Specialty coffee in Rome

Coffee came into Europe through Rome and came within a hair of being banned here - courtiers pressed Clement VIII to condemn the drink of the infidels. The pope had a cup poured for himself first, tasted it and declared it a shame to leave something this good to the heathens alone. Legend says he baptized the beans, and only then could Catholic Europe drink coffee with a clear conscience. Everything standing on your counter today has a Roman blessing four hundred years old.
