Here's a whole new insight on that part of the day so common we
usually take it for granted. In 1511 the first of many decrees had
been issued banning coffee consumption, but nothing could halt the
spread of the drink. The replacement for morning soup originated in
Abyssinia, and rapidly made its way via Mecca and Istanbul to
nearly every country-a worldwide epidemic of coffeemania. Coffee
plantations spread over four continents, and coffee became the
subject of political and social conflict on an international scale.
It also created a new institution: the coffee-house-a meeting place
of the various social strata, creating a cultural forum.
Coffee-houses from around the world and down the ages are
introduced and described here in terms of their cultural and
historical significance-the coffee stall, the taverne a la mode,
the coffee salon, the Cafe-Konditorei, the luxury cafe, the
political coffee-house, the artists' cafe, the proletarian
coffee-house, the -migr- cafe, coffee bar, jazz cafe, the cafe
theater and many others. Pour your own steaming mug and take the
time to enjoy this fascinating exploration.
