The Ottoman authorities were quite suspicious about coffee in the early days (~15th century); no doubt it had some connotation of alcohol as well as of Arabic obstinacy.
What happens if together with all the great reforms, legalization of coffee doesn't take place?
The following seems almost sure: It will continue to be consumed in secret;
it will also spread to Europe, only slower and in lesser supply;
and although Europe will find little against this new drink, it will retain an aura of wickedness - making it a luxury even more expensive and - for the sober and decent - not worthwhile. At the same time, some of the wealthiest people of Italy will become fanatic for this stuff ...
How will this all end?
