    I really loved your post, it seems so easy to see everything is it’s written in a table.
    I had no idea coffee was discovered in the 9th century, I knew it was long time ago, but I didn’t know it was so long ago. Lol. I was also shocked to see it comes from the Arabic Peninsula, I don’t know why I had the impression that it came from South America…
    And I was really surprised to read that there was a political feud based on coffee drinking in Constantinople, The reason was because some didn’t agree with drinking coffee or what? Do you have any idea?

      Hello, Ashley.

      Thank you very much for your kind remarks. Yep. You got it! I left it out for the sake of extreme summarization. Will probably write a post about it in the future. It’s already in my TO-DO list.

      Cheers!

    Hey! I really like your website on what has to be one of my favorite beverages! Very interesting timeline, too! You really did your research!

    I remember from World History in college how the Byzantines overran an Ottoman Turk war camp one morning and at the Byzantine fascination with the hot, black liquid they found brewing all over the Ottoman camp. So I, too, am anxious to read about the great coffee feud!

    I like that you provided us with the many different ways of brewing coffee.
    Ever hear of the “sock” method? The ground coffee is placed in a sock, hopefully, a clean one! lol. Then the stock is placed in the water which is in a pot on the stove and heats up. The sock is then tied up above the pot and allowed to drain back into the pot. It sounds nasty but it makes a mean cup of joe.

    Your recipes are also very interesting and blend well with your Amazon interface. Excellent job, my friend!
    Mike
