Coffee was taken to Arabia,
starting its widespread use to become popular in the entire
world. As with other plants and seeds, the discovery and
diffusion of coffee are also connected to wars, colonisation
and trade, since those who were involved in wars and
colonisations took coffee with them during their travels to
foreign lands.
Coffee came to the West through Venice, where the first
“Coffee Shop” was opened in 1640. Due to its immediate
success, coffee and coffee bars spread in England, Austria,
Germany and Holland too.
