- Brazil couldn’t afford to send its athletes to Los Angeles for the 1932 Olympics, so the government loaded them in a ship full of coffee which was sold on the way to finance their trip.
- Coffee was banned in Mecca in 1511. It was believed to stimulate radical thinking and idleness.
- Coffee stays warm longer when you add cream as it thickens the coffee (adds viscosity), so it evaporates slower. Black coffee is darker, so it emits heat faster than lighter-colored coffee with cream.
