The first cup Of coffee was drunk In
Europe nj Venice toward the end OF
the sixteenth century. The Venetian
chronicier Morosinl In his records of
the events In the year 1885 mentions
the beverage called 'cavec' drunk by
the Turks and noted for It's antl-sopo-
rife qualities. In the year 1891 a
Venetian doctor introduced the berries
from Egypt taught his countrymen
how 10 crush them and brew the bcv-
erage. and the use Of coffee soon he
came general-so much SO. In fact. that
Venice was full OF coffee houses where
the people idlcd away their days drink
Ing the aromatic beverage. A pecul-
iarity Of the Venetian coffee houses
was that their patrons did not pay for
each cup Of coffee they drank. but
settled their bills for all the coffee
consumed at the end OF each year.
The regular price Of cup OF coffee
was 2 soldi. about ~ cents. and In
some Of the old cafes ~ Venice today
the same price is stil charged.-New
