There are various resources of coffee history.

The first one is mentioned in coffee history legend. According to the legend, an Arabian named Kaldi found bright red cherries shrub. Kaldi realized his goat became hyperactive after eating the red “cherries” from a certain plant when they changed pastures. This shrub was causing peculiar euphoria and he found the red cherries have very powerful effect after tried it. The effect discovered and exploited by monks by local monastery. They used the effect of red cherries to stay awake during extended hours of prayer and distributed to other monasteries around the world.

Another resources from botanical evidence stated that coffee began on the plateaus of Ethiopia and brought to Yemen in 6th century. This proved by introduction of the first coffee houses in Cairo and Mecca coffee became a passion rather than just a stimulant. The Galla tribe used coffee before, but not as a drink. They would wrap the beans in animal fat as their only source of nutrition while on raiding parties. However, the Turks country was the first country adopt it as a drink.
