Everyone has questions about coffee. Here are some of the most common:
How were coffee beans discovered?
The most told legend goes that Kaldi, a goat herder, was seeking his flock and found them dancing wildly. The goats were eating a plant’s leave and berries, and Kaldi ate some, and soon felt a surge of energy. A monk noticed this energy, and asked Kaldi about it, who related to the monk what he discovered. The monk picked the plants and brought them back to his monetary, where they were used to keep the monks awake for late night prayer and study.
How coffee beans were actually discovered is unknown, but they originated in the Ethiopia
Where did “cup of joe” come from?
It’s been said the term was named from Admiral Josephus Daniels, who was appointed as Secretary of the Navy by President Woodrow Wilson. Daniels introduced a number of reforms, including banning alcohol on ships. Sailors were left with coffee, which became known as “joe” in “honor” of the secretary.
Other theories:
- “Joe” is a shortening of “jamoke,” a combination of java and mocha.
- “Joe” is a common man’s name, and coffee is the common man’s drink.
Why does coffee come in a can?
The process began in the 1870s, and since air was not purged before sealing, the products were fresher. The process, with vacuum packing tinned, became common place in the 1900s.
What’s the best way to keep coffee hot?
The best way is to brew a fresh batch each time you want a cup. For shorter time periods, use an insulated thermos.
Why does coffee has a bitter taste?
Good quality beans will have a little bitterness, but it should balance with other aspects. If the coffee sat for too long on a warmer, then it’s been ill-prepared and will be bitter.
