Dear father, do not be so strict! If I can't have my little demi-tasse of coffee three times a day, I'm just like a dried up piece of roast goat! Ah! How sweet coffee tastes! Lovelier than a thousand kisses, sweeter far than muscatel wine! I must have my coffee, and if anyone wishes to please me, let him present me with--coffee!
Letter of his daughter to Johann Sebastian Bach
You know Bach's Kaffee Kantate, BMV 211?
Great fun!
