Coffee Houses: A Brief History of Fun

From the 2006 UK TV series 'A Brief History of Fun'. How coffee came to England long before Italians had a taste for it. London's 17th century coffee shop boom - and why tea took over as the national drink. Plus the 1950s espresso bar, and the modern revival of coffee shop culture - including a visit to Costa Coffee's roastery. Presented by Dr Matthew Sweet.

If espresso only came in in the 1950s, what kind of coffee did the Italian cafes in Britain before the war sell?

[@mavisemberson8737]

Black Coffee, after dinner type, as in French restaurants
