Best Answer

Coffee can be grown in a myriad of countries around the world, and thrive in subtropical climates (between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn). If a country lies within this zone it will most likely be a coffee producing nation.

Africa is typically known as the land where coffee originates from; the legend of Kaldi the supposedly Ethiopian goat-herder is the most common myth of coffee discovery.

Most African coffee is produced in East Africa due to the soil (volcanic origin) and climate (sub-tropical and tropical).

Ethiopia and Kenya are two of the more renowned coffee countries, but other countries, such as Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Cameroon etc. can produce some great coffees as well.

Both Coffea arabic and Coffea canephora are commonly grown here.

Why can't coffee beans grow in Europe?

Arguably, coffee is grown commercially in one little part of Europe. The Canary Islands belong to Spain, are part of the European Union, and are considered by their inhabitants to be part of Europe (although they are off the coast of Africa). A small amount of very high-quality coffee is grown there. So, if we stretch things a bit, we can say that coffee is grown commercially on all of the continents except Antarctica. Most of Europe, however, has too cold a climate for commercial coffee production to be successful, although coffee plants are found in several botanical gardens throughout the continent. It is my understanding, though, that coffee was once grown commercially in southern Italy and Sicily.
