The earliest mention of coffee dates to the Abbasid Empire – which dominated the Middle East and north Africa – in the 9th century, says Gastro Obscura. But bunk, as it was then called, wasn’t a beverage. People used the beans to make “dry, aromatic compounds” that could mask the smell of sweat and food – handwash, effectively. It wasn’t until the 15th century that it became a popular drink, first for medicinal purposes and later to stay awake.
