Let's start with a fun fact: Did you know that coffee was first discovered by a goat herder in Ethiopia? Legend has it that the herder noticed his goats had extra energy after eating coffee cherries, so he tried them himself, and voila—coffee was born! So next time you're sipping on your favorite blend, thank a goat for introducing you to this magical elixir.
Now, the most expensive coffee in the world – Kopi Luwak. This luxurious brew is made from coffee beans eaten and excreted by the Asian Palm Civet (above photo).
Yes, you read that right – the beans come from poop! But don't let that deter you from trying it, as this unique process supposedly creates a smooth and rich flavor that coffee connoisseurs swear by. Just check the price tag before ordering a cup, as it can cost upwards of $100 per pound. Talk about budget-busting beans!
Imagine how the Finns feel if you can't survive without your morning cup of joe.

So the next time you're feeling sluggish, remember that you could always move to Finland for an unlimited supply of caffeine.
Speaking of caffeine, did you know that decaf coffee is not caffeine-free? Despite popular belief, decaf coffee still contains a small amount of caffeine – about 2-5mg per cup.
