It's not so much that it is the best, pekau, but simply that Latin America is the largest exporter of coffee. The perception of best comes mostly from marketing. The homeland of coffe is indeed in Ethiopia.

I heard that the best ones are still in Ethiopia.
When I saw this thread I thought maybe S.A. stood for Saudi Arabia.. :)

Coffee taste pretty much the same to me worldwide. It's not exactly gourmet drink and not exactly rocket science in the production of. The modern coffee phenomena is the over intellectuallisation of a quite limited drink, as a marketing strategy by corperations.

Not a siamese cat. A civet cat. It is not actually a cat at all, it is some sort of raccoon.
They do not make coffee of the sh*t. The coffee beans are not digested by the cat, it eats the berries and just passes them out more or less whole. They are then washed and grinded to make coffee.
see here for the exact process:
The best coffee, by the way, yes indeed the only real coffee as well as the best, is really really strong coffee. I cannot stand people who drink "decaf latte with non-fat milk and chocolate sprinkles on top". Stop desecrating the beans! Drink effing chocolate milk!

Women hold their councils of war in kitchens: the knives are there, and the cups of coffee, and the towels to dry the tears.

Common!
The best chocolates are made in the Americas, of course. We already have cows to put the milk on .
