Kathleen Paulson, from the Magical Cats mysteries, loves coffee about as much as her cats, Hercules and Owen, love sardine crackers. She first got to know the very handsome Detective Marcus Gordon over coffee. She’s had coffee with the big breakfast at Fern’s Diner. She’s enjoyed hundred of cups in the staff room at the library. Over the years, I’ve learned some interesting trivia about coffee drinking and the history of one of our favorite beverages. Here are ten coffee facts.

  1. Did you know that coffee beans are technically seeds? They’re referred to as beans because that’s what they look like.
  2. World-wide, more than two billion cups of coffee are consumed every day.
  3. Robusta coffee beans contain more caffeine than Arabica.
  4. Both lattes and cappuccinos are espresso-based drinks. A cappuccino contains more espresso. A latte has more milk.
  5. Coffee is the second most popular drink in the world. Water is number one.
  6. After the Boston Tea Party, drinking coffee was seen as an act of patriotism.
  7. A cup of generic brewed coffee has more caffeine than a can of Red Bull.
  8. More than half of American adults drink coffee every day. And on average they consume slightly more than 3 cups.
  9. People who drink coffee regularly often consume calorie-heavy extras like cream, sugar and flavoured syrups with their coffee.
  10. Legend has it that coffee was discovered by an Ethiopian goat herder who noticed his goats became restless when they ate the leaves and beans of an unfamiliar plant.
