Happiness is
Homemade
Coffee has taken an important place in human society for at least 600 years. Its consumption, which probably
originated in northeast Africa, spread out to the Middle East in the 15th century and thence to Europe. After oil,
coffee has become the second most valuable commodity around the world. Today, coffee is among the most wide-
ly consumed pharmacologically active beverages, and its consumption has become a regular part of daily life
worldwide.
