IGCGSE-style answer

If your question is asking “in what year was coffee first drunk?” , the best answer is:

Around 850 CE / 9th century

Some sources also describe the first coffeehouse appearing later, around 1475 in Constantinople

Simple distinction

First discovered and likely first drunk: about 850 CE

First coffeehouse: about 1475

Clean exam wording

You could write:

Coffee was first drunk in the 9th century , around 850 CE , in Ethiopia.

Mini note

Your query looks like it may be asking for a history fact rather than a current-news topic. If you need, the answer can also be turned into a one-line IGCSE revision note.
