That’s just one man’s perception of what makes the perfect cup of coffee - so strong it keeps the neighbours awake! Back then of course, he wouldn’t have had a great deal of choice. Now when you ask for coffee you get a menu: ground or whole bean? Caff or de-caff? Americano, cappuccino, espresso, frappé macchiato, mocha or latte? Coffee these days is big business. Petroleum aside, it is the biggest natural commodity in international trade. Some 25 million people in 50 countries worldwide depend on it for their livelihood. And among the connoisseurs, good coffee is treated with the same reverence as fine wine. All this from an innocuous-looking bean discovered, according to legend, by an African goatherd. He thought his goats seemed unusually jumpy when they ate this particular bean. Trying it for himself, he felt alert and invigorated. But it was a passing monk that made the first cup of coffee from the beans by crushing them into a powder and pouring on boiling water. His fellow monks were greatly impressed by his ability to pray all night and word soon got around.
