Amazon Summary
The New York Times Bestseller “There aren’t many books this entertaining that also provide a cogent crash course in ancient, classical and modern history.” ― Los Angeles Times Beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and Coca-Cola: In Tom Standage’s deft, innovative account of world history, these six beverages turn out to be much more than just ways to quench thirst. They also represent six eras that span the course of civilization―from the adoption of agriculture, to the birth of cities, to the advent of globalization. A History of the World in 6 Glasses tells the story of humanity from the Stone Age to the twenty-first century through each epoch’s signature refreshment. As Standage persuasively argues, each drink is in fact a kind of technology, advancing culture and catalyzing the intricate interplay of different societies. After reading this enlightening book, you may never look at your favorite drink in quite the same way again.

A great look at coffee house culture at the time is in Tom Standage's A History of the World In 6 Glasses. At this time, coffee houses were the place to be. https://www.amazon.com/History-World-6-Glasses/dp/0802715524
