The Coffee

 

The coffee has an amazing story, where we can find important facts about it. The first literary reference to coffee being drunk in North America is from 1668, because Edward Lloyd established coffee houses in many countries of Unites States. But it was the Dutch who first started the spread of the coffee plant in Central and South America, where today it reigns supreme as the main continental cash crop.

          

 

 

 

         

 

        Now after all, the coffee has a big influence in the world (economically) because lots of people in every place in the world consume leastwise one cup of coffee. It is one of the most valuable primary products in world trade. Also, the coffee is not only one of the most important things in the world because of its economic productivity, it is important too because makes that everyone (that drink it) feels like if had more energy; it makes you feel very, very good.

         A fact very interesting is know what is the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee. The amount of caffeine depends on its origin or the composition of the blend, the method of brewing and the strength of the brew. Lots of companies get a big amount of money because drinking coffee is one of the most frequently activities in the world, an example of it is Starbucks.
