Did you know the french invented the espresso? Scholars still debate if the name comes from ‘exprès’ (as in specially made for you) or ‘express’ (as in fast).
The story goes that coffee was found when a goat herders goats ate the berries, and got all excited.
A bit worried, the goat herder went to the local religious authorities and told his story. The sanction was severe, the devil lives in the berries, burn them all down to the ground!
So off they all went, torches in hand, but when they put fire to the coffee plants, it smelled so good that the clergy decided it couldn’t be the devils work and retracted the condemnation, and thus coffee was discovered!
Now harness that addiction and turn it into a hobby!
