1. Frist one concern well-known French writer Honore de Balzac. It is said that he consumed about 50 cup of coffee every day, when the lethal dose of coffee during a day is 100 cups. He drank it to obtain an inspiration for creating his novels.
2. The word coffee originates from the Arabic word ‘qahhwat al-bun’ which was then shortened to ‘qahwa’. The Turkish called it ‘kahve’ after which the Dutch made it ‘koffie’, until it was finally translated to ‘coffee’ in English.
3. I also found that in in ancient Arab culture a woman could only divorce her husband when he didn’t like coffee enough. Good reason!
4. There is an idea that coffee can actually be used to fuel a car. It’s any idea for distant future, but seriously, can you imagine fuel your car by coffee? And the smell of coffee emitted from cars around us.
5. I guess that everyone has already heard about this, but just to remind: the world’s expensive coffee is made from coffee beans eaten and excreted by a Sumatran wildcat. It coast over 300 pounds.
6. Have you ever wondered where the name “cappuccino” comes from? If not, I’ll tell you anyway. The word comes from the resemblance of the drink to the clothing of the Capuchin monks.
I guess that we can finish by these 6 facts. They may sound unbelievable, but who knows? Maybe there is a grain of truth in each of them.
