Amen, Cheryl. Also, coffee is almost unique as a social lubricant. Where it would be too aggressive to offer a drink and excessively domestic to suggest tea , "Fancy a coffee?" is the perfect opening gambit to a relationship.
Lots of laughs as I read about your world history of coffee. But after a well-stocked bookstore with used and new books, the second place I must have when I travel is a warm, well-lighted coffeehouse!!
