Buying coffee

Drinking coffee

Coffee drinkers know how nice it is to get up early in the morning, go straight to the coffee machine and turn it on. Waking up as the fragrant aroma tickles your senses is the best start to the day. The cup of coffee is a standard part of daily life for many people. Most people drink this hot beverage regularly, albeit in varying amounts. After just one cup, you already feel more energetic and alert. Drinking coffee happens almost automatically, without really thinking about it. But where does this special drink actually come from and what different varieties are there?

A little coffee history

Coffee was originally discovered in Ethiopia, after which it spread throughout the Middle East. Stories are known about a farmer from the mountainous country of Ethiopia who saw his goats jumping around full of energy after eating from coffee berries. Another story tells of monks who disappointedly threw the rather bitter-tasting coffee beans into the fire, only to be surprised by the wonderful aroma released. So the idea of making an extract from the roasted beans was born, and this turned out not to be too difficult a task. However, some time passed before people actually started drinking coffee.

It is widely believed that the Arabs were the first to grow coffee plants. Traders saw the potential and soon coffee conquered most Islamic countries, despite secrecy and an export ban. The Netherlands also played a role in spreading coffee plants through Java in Indonesia, then a colony of the Netherlands. Eventually, France became a major coffee producer in Europe around 1715. Colonists and missionaries spread this uplifting drink to the rest of the world. Drinking coffee became more popular than consuming alcoholic beverages.

Arabica and Robusta coffee

Arabica is a common coffee variety known for its superior quality and flavour. The Arabica coffee bean is considered the most refined and flavourful bean among coffee varieties. Coffee made from Arabica beans typically has a milder and smoother flavour than coffee made from Robusta beans.

The Arabica plant thrives best in higher elevations with a temperate climate and fertile soil. These conditions help develop the complex flavours and aromas that Arabica is known for. Moreover, Arabica coffee contains less caffeine than Robusta coffee, making it a popular choice for people sensitive to the stimulating effects of caffeine.

The Arabica coffee bean is widely used in various coffee preparations, such as espresso, cappuccino and filter coffee. The beans are carefully roasted to achieve the desired flavour profiles. The flavour of Arabica coffee can range from sweet and fruity to nutty and chocolatey, depending on the origin and roasting process.

Coffee lovers often appreciate the refined nuances and complexity of Arabica coffee. Arabica's quality and character have contributed to its popularity around the world. Whether a morning ritual, a social gathering or just a moment of relaxation, Arabica coffee offers a flavourful experience for those who enjoy it.

There are studies that have shown that the cup of coffee fits into a healthy diet and can prolong life. But don't drink litres of it, because then the beneficial effect also disappears.
