FOR ALL COFFEE LOVERS
I’m Nikki, and I run a blog dedicated to all things coffee.
I love everything about coffee: the beans, the machines, presses, and accessories. When I started my blog in 2012 it was just for me—a place where I could share my thoughts on coffee with others who felt as passionately about it as I did.
It makes me so happy to know that there are more and more of us out there interested in sharing our passion for one of life’s greatest pleasures: great-tasting coffee.
My favourite coffee drink is a Cappuccino, made with organic milk and served in a glass cup. I also love drinking good filter coffee when I’m in the mood for something classic and simple.

HISTORY OF COFFEE
The first official mention of coffee was found in documents from the 9th century, and since then, coffee has become a part of daily life around the world.
No one knows for sure where coffee originated, with conflicting stories coming from Ethiopia and Yemen. However, one apocryphal tale speculates that Ethiopia is the birthplace of this beloved bean, and that coffee lovers and caffeine addicts can thank a 9th century goat herder named Kaldi for discovering coffee’s power. While tending his goats, he noticed them becoming hyperactive after eating berries from a certain bush. Legend has it that he tried some himself and was amazed by the effects—hence the discovery of coffee.

How did coffee get to Australia?
Although people around the world had been drinking coffee since the 15th century, it didn’t reach Australia until much later. While some European explorers made their way to our shores with coffee on board, it wasn’t until the 1930s when Italian immigrants brought espresso with them that the green shoots of Australian’s coffee culture began to grow and develop its own unique take on coffee. The flat white is widely regarded to have Aussie origins, although Kiwis and Brits may dispute this!

The first machines were steam-driven devices that could make a single cup of espresso at a time, but modern coffee machines are much more advanced and can produce a variety of espresso-based drinks with ease. Recent innovations include the ability to control grind size and temperature, as well as automatically frothing milk for cappuccinos and lattes. We can also enjoy programmable features such as one-touch programming and customizable drink sizes, allowing us to enjoy our favorite cup of coffee exactly how they like it.
