Coffee and Cafés of Amsterdam (#)
„But even though Amsterdam, along with London, was one of the twin centres of the early worldwide coffee network, consumption at home was generally the quick and bitter fix that became the standard fare for caffeine starved workers.

The entrepreneurial spirit of the Dutch, however, knew a good thing when they sniffed it. The mad growth of 'designer' cafes in America made coffee part of the youth culture and gave it a new kind of glamour.“
