Coffee - a magical, mysterious drink for centuries, arousing emotions, lust, wars, passions like "a woman - sweet, hot, but should not stretch too long". The most famous legend of the discovery of the qualities of coffee is the one that says that the stimulating effect of coffee fruit was discovered by goats who, while grazing, accidentally ate the fruit from a bush growing next to a pasture. Their herdsman Kaldi, seeing the animals' strangely animated behaviour, also tasted the fruit and felt great afterwards.

Stunned by the discovery, he shared the experience with the monks of the nearby monastery. On the abbot's orders, the devil seed was thrown into the fire and after a while a beautiful aroma spread, which the abbot recognised as the work of God and ordered the seeds to be taken out of the fire. In order for all the monks to benefit from the miracle that had occurred, the abbot ordered the seeds rescued from the fire to be mixed with water and the resulting brew to be drunk.
