The article states that the first instant coffee was invented by someone called George Washington in 1909 but then later under the instant coffee section it is stated that instant coffee was invented by David Strang in 1890 ~2025-31727-89 (talk) 18:50, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good eye! Washington was an inventor who is credited with key aspects of the commercial process, but is definitely not the first to invent the product itself. I updated the wording. DMacks (talk) 19:38, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have no citation for this but only my experience, seeing qahwah made in Saudi Arabia, was that it was made from ground but unroasted green beans and the resulting liquor was also pale green in colour. That seems to go against the article's statement that the name means 'the dark one'. p.r.newman (talk) 02:06, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Socialwave597, the Kaldi story is sourced, but scholars treat it as legend and its earliest written attestation dates to 1671. Coffee use and transmission are documented earlier, in 15th–16th century sources, so under Wikipedia chronology it should follow the historically attested material. Per WP:UNDUE and WP:NPOV, myth or legendary material should not precede the historical summary, doing so reduces coverall article quality imho. Also, could you explain your other edits [1]? --CoffeeKings (talk) 19:30, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:UNDUE and WP:NPOV actually never says that, it says nothing about how Wikipedia paragraphs should be ordered. Where does it say anything about Wikipedia chronology? And what is the problem with my other edits? Socialwave597 (talk) 15:59, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
