Over the Teacups

I think we all pray to the first cup of the day. It's a silent prayer, sung while the mind is still foggy and blue. "O Magic Cup," it might go, "carry me above the traffic jam. Keep me civil in the subway. And forgive my employer, as you forgive me. Amen.
STEWART LEE ALLEN
The Devil's Cup
If you are under the age of 30, you may not remember when coffee was only scooped out of a can, dripped from a vending machine or from a lukewarm stainless steel pot in an office break room, and served in a Styrofoam cup or a diner mug. Or when, at least in the United States, coffee was mostly inhaled for its caffeine jolt rather than savored for its exotic flavors, and the only customizations were cream and sugar.

Coffee is the common man's gold, and like gold,
it brings to every man the feeling of luxury and nobility.
Where coffee is served, there is
grace and splendor and friendship and happiness.
All cares vanish as the coffee cup is raised to the lips.

In Praise of Coffee
Coffee reached Western Europe in the third quarter of the seventeenth century, brought by mariners who had acquired a taste for it in the Near East. It was first established at seaports, but spread rapidly to major cities inland. Considered a dangerous stimulant, it was closely monitored by municipal and royal authorities who licensed and taxed its use. They also worried about its association with those citizens who made the new coffee houses into social and political gathering places. Already in 1675, Charles II of England tried to close down the coffee houses as places of sedition (popular pressure made him desist, however), and for the next two centuries they were frequently subjected to government surveillance and suppression.
