Instant coffee

Brewed coffee

The espresso was invented in Italy, around 100 years ago, and is credited to a man by the name of Luigi Bezzera, from Milan.

First invented in the UK in 1771, instant coffee first began as a 'coffee compound'. In the 20th century, instant coffee finally found its market. In 1890, New Zealander David Stang developed a 'soluble instant coffee', followed by the Chicago chemist Satorio Kato in 1901..

The earliest credible evidence of coffee drinking as the modern beverage appears in modern-day Yemen in southern Arabia in the middle of the 15th century in Sufi shrines.
