You really can't make this stuff up....

No one could leave Egypt without the Bunns of Joseph, or puns as it were:

Klein's Etymology:

קֵהְוָה f.n. NH coffee. [Arab. qáhwa (= wine; coffee), from Kaffa, Kāfa, a district in the southwestern part of Ethiopia. Arab. qáhwa orig. meant ‘the plant or drink coming from Kaffa’. In Kaffa itself the coffee is called būnō and the Arabs borrowed this word in the form bunn, meaning by it the raw coffee. cp. ‘coffee’ in my CEDEL. cp. also קָפֶאִין, קָפֶה.] Derivative: קַהְוָן.

History Behind the Brand

Over 170 years ago, Jacob Bunn opened his grocery store in a developing Springfield, IL, USA, and a young Abe Lincoln was one of the first customers. That venture grew into Bunn Capitol Wholesale Grocery Company and was later managed by George R. Bunn who founded a beverage equipment division in the late 1950's. Bunn-O-Matic Corporation was officially incorporated as a separate entity in 1963, and since that time has been at the forefront of dispensed beverage equipment manufacturers with a long list of innovations.

One can speculate the Israelites consumed coffee when fleeing Egypt to assist on their long treks. These marches resulted in various foot problems, hence, bunions. (Reaching)
