History records that the discovery of coffee as a nutritious and energy drink was first discovered by the Ethiopians on the African continent around 3000 years (1000 BC) ago. Coffee then continued to grow until it is now one of the most popular drinks in the world, which is consumed by various groups of people. Indonesia itself has been able to produce more than 400 thousand tons of coffee per year. In addition to its attractive taste and aroma, coffee can also reduce the risk of developing cancer, diabetes, gallstones, and various heart (cardiovascular) diseases.
The word coffee itself originally comes from Arabic: qahwah, which means strength, because at first, coffee was used as a high-energy food. The word qahwah again changed to kahveh, which came from Turkish and then changed again to koffie in Dutch. The use of the word koffie was immediately absorbed into the Indonesian language into the word "coffee" which is known today.
