Today coffee is cultivated in some eighty countries in South and Central America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia, generally in areas lying between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The two biggest producers by far are Brazil and Colombia, followed by Indonesia, Vietnam and Mexico.“

History of Coffee from Coffee Universe
„Coffee berries were transported from Ethiopia to the Arabian peninsula, and were first cultivated in what today is the country of Yemen. From there, coffee traveled to Turkey where coffee beans were roasted for the first time over open fires. The roasted beans were crushed, and then boiled in water, creating a crude version of the beverage we enjoy today. Coffee first arrived on the European continent by means of Venetian trade merchants.“

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Machines and Grinders, One Geek's gripes about Starbucks
„I am a great fan of cafe culture and have been in my fair share of coffee houses and bars throughout Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and South America. As Dave says, there isn't a lot of consistency to be found and I think a lot has to do with the varying skills of the baristas that are manning the machines as well as the dreck that is supplied by most large scale commercial roasters. The owners are out to make a buck and one way is to keep the cost of supplies low.“
