Christopher Phillip, Socrates Cafe (New York: W.W. Norton, 2001)

Pythagoras of Samos never had a latte; Socrates never sipped a macchiato; and Aristotle thought great thoughts, but never qualified a red eye. Anne Conway may have been familiar with coffee, but was probably not an imbiber, because during her lifetime coffee was still relegated to the English apothecary as an exotic headace remedy.
