In ancient Egypt, kitchens were equipped with a built-in in-house coffee roasting station. The Egyptians were known for their love of coffee, and they developed a unique method of roasting coffee beans right in their kitchens. The roasting station consisted of a small clay oven, where the beans were placed and roasted over an open flame. The roasted beans were then ground and brewed to make a rich and aromatic cup of coffee. The Egyptians believed that coffee had various medicinal properties and used it as a stimulant to stay alert and focused during long working hours.
