A cup of coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages globally. It is prepared from the roasted seeds, commonly referred to as beans, of the coffee plant and is usually served hot but can also be served cold. A typical 7 fluid ounce cup of coffee contains 80-140 milligrams of caffeine, depending on the method of preparation. Coffee represents 71% of all the United States caffeine consumption followed by soft drinks and tea.
Coffee, along with tea and water, is one of the most frequently drunk beverages, its volume amounting to about a third that of tap water in North America and Europe. In 2003, coffee was the world's sixth-largest agricultural export in terms of value, behind wheat, maize, soybeans, palm oil, and sugar. What are the key historical aspects, plant varieties, processing methods, caffeine content, tasting notes, societal significance, and health implications of coffee consumption?

Coffee has a rich history dating back to the 9th century in Ethiopia and has since spread globally. There are two main species of the coffee plant: Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora. Arabica is considered to have a better taste than robusta, which contains more caffeine. The processing and roasting of coffee beans significantly impact the final flavor. Coffee preparation methods vary, from grinding at home to instant coffee. The caffeine content in coffee can vary based on the type and preparation method. Coffee tasting, or cupping, involves evaluating the body, acidity, and balance of the brew. Coffee is often consumed socially and has stimulant properties, affecting heart rate and dopamine levels. The beverage has played a significant role in various societies throughout history. Studies on coffee's health effects have shown mixed results, with some benefits like reducing diabetes risk and cirrhosis. The economics of coffee production are complex, with issues of fair trade and environmental impact being key considerations.
