Fun Coffee Facts to Annoy Your Friends With

All facts are from the experts at Esquires, The Organic Coffee Co.

Coffee beans are technically seeds.

We call them beans because of their resemblance to legumes, but they’re really more pits in cherry-like berries.

Espresso means ‘pressed out’ in Italian.

This, obviously, reverse to how espresso is made.

A coffee plant can live up to 200 years.

That’s two centuries!

Slurping coffee is said to be the best way to drink it.

Allegedly, this is a method coffee experts use to judge the quality of a roast. An aggressive slurp allows for an accurate impression of the flavor.

You can overdose on coffee.

About 30 cups in a short period of time is a near lethal dose.

Decaf doesn’t mean caffeine free.

An eight-ounce cup of decaf coffee, on average, contains two to 12 milligrams of caffeine.
