Coffee Fun Facts:
- Coffee beans are actually the seeds from the coffee plant's berry like fruits, which are then processed and roasted- so what I am hearing is coffee is a fruit!
- Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world, accounting for approximately a third of the world's total coffee production.
- But, Finland drinks the most coffee! On average they drink 1,680 cups on average each a year.
- Starbucks remains the world's largest coffee company, with over 39,000 locations
- Decaffeinated coffee still has some caffeine in it- it's impossible to remove all the caffeine from a coffee bean. For a coffee to be classed as decaf, it needs to have less than 0.3% caffeine. A regular cup of coffee has 800 to 100 milligrams of caffeine.
- Here in the United States- we consumes around 146 billion cups of coffee each year, which is about 400 million cups per day. So that means the average American coffee drinker is consuming about three cups of coffee per day.
- Coffee wasn’t always as loved as it is today. In the 18th century, governments in Europe tried to ban it because it was thought to stimulate radical thinking.
