Coffee History

Where is the word "coffee" come from? The words from around the world that apply to coffee are pretty diverse, including caffe in Italian, gahwa in the Arab world and bunna in Africa.

The word "coffee" may have come to us from Ethiopia, where the plant that produces those exotic beans comes from, the Kaffa region of the country. Kaffa became Coffee.

The coffee percolator comes to us from England, however "drip pot" was a term in the American language since the late 1800's.
