COFFEE ROASTS
Naming coffee by the way it is roasted is quite common. Although there is a scientific side to roasting coffee, there is also a story side. bean roast.
Like drinking one type of coffee, there are whole ethnicities which went from cradle to grave drinking one type of roast. Many of these coffee names reflect the country which this roast was prevalent; French roast, American roast, and Italian roast, Java roast. As people started to get individualized, cities started to name roasts; City roast (New York), Atlanta roast, Viennese roast, and New Orleans roast. Cities in other countries started doing the same thing.
Roasting is simply a matter of slow cooking the coffee bean. As the coffee bean roasts, like everything else which is cooked, there is a chemical reaction. The characters of the various coffee beans change. The longer the coffee has bean is cooked (ha), the more the chemicals change the character. This chemical reaction creates the various different 600 plus compounds which change the quality and taste.
The degree of roast and the roast name, simple describe how much the bean is roasted. As the bean roasts, it turns brown. Obviously, the darker the coffee bean gets the longer it was roasting. However, roasting the coffee bean isn't a simple mater of sticking it in a device and roasting it. The coffee bean actually roasts differently if roasted at two different temperatures until the color is the same. The bean goes from endothermic to exothermic during the roasting process. Endothermic means heat absorbing and exothermic meaning heat producing. The coffee bean actually creates its own heat by chemical reaction similar to that of “heat of hydration’ during cement curing or as detergent does if you hold it wet.
Depending upon the reaction desired, the coffee roasting creates the "essence of the coffee bean." The essence of the coffee bean is seen as the coffee oils. Later, coffee oils became coffeeol. These are oils however, they also are water soluble. Regulating the roasting procedure produces more or less of the coffee oil for a given coffee bean. Additionally, the chemical process makes the coffee bean brittle. When the coffee bean becomes brittle it is easier to grind.

Coffee Bean: Calgary Alberta Canada
Coffee beans have bean eaten raw for centuries in Ethiopia and Yemen. An excavation in the Ethiopian highlands where coffee grows wild indicates human gathers have been eating coffee berries over a hundred thousand years. The fleshy pulp around the coffee bean in Ethiopian coffee has high sugar content. Being sweet, being nutritious, and seeds, nuts, grapes and berries being generally eaten by humans for over a million years sort of supports this theory.
Ugandans were noticed chewing dried coffee beans when the first explorers from Europe were searching for the origin of the Nile River. Green coffee beans were ground up and mixed with fat, then made into small balls, which were eaten by travelers on long journeys. Some say this is the first trail mix.
Stories in the Southern Arabian Peninsula known as Yemen where Europeans first found the coffee plant cultivated support the coffee bean being traded in early 800 BC. Facts support trade between Yemen and Ethiopia during this time. Knowing the coffee berries reacted when ingested by themselves, it would be logical that those early traders would attempt to trade this item. Additionally, evidence does not support the coffee plant would grow wild in Yemen but was cultivated instead. Although, it is possible that a lost larger size bird could have carried the coffee berries that far, it is not likely.
No specific historic event is involved in coffee arriving in Southern Arabia but Ethiopia did invaded Southern Arabia in 525 AD. Many speculate that coffee could have been introduced to Arabia at this time. Some historians say coffee was introduced into Arabia by slave traders who raided Africa as early as 1000 BC.
The two things that support the theory that coffee spread very early in civilized trade are coffee's affect on people and many old Arabian stories.

Coffee Quebec
Coffee Quebec: "* 600-800 AD -- the era in which an Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi reportedly discovered coffee after observing that his goats become very excited upon eating coffee berries"
Members of the Galla tribe in Ethiopia notice that they get an energy boost when they eat a certain red berry, ground up and mixed with animal fat.
1000 A.D.: Arab traders bring coffee back to their homeland from Africa and cultivate the plant for the first time on plantations. They also began to boil the beans, creating a drink they call "qahwa" (literally, that which prevents sleep).
1453: Coffee is introduced to Constantinople by Ottoman Turks. The world's first coffee shop, Kiva Han, open there in 1475. Turkish law makes it legal for a woman to divorce her husband if he fails to provide her with her daily quota of coffee.
1511: Khair Beg, the corrupt governor of Mecca, tries to ban coffee for fear that its influence might foster opposition to his rule. The sultan sends word that coffee is sacred and has the governor executed.
1600: Coffee, introduced to the West by Italian traders, grabs attention in high places. In Italy, Pope Clement VIII is urged by his advisers to consider that favorite drink of the Ottoman Empire part of the infidel threat. However, he decides to "baptize" it instead, making it an acceptable Christian beverage. Cup to that!
1607: Captain John Smith helps to found the colony of Virginia at Jamestown. It's believed that he introduced coffee to North America.
1645: First coffeehouses open in Italy.

