Introduction Coffee, Java or Joe whatever it is called thought to be the stuff of Satan and insurrection; coffee has been lambasted throughout history. In the 17th century, Turkish sultan Murad IV banned it for fear that it made subjects disloyal, while King Charles II complained that British coffeehouses were breeding "false, malicious, and scandalous reports." Two books -- an encyclopaedic volume by Pendergrast and a playful romp by Allen -- suggest that Murad and Charles were right about coffee 's potency. With only a little facetiousness, the authors assert that coffee brought about the French Revolution, the poverty of Latin America, and most everything in between. They muster a surprisingly compelling case for their over caffeinated thesis.
Pendergrast, author of For God, Country and Coca-Cola (1994), recounts the story from the berry to the last drop. Folklore has it that an Ethiopian goatherd named Kaldi discovered coffee sometime before the sixth century A.D., when his animals "danced" after nibbling the red berries. By the 16th century, the bean had conquered Turkey, where "a lack of sufficient coffee provided grounds for a woman to seek divorce." In the succeeding two centuries, coffee replaced beer as the drink of choice in Europe. Wired Frenchmen started getting revolutionary ideas; contented beer drinkers, Pendergrast suggests, would never have stormed the Bastille.
Coffeehouses spread during the l920s, when Prohibition shut down bars and sent Americans searching for new places to socialize. Post-war consumerism fuelled the rise of instant coffee, and the hedonistic 1970s spawned a new
