Interesting facts about coffee
Goats are the discoverers of coffee. There is a legend that back in the ninth century, a shepherd grazing goats noticed that the animals were eagerly eating berries from a rather strange bush. The result was that the animals were full of extraordinary energy and could stay awake even all night. Later, the man told the monks about this situation and offered to brew a berry drink that would allow them to stay awake during prayer.
Most coffee is drunk in Scandinavia. According to statistics, each resident of a Scandinavian country consumes an average of 12 kg of coffee annually. Norwegians (10 kg), Icelanders (9 kg), Danes (8.7 kg), and Swedes (8.2 kg) are not far behind.
The Americans brought the Americano. The popular drink became their real find during the Second World War. The fact is that Americans could not drink black and strong coffee, as Europeans liked. So they asked to add a little water to the drink.
