History needed

[edit]

Is it not that coffee came from the Americas? So this cannot be such an ancient ceremony. Perhaps there was some other drink that preceded the coffee? פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 13:53, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Coffee is indeed native to Ethiopia, see coffee production in Ethiopia. According to history of coffee, the crop is not native to the Americas, but was brought there and cultivated. In any case, this article doesn't even mention the word "ancient." Thanks. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:17, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Milk

[edit]

THe article reads, "[coffee] is not traditionally drunk with milk." The reference accompanying this edit says "no milk." This is inaccurate. I don't know whether most people take milk with their coffee or not, but it is always offered and there's nothing unusual about it. However, I can't cite a source to that effect - for now I have flagged the sentence in question. FWIW this article has been mirrored all over the web, but the version cited in this article would seem to be the oldest instance. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:04, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
