By the seventeenth century coffee had been introduced to Europe. European traders started bringing coffee plants to other parts of the world. The Dutch brought coffee to the islands of Indonesia. And by the twentieth century, most of the world’s production came from Central and South America. Today, Brazil is the largest producer of coffee in the world.Most people know what a coffee bean looks like, but what about the plant? Coffee trees can grow up to nine meters high, but they are cut short for production. These trees have shiny dark green leaves that grow on opposite sides of each other on a stem. The plant produces a fruit that is called a coffee cherry.When the coffee cherries are ripe and ready to pick, they are bright, red and firm. Inside the fruits are the green coffee beans. After these beans are roasted at high temperatures they are ready to be made into a drink.咖啡店供应的许多品种的咖啡有各种各样的添加调味剂，如巧克力、酒、薄荷、丁香、柠檬汁、奶油、奶精等，各民族的人喝咖啡的口味也不同。常见的咖啡种类有：黑咖啡，白咖啡，意式浓缩咖啡，拿铁咖啡，摩卡咖啡，卡布奇诺，鸳鸯，爱尔兰咖啡。咖啡，可以陪伴自己度过许多惬意的时光。但是咖啡如过度食用则会中毒、上瘾，产生一系列的不良反应。
