Coffee was discovered in Ethiopia growing wild

Coffee was first consumed by the Ethiopians in the 9th century (800 AD). Legend has it that a shepherd named Kaldi was tending his goats up on the mountains somewhere in Ethiopia. It was a hot day and he was taking a rest. Then he looked up and couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw his goats dancing. Walking over to where they were dancing, he discovered that they had been eating a red fruit (coffee beans). Wondering whether that had caused the goats strange behaviour he consumed some of the ‘fruit’ himself. Sometime later, a local imam (Islamic leader) came along and thought he must be dreaming when he saw Kaldi dancing with his goats! He asked Kaldi what was going on. Kaldi claimed that the ‘red fruit’ had caused him and his goats to start dancing. Trying some for himself, the imam found that this was no regular fruit. The imam then shared the coffee beans with others and its popularity in Ethiopia grew very quickly! That legend is called ‘the legend of the dancing goats’. Whether it is true of not is debated, but it is clear that coffee was consumed by the Ethiopians in the 9th century. So now you know who discovered coffee.

the anchient aztecs, they noticed animals eating the beans then getting lots of energy and staying up really long, so they started letting the royalty use it (why waste a slave, lol) and it really caught on !, now where's my 10 pots of european dark roast coffee !, just to keep my eyes open for a few minuets !