1668: Edward Lloyd's coffeehouse opens in England and is frequented by merchants and maritime insurance agents. Eventually it becomes the world famous Lloyd's of London, the best-known insurance company in the world.
1672: First coffeehouses open in Paris.
1675: The Turkish Army surrounds Vienna. Franz Georg Kolschitzky, a Viennese who had lived in Turkey, slips through the enemy lines to lead relief forces to the city. The fleeing Turks leave behind sacks of "dry black fodder" that Kolschitzky recognizes as coffee. He claims it as his reward and opens central Europe's first coffee house. He also establishes the habit of refining the brew by filtering out the grounds, sweetening it, and adding a dash of milk.
1690: With a coffee plant smuggled out of the Arab port of Mocha, the Dutch become the first to transport and cultivate coffee commercially, in Ceylon and in their East Indian colony - Java, source of the brew's nickname.
1713: The Dutch unwittingly provide Louis XIV of France with a coffee bush whose descendants will produce entire Western coffee industry when in
1723 French naval officer Gabriel Mathieu do Clieu steals a seedling and transports it to Martinique. Within 50 years and official survey records 19 million coffee trees on Martinique. Eventually, 90 percent of the world's coffee spreads from this plant.
1721: First coffee house opens in Berlin.
1727: The Brazilian coffee industry gets its start when Lieutenant colonel Francisco de Melo Palheta is sent by government to arbitrate a border dispute between the French and the Dutch colonies in Guiana. Not only does he settle the dispute, but also strikes up a secret liaison with the wife of French Guiana's governor. Although France guarded its New World coffee plantations to prevent cultivation from spreading, the lady said good-bye to Palheta with a bouquet in which she hid cuttings and fertile seeds of coffee.
1732: Johann Sevastian Bach composes his Kaffee-Kantate. Partly an ode to coffee and partly a jab at the movement in Germany to prevent women from drinking coffee (it was thought to make them sterile), the cantata includes the aria, "Ah! How sweet coffee taste! Lovelier than a thousand kisses, sweeter far than muscatel wine! I must have my coffee."
1773: The Boston Tea Party makes drinking coffee a patriotic duty in to Americans.
1775: Prussia's Frederick the Great tries to block inports of green coffee, as Prussia's wealth is drained. Public outcry changes his mind.
1886: Former wholesale grocer Joel Cheek names his popular coffee blend "Maxwell House," after the Maxwell hotel in Nashville, TN where it's served.
1900's: In Germany, the afternoon coffee break becomes a standard occasion. The derogatory term "KaffeeKlatsch" is coined to describe women's gossip at these affairs. This term has been broadened to mean relaxed conversation in general.
1900: Hills Bros. begins packing roast coffee in vacuum packed tins, spelling the end of the ubiquitous local roasting shops and coffee mills.
1902: The first soluble "instant" coffee is invented by Japanese-American chemist Satori Kato of Chicago.
1903: German coffee importer Ludwig Roselius turn a batch of ruined coffee beans over to researchers, who perfect the process of removing caffeine from the beans without destroying the flavor. He markets it under the brand name "Sanka." Sanka is introduced to the United States in 1923.
1906: George Constant Washington, an English chemist living in Guatemala, notices a powdery condensation forming on the spout of his silver coffee carafe. After experimentation, he creates the first mass-produced instant coffee (his brand is called Red E Coffee).

Wild Mushrooms and Coffee
The actual discovery of coffee is vague, however most accounts point to a quaint legend of a goatherder in the 1400's who noticed his goats acting more lively than usual. He looked over to see some of the herd chewing on bushes heavy with red berries. Curious, he plucked a few berries for himself and after chewing on them, noticed his energy increase substantially. He took the berries to a local monastery where the chief medicinal monk boiled the berries in water and produced an aromatic but bitter liquid, which when drunk acted as a stimulant and warded off drowsiness and fatigue.
