Unravels the secrets behind coffee, charting the discovery of the bean in Ethiopia more than a thousand years ago, its journey into Arabia where it became a drink favored among Moslems, and then to the growing number of coffee houses in the Ottoman Empire. Brought to Europe by the Venetians, coffee houses sprung up in major continental cities throughout the seventeenth century, around the same time coffee made its way across the Atlantic to America. After the Boston Tea Party, coffee replaced tea as America's favorite hot beverage and became an essential ration for soldiers in the civil, first, and second world wars, going on to be established as the national staple drink
