The coffee is prepared in such a way that it makes those who
drink it witty: at least there is not a single soul who,
on quitting the house, does not believe himself four
times wittier that when he entered it.
--Charles de Secondat Montesquieu
On Saturday mornings I would walk to the Flavor Cup or
Porto Rico Importing coffee store to get my coffee.
Often it was freshly roasted and the beans were still warm.
Coffee was my nectar and my ambrosia: I was very careful about it.
I decanted my beans into glass... and I ground them in
little batches in my grinder.
--Larie Colwin
It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung
up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn
and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered
a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook
from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write.
--Ernest Hemingway
Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all

--Alex Levine
Thank you for your coffee, seignor.
I shall miss that when we leave Casablanca.
--Ingrid Bergman
To drink is human, to drink coffee is divine!
--Unknown
After all, coffee is bitter, a flavor
from the forbidden and dangerous realm.
--Diane Ackerman
