What Are Some Coffee Trivia? A Single Article Explains Everything
Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world, and it's not just a drink, it’s the world’s second-largest trade commodity after oil. Therefore, coffee trade is crucial for politics, survival, and economy. Fluctuations in coffee bean trade directly impact the movements of some stock exchanges and business meeting rooms around the world.
Today, Xiao Zhao will introduce you to some interesting facts about coffee. There are five coffee trivia that even coffee enthusiasts might not know about~
① A cup of coffee can rescue your ‘sleep inertia’
You must have experienced this feeling: the alarm clock rings, you wake up in a daze and turn it off without realizing it. At that time, you feel like you’ve already woken up, but in fact, a part of you is still asleep. What should you do in this situation?
You need a cup of coffee.
For example, after a 20-40 minute lunch break, when you’re feeling sluggish, a cup of coffee will make your afternoon work less painful.
② One coffee tree can live for 200 years
Coffee grows on trees and can live for 200 years. From a single seed to a mature coffee tree and eventually death, it may take 200 years.
Xiao Zhao’s warm reminder: In 1820, China was during the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor was the Jiaqing Emperor and Daoguang Emperor. This was also the period when the Industrial Revolution was just beginning. That means the coffee you’re drinking now might be from coffee trees grown in the Qing Dynasty.
It’s amazing how a coffee tree can witness two-and-a-half centuries of rise and fall.
③ Coffee can also energize cars
Coffee can do more than just make you feel energized after a nap; it can also energize cars. This claim comes from a study by scientists at the University of Nevada, USA. Researchers found that used coffee grounds can also be used to produce biodiesel.
Research shows that the biodiesel content of coffee grounds is about 15%, which is slightly less than that of soybeans, rapeseed, and palm oil. However, coffee oil is more stable because it contains more antioxidants, resulting in biodiesel that can be sold for about $1 per gallon.
④ Turks use coffee grounds to predict the weather
Turkish coffee is famous for its peculiar taste, and its peculiar taste comes from its peculiar brewing method. Turkish coffee is considered the most ‘original’ taste of coffee, and it’s a taste with a long history.
Many Turks, especially women, like to use the coffee grounds left behind from drinking coffee to predict their fortune. For example, if they see a full moon shape, it means the god of luck is blessing them, and they can confidently set off for their goals.
⑤ Coffee helps burn fat
Caffeine can increase the metabolism by 3-10%, so the body can burn fat faster. A study in ‘Nutrition and Exercise Performance’ showed that caffeine can significantly increase energy consumption and fat consumption during exercise.
