The Evolution of Coffee: From Wild Berries to Specialty Brews

The Evolution of Coffee: From Wild Berries to Specialty Brews

Coffee’s journey is as rich as its flavor. From its legendary discovery in Ethiopia by a goatherd named Kaldi to becoming a cherished global beverage, coffee has transformed across centuries. Once enjoyed as a simple energizing snack or tea, coffee grew into a cultural cornerstone in the Ottoman Empire and a social phenomenon in Europe’s coffeehouses. Today, the specialty coffee movement celebrates quality, sustainability, and the stories behind every bean.

At 787 Coffee, we honor this evolution by reviving Puerto Rico’s historic role in coffee production. Once the sixth-largest coffee producer in the world, Puerto Rico’s beans were sought after by the Vatican and Spanish royalty. Today, our farm-to-cup approach embraces this legacy while championing sustainable practices for a vibrant future. Whether you’re sipping our coffee at home or in one of our shops, you’re tasting centuries of tradition and innovation in every cup.
