Before There Was Tea, There Was Coffee (INeedCoffee.com) (#)
„A 1673 pamphlet entitled The Character of a Coffee-House compared the appearance and flavor of coffee to “Pluto’s diet-drink, that witches tipple out of dead men’s skulls.” The typical coffeehouse, the author alleged, “stinks of tobacco worse than hell of brimstone.” [The pictures below invariably show the patrons of coffee houses with tobacco pipes.] The beverage itself was served in filthy pots and dishes, the landlord only occasionally “scraping off the contracted soot”, which he then simply substituted for ground coffee, “their taste and virtue being so near of kin, he dares defy the veriest coffee-critic to distinguish them.” Above all, the author condemned coffee houses as dens of subversion, where the social classes promiscuously mingled and spread the rumors published in gazettes and pamphlets, where “every little fellow in a camlet [a kind of outerwear] takes upon him to transpose affairs both in church and state, to shew reasons against acts of parliament, and condemn the decrees of general councils.”“

„Depending on what style of drink you are in the mood for, there are various ways to prepare these flavorful concoctions. If you want a strong flavor profile, order a blended ice coffee drink made from a cold toddy base or one prepared with a shot of espresso. If you are looking for a beverage with a milkshake-type consistency, rich in flavor and the taste of coffee, order a drink made from a mix that uses coffee as its base. To make these drinks at home, simply add milk and water to a mix you purchase from your local retailer.“

„Investing in a coffee grinder, instead of buying pre-ground mix, is an excellent way to savor the flavor day to day. The sooner you use the fresh ground the more flavorful your cup will be.“

„The drip method of brewing can make excellent coffee if you use gold or nylon permanent filters. Permanent filters allow the flavor molecules to pass through without adding unwanted flavors (assuming you clean the filters after each brew). We're less enthusiastic about paper filters, because paper filters leave a papery taste in the coffee.“

„Espresso is a superior coffee method due to the pressurized brewing water, combined with a short brewing time, separating out undesirable flavors and excess caffeine from the sweet coffee flavor. It is a world unto itself offering the coffee lover repeated trips to the "bar" without stomach upset or over caffeination occurring.“
