When was coffee discovered?

According to an East African legend, coffee was discovered when a 9th-century goathered named Kaldi saw his goats become strangely energetic after eating the berries of a certain  bush.

News spread, and soon monks at a nearby monastery began boiling the berries to produce a drink that helped them stay alert during long nights of prayer.

Eventually, it was found that roasting and crushing the berries before boiling them produced a more flavorful drink. After that, coffee’s popularity quickly spread.
