The term may have been [[Neologism|coined]] by Puerto Rican artist, [[Francisco Rivera Rosa]], describing his [[painting]]s of using coffee. The word comes from a combination of the words ''art'' and ''café''. Thus, ''arfé'' is a [[portmanteau]]. It is sometimes spelled arfe and pronounced like "barf" by its critics. This art is also known as simple as '[[Coffee Painting]]' or 'Coffee Art'.

Artists [[Mira Chudasama]] & [[Amita Chudasama]], [[Andrew Saur]] and [[Angel Sarkela-Saur]] also paint with coffee.
