Can I be not-a-fan of all this looking back?

I am quite sure this cannot be attributed to Muslims as an invention... (drinking coffee maybe, but inventing coffee beans? Lets leave that to God).

God created coffee beans
Muslims found cofee beans
-it was an accidental discovery as in they thought they were cooking berries (but actually they were cokking coffee beans) they then drank it and realised it kept them awake, they then used it for early mourning prayers)
(btw they mentioned it on the 1001 muslim inventions programme)
