Coffee Was Banned in Three Continents at Different Points in History. The Reasons Were Always Political.
Mecca in 1511, London in 1675, Prussia in 1777. Each time, a different authority decided coffee had to be stopped. Each time, the official reason was something other than the real one. The drink was never the problem.
