Coffee consumption was largely unknown in Europe prior to the 16th century BC. It was said that the Ottoman Turkish was the one that introduced coffee consumption to the Italian, thus the word Kahve was borrowed and became Caffe in Latin. Coffee in those days was used to energize a person despite the fact that he might have not eaten any food during the day. Coffee is made from roasted coffee beans that are ground into powder and mixed with hot or pressured water. The most popular species of coffee beans are the Arabica and the Robusta, planted in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa in coffee plantations scattered throughout the regions. Nowadays, coffee is a popular agriculture commodity worldwide and one of the most widely bought, processed, packaged, consumed and given in the form of Gift Baskets products to others.

Five years ago, a study shows that coffee ranked seventh in a list of world’s largest legal exported commodities by value. And the number is growing, with companies introducing new, more practical ways to enjoy good cup of coffee, such as by creating K-Cups for coffee lovers who wish to get a cup of well-brewed coffee using their own brewing machine and Coffee Pods for people who do not want to mess around with used coffee, just like tea bags for tea. Few decades ago, people would agree that office coffee may not taste as good as coffee sold in real coffee houses, but now with the invention of packaged house blend coffees and pods made by renowned coffee specialists such as Starbuck’s, Java One and Wolfgang Puck, you could enjoy café-quality Office Coffee from the office coffee machine. You could find quality coffee products at great prices in wholesale coffee product distributors such as Coffee.org (www.coffee.org) which offers coffee, teas, supplies to gourmet cakes and chocolates to help add flavor to your coffee time experience.
