But whatever its name that cursed Muslim brew or as those nervous Roman prelates of the middle ages called it, coffee is still the most popular drink in the world; especially if prepared as advised by the famous French politician Charles Maurice de Talleyrand "Coffee must be hot as hell, black as the devil, pure as the angel and sweet as love."
