Rough coffee was invented in Russia, more precisely in one of Moscow coffee houses. History says that the cult institution offered many types of coffee drinks from natural beans, but one of the regular guests made coffee exclusively according to his own recipe. And the guest was called Raphael. The drink was so loved by Raphael's friends and acquaintances that other guests began to order it often, turning to the barista with a request "I have coffee like Raphael." So Raf coffee appeared.
