Do you know how coffee was discovered? There is a famous legend from Ethiopia about a man named Kaldi. Kaldi was a goat herder. One day, he noticed his goats had a lot of energy and were jumping around after eating some red berries from a tree. He tried the berries himself and felt very active! Later, people began to use these berries to make the hot drink we enjoy today.

Today, coffee culture is everywhere. There are many different ways to prepare it, such as Espresso, Cappuccino, or Latte.
