A History of Coffee on its way to the U.S
It is said that Captain John Smith was the first to bring coffee to America in 1607. By 1668 Coffee had become the favorite morning drink over beer in New York. This taste for coffee developed in America through the late 1600s. Penn was the first “official” purchaser of coffee beans in 1683 in New York. By the mid 1700s the preference for coffee and tea were about the same. After the Boston Tea party in 1773, it became unpatriotic to drink tea. Colonists who were no longer trading with England found they could get coffee from Central and South America. The colonists roasted and ground the beans the same way they had for centuries. They dropped the grounds in the bottom of a “coffee pot” that now sloped inward from the bottom and had a spout on the opposite side of the handle. Hot water was poured over the coffee grounds and boiled for a few minutes. After boiling, some put an egg or a chicory branch in the pot to keep the grounds at the bottom. Chicory was also a popular drink at this time and considered a good substitute for coffee. In 1865, coffee percolators appeared in Europe and America thanks to inventor James Mason. What happened next to coffee in America?

Gabriel de Clieu brought seedlings to Martinique in the Caribbean in 1720. These beans seeds then traveled Mexico and Brazil where the first plantations began. Brazil then became the largest supplier of coffee beans for the next century and beyond. From Martinique these coffee seedlings spread to Haiti, Mexico and other islands in the Caribbean. Coffee beans also found its way to Bourbon Island in the Indian Ocean and spread from there around 1727. These were a smaller type of Arabica bean called “Bourbon.”
The taste for coffee came to America with the British in the 1600s. More of the travels of the coffee beans tomorrow and when it came actually came to America. Coffee makers also came to America and were made in America.
A History of Coffee on its way to the U.S.
The first coffeehouse opened in Istanbul, Turkey in 1554 after a previous 10 year ban by Imams for being too stimulating a drink. This was rescinded by a sultan and fatwa. By the 16th century, coffee that the Turks and men of Yemen drank began to spread in many directions. Coffee as a drink now spread through Persia, Turkey and northern Africa. These coffee beans became known as Arabica beans. Going north it first went to Italy by way of the Ottoman Empire; it then traveled to the rest of Europe. Coffee was now brewed in a few minutes in a “coffee maker” pot rather than half a day. The Dutch took coffee seeds and plants to the Dutch East Indies, now called Indonesia. Cultivated there they became known as “Java Coffee” by1719. Coffee beans now come to the Americas.
