Coffee is one of the three most popular beverages in the world (alongside water and tea) and one of the most profitable international commodities. Its popularity is mainly attributed to its invigorating effect, which is produced by caffeine.

Two species of coffee plants, Coffea arabica (Arabica) and C. canephora (Robusta), supply almost all of the world’s consumption. Arabica is considered a milder and more flavourful and aromatic brew than Robusta. Arabica requires a cool subtropical climate; Latin America, eastern Africa, Asia, and Arabia are leading producers of Arabica coffee. Robusta bean, is hardier and can grow at lower altitudes so it is cheaper to produce and has twice the caffeine content of Arabica; Western and Central Africa, Southeast Asia, and Brazil are major producers of Robusta coffee.

Coffee beans are actually seeds. It is only after they have been dried, roasted and ground that they can be used to brew the humble zip. If unprocessed coffee seeds are planted, they can germinate and grow into coffee plants. A new planted coffee bushes take 3-4 years to bear fruit. The fruit, commonly termed cherries, will be picked and then processed in order to extract the beans using machines as the beans are relatively hard. The beans are cleaned and dried. Unroasted coffee is known as green coffee. Roasting seeks to transform the green coffee into the aromatic brown beans that we can find in markets. Roasting is carried out at temperatures of approximately 280°C and the time and temperature can be adjusted to produce different types of roasts – light, medium and dark. Roasting for a longer duration and a higher temperature can reduce the acidity of coffee bean as well as the aroma. Roasted coffee bean can be sold in the market as whole bean or fine powder.

Green coffee contains chlorogenic acid but the content diminished during roasting due to its less heat stability. Since the caffeine content has to be stated in the label, the consumer has to control their coffee intake so it will not exceed daily allowance of caffeine.

The best known ingredient in coffee is caffeine and its beneficial effects on the human body has been studied widely. First, it can boost physical performance by 10-12% because caffeine increases adrenaline levels in the blood. By increasing the body metabolism, coffee can help to burn fat and lose weight. When someone feel tired, coffee is always the first choice to help improve focus and improve mental alertness. Coffee also has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer and stroke and protect against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases. Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system and boosts production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline, which elevate our mood.
