Development of coffee :

The commercial development of coffee started in the 1700’s when a French captain traveled the Atlantic to the Caribbean Island of Martinique. He had 19 million trees grown there within 50 years. Then coffee became a famous drink nationally in the United States. The Italians looked to popularize coffee in 1822 by inventing a coffee machine called the espresso maker in France. Now you can find 200,000 espresso machines in Italy. While in France Dr. Ernest Illy discovered an automatic machine for preparing espresso in 1933. The machines developed nowadays are by Achilles Gaggia, an Italian man from 1946 to now. He expanded it as inventing “a high pressure espresso machine by using a spring powered lever system. The first pump driven espresso machine was produced in 1960 by the Faema company”( Bellis,n.d.).

The development of the coffee machine did not stop at that point but it continued to go through a number inventions. The first coffee filter came from Germany by Melitta Bentz, a housewife. She looked for a way to make a clear coffee without any over brewing which caused bitterness. She found that her son used a blotter paper at school which helped her to achieve her goal cutting it in circle and shaping it in the cup.

As a result, her invention was recorded and patented in 1908 for the coffee filter machine and filter paper. After that Melitta and her husband participated in a fair at Leipziger in Germany where they sold 1200 coffee filters ( Bellis,n.d.).

Section:1                                                                                      

Story of coffee :

The story of coffee was due to a herdsman called Kaldi in Eastern Africa  now  as Ethiopia. He was surprised when he saw his goat walking actively after eating berries from a tree. This fruit became popular and spread rapidly in the region where it crossed from Ethiopia to the Arabian Peninsula.

 Discovering the coffee bean did not stop at this point where monks looked for ways to export this product to monasteries, so they dried it. “They reconstituted these berries in water, ate the fruit, and drank the liquid to provide stimulation for a more awakened time for prayer”(Bellissimo, 2012). After that the coffee bean reached many countries such as Yemen and Turkey.

As a result, Turkey looked for ways to prepare it for the first time by roasting, crushing, then boiling in water to have coffee that we would recognize today.

In the region, Qatar consider as a heights country of having carbon dioxide while North Africa is the lowest.

In the UAE a new solar power plant are been build in Abu Dhabi by company called gemasolar solar company who is backed up by masdar and Spanish engineering firm. The goal of these companies is to produce clean energy. The solar plant works by using the huge mirrors to heat the salt to produce electricity. The company had some difficulty constructing the solar plant one of the challenges was to reflector radiation as possible without wobble also building separate control system. The control system job is managing the heliostat the most difficult part is to build plant out of thousands of cables. But gemasolar doing it previously.
