Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain coffee species.
Coffee is dark in colour, bitter, slightly acidic, and has a stimulating effect in humans primarily due to its caffeine content.
It is regarded as one of the most popular drinks in the world and can be presented and prepared in varieties (e.g. latte, espresso, French press, etc.).
Coffee is usually served hot, although, iced-coffee is common. Coffeehouse establishments serving prepared coffee or other hot beverges have existed for over 500 years and has since then sprouted across the world.
