Coffee is one of the world's most researched and commonly consumed beverages. Coffee is grown mostly in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, and its trade is the second largest after crude oil, with a value of more than $10 billion. The Rubiaceae family has hundreds of different species of coffee. The two species cultivated for commercial purposes are Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora.

Caffeine, chlorogenic acid, diterpenes, and trigonelline are some of the most frequent bioactive compounds found in coffee.
