What is Coffee?
Coffee is a popular beverage made from the roasted seeds of the coffee plant (Coffea arabica or Coffea canephora). It's brewed using hot water, which extracts the flavors and oils from the beans.
Types of Coffee
- Brewed coffee: a traditional method where coarse grounds are added to water and steeped for 3-5 minutes
- Espresso: a concentrated shot made by forcing pressurized hot water through finely ground coffee beans
- Drip coffee: brewed using a drip coffee maker with paper filters
Coffee Culture
Coffee has been an integral part of many cultures around the world, including Ethiopia, Brazil, and Colombia. Each region has its unique coffee-growing practices, flavors, and brewing methods.
