Explanation: While use of coffee beans originated in Ethiopia, it was the Arabs of the 15th century AD who discovered that it could be brewed into a drink. While I'm not a coffee drinker myself, both an appreciation for the historical importance of the drink and the fantastic smell makes me thankful for the discovery as well! Truly the world's first step into modernity 🙏

IIRC it's Ethiopian goat herders that first noticed the goats that ate coffee berries are getting buzzed.

Those goats are the GOATs. I love coffee.
