Have you ever heard the story about how "a cup of joe" was named? I'm about to tell you why coffee is called Joe.
Long ago in ancient times there was a guy named Joe. He was a god. A good god not one of the bad ones. He valued human life. So much so that he had the power to reenergize people. He could replenish the energy in people who were tired both physically and mentally. He would always help humans out when they were feeling depleted or drained. Joe was hailed as a hero to humanity.
Thousands of years later when coffee beans were discovered and made into the drink that we now call coffee people would still refer to coffee as Joe. Because coffee has caffeine which gives people energy. So just like the god Joe coffee was able to reenergize people. So some people till call it "a cup of joe" in tribute to Joe; the god of energy.
Joe was actually close friends with Sparky another of the gods. Sparky and Joe would defend humanity as friends and protect the humans. Unlike some gods. Most gods abuse humans and think of us as inferior beings. But Joe and Sparky weren't like that. They are both good gods.
