:There are a number of sources mentioning Adal and Zeila. You would have to be intellectually dishonest to claim it just appeared in Yemen from Ethiopia out of thin air. The only polity in Africa let alone Ethiopia who had commercial ties with the Rasulids was Adal.

Former good article Coffee was one of the Sports and recreation good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Move

The first European coffee house opened in Venice in 1647.[1]

to a new paragraph and change it to

The first European coffee house outside of the Ottoman Empire opened in Venice in 1647.[2] Within the Ottoman Empire itself, the first coffeehouse opened in 1555 in Tahtakale, Istanbul.[3] Since Tahtakale is to the West of the Bosporus strait, this would likely have been the first coffee house in Europe.

In section ‘History’, second paragraph, first sentence: “as a” should be “a”
[…] archaeological, of coffee as a being consumed before the 15th century. […] R-Roessingh (talk) 21:48, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@R-Roessingh: I think what this was meaning to say was “coffee as a drink” (as opposed to the root or the whole bean being eaten); I’ve updated with that. Andrew Gray (talk) 22:10, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In the section “processing” of this article, the word “caffeol” links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeol. That URL simply redirects back to this article. I would suggest removing the link. Does that make sense? I would perform the edit myself, but I am unable to edit the article, as I am not logged in. — Shrimpifer 2A02:8109:970C:B100:0:0:0:CD5 (talk) 21:09, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I delinked caffeol (the aromatic oil of roasted coffee beans) because it doesn’t have a page on Wikipedia. It probably should have one. Zefr (talk) 21:45, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Scrambleafricaneggs,

I’m writing about your recent edits to the coffee article. The source you quoted says:

> “Ethiopian forests, especially to the west of the Great Rift Valley, abound in wild arabica coffee, but we know very little about the origins of consumption there.¹ Coffee was probably long picked from the wild, and it was used to an increasing extent from the fourteenth century by the Islamized peoples of southeastern Ethiopia. The coffee habit diffused to the Rasulid sultanate in Yemen, which had strong commercial and cultural connections with Muslim kingdoms in Ethiopia. The consumption of coffee spread first around Aden, Mocha, and Zabid during the first half of the fifteenth century.”

However, your edit also mentioned the Adal Sultanate and said it diffused the beverage from there to Rasulid, which does not appear in the cited source. —Ozan33Ankara (talk) 18:57, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
