The coffee bush was first discovered in Africa in the 9 th century. The coffee
berries that grow on the bushes contain coffee beans which can be made into a drink. The
recipe for this drink was passed from Africa to the Middle East, to Europe, and then to the
Americas.
Even though the drink we know as coffee is well known all around the world, most countries
have their own special way of making it. ‘Cowboy coffee’ is made in Finland and Norway by
mixing coffee and boiling water together in a kettle and pouring out the liquid into a cup
without the grounds. Turkish coffee is made by mixing very finely ground coffee and sugar in
a small pot with a long handle called an ibrik. The ibrik is held over a fire and then removed
when the coffee comes to the boil. The mixture is poured into a small ceramic cup and drunk
slowly, leaving the grounds at the bottom. Italians typically drink small cups of espresso
every day and usually don't even sit down when they order it; they drink it and leave. Many
people in the U.S. have an electric coffeemaker which uses a filter to separate the water
from the coffee. Hot water drips through the grounds and comes out as the drink they know
and love. There is even a way to make coffee using a roasted coconut and the milk inside it!
Whichever way you prefer your daily cup of coffee, there's no doubt about it, coffee is
something the whole world loves!
