Virtual Coffee: Books (#)
„They are eager to learn about the goatherd Kaldi, the legendary discoverer of coffee, or about the enthusiasm and alarm that met the bean as it spread throughout the Old World. More recent history--such as the development of instant and decaffeinated coffees, as well as the role that coffee served as part of the bulwark of America's Cold-War policy towards Latin America--is equally appealing. And learning about modern debates over cultivation methods and marketing approaches enables drinkers to feel that they are participating in this history, not just enjoying a cup of Joe. All of this adds to the experience of drinking a fine coffee well-prepared.“

„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.“

„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.“

History of Coffee from Coffee Universe
„Coffee was first discovered in Eastern Africa in an area we know today as Ethiopia. A popular legend refers to a goat herder by the name of Kaldi, who observed his goats acting unusually frisky after eating berries from a bush. Curious about this phenomena, Kaldi tried eating the berries himself. He found that these berries gave him a renewed energy.“

„"Most coffee companies buy coffee in two ton lots," says CEO Andrea Illy. "But people drink coffee in 7 gram increments-that's about 50 beans. That is why our control system is down to the single bean.“
