The story of coffee brought to you by Douwe Egberts

I was just watching these videos on the story of coffee and actually found them quite interesting!

Douwe Egberts have put together these three videos, each for a different area of coffee making, to venture into the history behind the great bean - along with a little self promotion but who can blame them?

The films start from the very beginning, I wouldn't want to spoil the facts but I would never have guessed who first discovered coffee back in 300AD!! (mental) and then going on to producing the famous beverage many people drink today.

Douwe Egberts go on to explain how the drink caught on, there's some great 50s footage of coffee houses back in the day.

Anyway... Take a look, the first one is about espresso and the origins of coffee >
