Around the 16th century, coffee was introduced to Europe from the Ottoman kingdom. Europeans quickly discovered the social and medicinal benefits of the "Arab drink" during the dark Middle Ages.

In Europe, many new concepts about coffee have been formed such as "Homo Coffea" (Coffee Human) “Societas Coffea” (Coffee Society) symbolizing a change of life, a break with the past and a move straight to the future. Coffee became a source of energy for intellectual movements and the Renaissance movement.

Roman coffee civilization, also known as the coffee civilization which represents Western scientific and technological applications, has been famous since around the 17th century.

If the Ottoman civilization processed and prepared coffee entirely by hand, the coffee was finely ground and boiled, then the Italians invented a machine that used steam pressure to extract pure essence and aroma of coffee beans in the fastest time. The term Espresso was born and entered the Italian dictionary with the meaning "Coffee that can be served immediately and just for you".

Coffee contributed to bringing Western European society at that time out of the situation of being flooded with yellow - black - white beer that lasted for dozens of centuries, opening up the period of Enlightenment, laying the foundation for the first industrial revolution along with the rapid development of scientific and technical applications.
