We don't know who really discovered coffee. There is a popular story about a young man who discovered coffee in Ethiopia, a country in Africa. Around the year 700, there was a young man called Kaldi who took care of goats. One day, he watched them while they were eating some plants. Soon after they ate the plants, the goats become very excited, and they did not sleep that night.
