Not only me, but Bach was the coffee fallen through and through. However, the good stuff was still very expensive and you drank coffee no bucket at home, but in a cafe. Bach went so several times a week at the Leipzig Zimmermansche cafe. There was his "Coffee Cantata" in 1732 also (probably) premiered.

The fact that his cantatas in the rule of God-devoted homage and if this was not the case at least the authorities can not close only the usual tricks, but also suggest how hot it was on the brew ... ..

The text is from Bach's master poet Picander (= pseudonym. His real name , Christian Friedrich Henrici) and continues to play a little drama: a father, Mr. routine, wants to ban his daughter, Liesgen, drinking coffee. But she is being stubborn. Only when the father promises her that she must marry in return, she agrees, distributed but in her heart the message that she will only marry a man she not pure babbles in their drinking habits:

egg! how the coffee tastes,
Lovely tastes than a thousand kisses, Milder than
Muscat wine.
Coffee, coffee I must have
And if someone wants to refresh me, gives
Oh, so me a Coffee!

In this sense I wish all good thirst! :)
