It's a mystery exactly how or when coffee was discovered, however the most popular legend traces its origin back to a goat farmer in Ethiopia. Coffee then eventually made its way to the Arabian Peninsula in the 15th century, before travelers brought it to Europe two hundred years later, according to the National Coffee Association.

A young naval officer named Gabriel de Clieu was the first to bring it to the Americas in the middle part of the 17th century, and it eventually made it to the United States in the decades following, according to the NCA.
