„It may well be the mainstay of Brazil’s economy but coffee originated in Ethiopia. According to a Muslim legend, a goatherd called Kaldi noticed that some of his goats were rather frisky after nibbling the berries from a certain tree. After trying them himself, Kaldi felt pretty perky too.“

„Stewart Lee Allen begins with coffee's obscure beginnings as an Ethiopian religious drug. The legend goes, "an Ethiopian goatherd named Kaldi one day noticed his best goat dancing about and baaing like a maniac," and the goatherd noticed the berries the goat had eaten, ate them himself, discovered coffee, and forever altered history. This goatherd's bean gradually stimulated history through the industrial revolution and spread of capitalism through the institutions of coffeehouses. Some of the world oldest and most powerful business, such as the East India Company and Wall Street, began as coffeehouses.“
