Last updated 2026-09-29 — Coffee is grown in 76 countries in the world, all between latitudes 23 degrees north and 25 degrees south. There are more than 80 known varieties of coffee in the world, of which only Arab and Robusta coffee beans are used for commercial purposes.

A bag of fresh coffee beans weighs about 60 kilograms and about 100 coffee trees need to be picked.

It takes about 4000 to 5000 fresh beans to bake a kilogram of coffee beans.

Coffee beans lose about 5% of their weight during baking, but their volume increases by the same percentage.

Coffee beans have about 800 known ingredients, most of which are produced during roasting. But no single ingredient can produce the aroma and taste of coffee.

The earliest coffee drinking records in North America were between 1668 and 1670. WilliamPenn mentions buying fresh coffee beans in New York.

The oldest existing coffee shop in Europe is the "BremerKaffeestube" (Bremen's coffee shop) in Schuetting, Germany, built in 1700.

The earliest coffee magazine was published in 1707. This magazine is called "TheNewandCuriousCoffeeHouse" (novel coffee shop).

The first person in the world to mix coffee with milk was Nieuhoff, the Dutch ambassador to China in 1660, who also created the habit of drinking tea and milk.

The world's first bag of instant coffee was invented by SatoriKato of Japan in 1881. The product was patented in the United States in 1903 and successfully produced by Nestl é in 1938.
