Thanks for the interesting alternate quote. Either way, the Pope had it right!

Hi Sweetie! I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with the growth of yr site. This new format looks professionally terrific, and the content/tags/ links are flushed out in ways that are wonderfully inviting to the reader/browser — and, hopefully, to the trade.

Congratulations on a job well done!

Miss seeing you next door,

Interesting. From a different source, this quote is attributed to Pope Clement VIII, and adds “We shall fool Satan by baptizing it, and making it a truly Christian beverage.”

Wow, this is the best post to the blog so far. I never knew that the instant coffee actually comes from a different type of coffee bean! I never liked drinking it as coffee…now I know that there is a basis for my snobbery No wonder it’s used to flavor all the products we know and love, from ice cream to soda and candy.

Hey Johnny,

When in Greece, I enjoyed the ‘Turkish’ style of brewing coffee (the Greeks of course call it ‘Greek’ coffee.) They would put the coffee, sugar and spices in a special narrow pot, bring it almost to boiling and serve it thick and foamy in tiny cups. Supposedly, your future could be read in the pattern the grounds made in the bottom of the empty cup.

The spices are what it’s about. I don’t know what the mix was, but cardamon was the important one. Today, my wife Stacey puts a dash of cardamon in our coffee to neutralize any acidity. We put so little you hardly taste it, but it adds a nice something.

Great blog!

In Berlin last week, I was re-introduced to “traditional turkish coffee” brewed by my friend Ceylan (pronounced “jaylan”), Turkish by ancestry, German by birth.

I have no idea how much brewing may have changed since the 17th century ban on coffee houses, but what Ceylan cooked up was some of the best coffee I’ve ever tasted.

The drink is not much like espresso and nothing like American brewed coffee. It’s much more chocolaty, musty, and rich, with none of the bitter after-tones of even my favored Mocha Java espresso.

Following the desert-time drinking comes coffee ground fortune telling. Apparently, that’s also a tradition. My reading was terrific.

best,
