Coffee is made from the roasted and ground seeds, or beans, of the coffee plant, a tropical evergreen shrub. Coffee is one of the three most-popular beverages in the world (alongside water and tea) and one of the most-profitable international commodities.
Though coffee is the basis for an endless array of beverages, its popularity is mainly attributed to its invigorating effect, which is produced by caffeine, an alkaloid present in coffee.
Coffee contains large amounts of caffeine, whose effects have always been an important element in the drink's popularity. Coffee is consumed by about one-third of the world's population.
