Why symbol of java is coffee cup?

Answer 1

There's no consensus on how coffee got the nickname "a cup of joe," but there are a bunch of theories, some way more plausible than others. The most likely is that other nicknames for coffee—"java" and "mocha"—got smushed into one word, "jamoke," which got shortened to "joe" over time.

The next theory in terms of plausibility is that "joe" has a long history of standing in for the common man, and since coffee came to be the common, everyday beverage, the two were a natural fit.

There are other popular theories—like the one claiming "joe" is an homage to Josephus Daniels, who banned alcohol on Navy ships in the early 1900s and thus sparked an uptick in coffee consumption among the crews—but they're not very well proven.

Answer 2

Coffee has been called many things in America. Joe, Java, mud, murk and Jamoke.

Poplar theories abound. The word Joe for coffee has two seemingly reasonable possibilities.

In 1860 a popular song of the times was "old black Joe" written by Stephen C. Foster the same man who wrote "Camp town races" and "Oh! Suzanna". Diners of the time picked up the slang 'Cup O Joe'.

Another possible answer could be that Secretary of the Navy, Joseph Daniels banned alcohol from US Navy warships in 1913 and sailors began drinking more and more coffee and calling it 'Joe'.

Answer 3

"The original javas and mochas-in fact, all important coffee at one time-were arabicas. But Mocha has practically gone out of business, and Java was forced long ago by mass destruction of its arabica plantings from leaf rust to substitute more disease-resistant robustas. Nowadays, some high-grade arabicas are called java and mocha even though they may be grown elsewhere." REFERENCE http://www.nationalgeographic.com/coffee/article3.html Mocha Java is regarded as the first coffee blend. Mocha is grown in the mountains of Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula. Java is from the island of Java in Indonesia. The name has evolved from this and has come to represent coffee in general.

Answer 4

"Cup of joe" is an American nickname for coffee. The phrase goes back to the mid-1840s, and is of unclear origin, though it is possibly short for "Old Black Joe," the title of a popular Stephen Foster song. In any case, it predates Josephus Daniels, the Secretary of the Navy who banned the serving of alcohol on ships in 1914.

Another possible origin lies in the birth of America's taste for coffee, which developed in the 19th century after tea was no longer available from British merchants. The phrase may have come into the American English language via a misunderstanding of the French word chaud, which means "hot" and is pronounced similarly.

Answer 5

The term â??joeâ?? for coffee dates back to the World War I era. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy under Woodrow Wilson, tried to improve the morality of the sailors by banning certain things like prostitution and alcohol on the bases. As a substitute for alcohol, coffee rose in importance and the beverage came to be associated with Daniels. Originally disparagingly called â??A cup of Joseph Danielsâ??, it was soon shortened to â??A cup of Joeâ??.
