American Coffee History Technically there is no such thing, at least none that is grown in North America. There is such a thing as the US coffee consumer which might as well be an institution all their own for it’s their money that drives a substantial portion of the market. So, if you want to learn more about the history of coffee in the United States, read on. Americans consume more coffee than any other nation on earth. Coffee companies in the United States revolutionized coffee marketing, packaging, distributing, and even processing and roasting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The US has sent troops to other countries to protect coffee growers and exporters from civil unrest. Yes, the USA is in love with coffee. US coffee retailers like Starbucks® have created huge multi-billion dollar companies. They did this by providing the public not only a good cup of coffee but a relaxing place to socialize and drink their coffee. Starbucks® did not invent the coffee house by any means. The earliest known coffee house opened in 1475 in Constantinople. But Starbucks® definitely revolutionized the experience for USA coffee drinkers and carried the modern coffeehouse into the 21st century. In fact, many wars have been fought over coffee and the lands on which it is grown. From small scale turf wars to full blown civil wars and political revolt. Such as in Nicaragua in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Coffee has become an integral part of every society it has ever been introduced to from the time it was discovered about 600 A.D. There is definitely something about the dark, mysterious and tantalizing beverage that captivates the spirit and captures the imagination. US coffee drinkers are no different and have adopted the age old addiction with gusto.
