A few words about the history of coffee.By @mim123

The history of coffee is filled with anecdotes, but none of them are supported by evidence. A well-known legend is that the first person to see the coffee plant and his goats eating it was an Ethiopian shepherd named Kaldi in the ninth century. Until 1671, this legend was not present. The story was first written by a Maronite Roman professor of Oriental languages who wrote one of the first printed treatises on coffee in 1671. It is claimed that the story is unimportant. Another report claims that Sheikh Omar was the inventor of coffee. Omar, exiled from Mokha, discovers a fruit while famished. After trying to consume and prepare them, Omar produced a liquid.
The seeds of the coffee plant's fruit are separated to create green coffee beans. The seeds are roasted and powdered after being pulverized. After that, hot water is used to filter a cup of coffee. Although iced or cold coffee is widely accessible, coffee is typically served hot. There are numerous ways to make and help coffee, including espresso, French press, cafe latte, and pre-made canned coffee. To lessen or intensify the bitterness of coffee, people frequently add milk, cream, sugar, and artificial sweeteners.
Historical change's impacts
Despite the obscurity surrounding the drink's origin, Ahmed al-Ghaffar of Yemen's claims from the middle of the 15th century are supported by substantial evidence that he knew the glass or the coffee plant. Yemen may have been the first location where coffee beans were likely roasted to make modern coffee. Sufis used coffee's caffeine to stay awake while performing their holy rites. Before the coffee plant was introduced to Yemen, there were various theories regarding its origin. Ethiopian coffee arrived in Yemen through trade over the Red Sea. According to one tradition, Muhammad ibn Sa'd is credited with bringing coffee to Aden from the African coast. Other historical legends assert that Ali bin Omar, a Sufi of the Shadili school, was the first to introduce coffee to Arabia. Al Shardi hypothesizes that Ali bin Omar may have first encountered coffee during his stay with Adal Raja Saddin's colleagues in 1401.
According to texts by Islamic scholar Ibn Hajar al-Haytami from the 16th century, the kawa beverage is made from a tree in the Zeila region of Africa. Somali traders from Barbera and Zeila supplied Yemen with Ethiopian coffee in present-day Somaliland first. The coffee beans used to make this came from Harar's interior and Ethiopia. Before the 19th century, when British-run Aden took over control of the Mocha coffee trade, Captain Haynes, the colonial administrator of Aden (1839–1854), said that the Mocha historically imported up to two-thirds of their coffee from merchants in Berbera. After that, the Berbera technique exported most Ethiopian coffee to Aden. The sale of coffee is advertised on a handbill from 1652 that can be seen at St. Michael's Alley in London.
By the 16th century, coffee had reached North Africa, Persia, Turkey, and the rest of the Middle East. Sufi Baba Budan had transported coffee seeds from Yemen to India for the first time outside of the Middle East. However, before this, every exported coffee was boiled or sterilized. Baba Budan is shown smuggling seven coffee beans on his chest. The first trees produced from illegally exported seeds were planted in Mysore. In 1600, coffee had already made its way to Italy before spreading to the rest of Europe, Indonesia, and the Americas. Every year, on September 29, Americans celebrate National Coffee Day.
