Coffee originated on the plateaus of central Ethiopia. By A.D. 1000, Ethiopian Arabs were collecting the fruit of the tree, which grew wild, and preparing a beverage from its beans. During the fifteenth century traders Trans planted wild coffee trees from Africa to southern Arabia. The eastern Arabs, the first to cultivate coffee, soon adopted the Ethiopian Arabs' practice of making a hot beverage from its ground, roasted beans.
Although it has a long shelf life, instant coffee quickly spoils if it is not kept dry. Instant coffee differs in make-up and taste to ground coffee. In particular, the percentage of caffeine in instant coffee is less, and bitter flavor components are more evident. The lowest quality coffee beans are often used in the production of instant coffee (the best beans are usually kept to be sold whole) and sometimes other unwanted residues from the harvest are used in the production process. Coffee contains the following: Trimethylphenol, ethylphenol, methoxy, ethylphenol, methylenephenol, dicaffeoyl, quinic acid, ethylphenol, methoxy, vinylphenol, acetaldehyde, caffeine, caffeol, caffeoyl, quinic acid, caffetannic acid, chlorogenic acid, citric acid, daturic acid, guaiacol, hypoxanthine, isochlorogenic acid, putrescine, scopoletin, spermidine, spermine, sugars, tannic acid, tannin, theobromine, theophylline, thiamin, trigonelline and xanthine.
In the United States, coffee achieved the same, almost instantmenil popularity that it had won in Europe. However, the brew favored by early American coffee drinkers tasted significantly different from that enjoyed by today's connoisseurs, as nineteenth-century cookbooks make clear. One 1844 cookbooks instructed people to use a much higher coffee/water ratio than we favor today (one per sixteenounes); boil the brew for almost a half an hour (today people are instructed never to boil coffee); and add fish skin, (a made from the air bladders of fish), or egg shells to reduce the acidity brought out by boiling the beans so long (today we would discard overly acidic coffee). Coffee yielded from this recipe would strike modern coffee lovers as intolerably strong and acidic; moreover, it would have little aroma
Many people take exception to neighbors cats using their garden or yard as a toilet, a mixture of used coffee grounds and & orange peel put round plants and in beds you want left alone will provide a pungent smell that cats do not like and so will find someone else's garden to use. To get rid of ants put used coffee grounds onto the ant hills, this will have to be done for each hill as the pesky things will move to another home. Kitchen drains tend to get smelly, simply get a cup of coffee grounds and tip down the plughole making sure you tip a kettle of boiling water down slowly & leave to work on the odors. For a quick fix on fabrics soak garment in strong black un-sugared coffee, this is an inexpensive way to dye clothes brown in an emergency but remember it will not be color fast. Coffee grounds can be used to clean any stain resistant surface; it has a mild & gentle abrasive element & smells fresh too, particularly good for smelly ashtrays and greasy surfaces.
To help plants to flourish add coffee to your soil, this is best done in small amounts of soil so you can add 1 cup of lime to balance acidity if need be, another way is to empty it straight onto your compost pile with other kitchen waste. - 16650
