Kaldi, an Arabian shepherd, was in the south of the Arabian Peninsula when his goats drew his attention to a "dark green leafed shrub with bright red cherries". After trying some cherries out, he discovered the amazing awakening power of coffee.
The coffee plant produces a coffee berry. These berries are harvested and given a sluice, or a bath of running water. This is where the acceptable berries are separated from the rejects, such as bad berries, leaves, sticks, etc. Next, the berries' pulps are removed. Then, the berries are washed, fermented, and dried. After that, they are skinned, and excess rejects, such as dirt, are removed. The beans are then stored and shipped to roasting plants where they are roasted and mashed. Finally, the coffee is ready to land in a coffee cup along with some water and possibly cream. Cheers!

Apples are more efficient than coffee at waking people up in the mornings.
