Coffee is a drink made by brewing roasted and ground coffee beans in hot water. It is known for its strong flavor and caffeine, which can help people feel more awake.
“Coffee” comes from Turkish “kahve,” from Arabic “qahwa,” originally a word related to wine or a stimulating drink. The plant itself is native to East Africa, and the word traveled with the drink through the Middle East into Europe.
The word for coffee traveled almost the same route as the drink itself, from Ethiopia and Yemen through Ottoman lands into Europe. Long before cafés became social hubs, coffee was treated almost like a medicinal or even mystical substance.
