Description

"How did coffee redefine the experience of metropolitan life? This wide-ranging history tells the story of the coffee-house, from its emergence in London in the mid-seventeenth century to today's spectacular growth of coffee-bar chains such as Starbucks."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

Anchoring below the customs house steps at Constantinople on the evening of 28 September 1610, the Armado, out of Simo, a Greek sponge divers' bark not much larger than a Gravesend wherry, must have made a singularly unimposing impression on the officers of the Sublime Porte.
