Rather than take up a lot of bandwidth, please let me recommend the
following scholarly works on the subject.

Ukers, All About Coffee.  I have the second edition available which my
memory says was published in 1934.  This was written to be the bible of the
coffee industry.  It is a scholarly work with a comprehensive bibliography
and photographs of some of the source documents.  The book covers coffee
history, coffee in art and literature, botany, geography, propagation,
cultivation, harvesting and processing.

Hattox, Coffee and Coffeehouses:  The Origins of a Social Beverage in the
Medieval Near East.  I haven't read this one, but it is the primary source
for Cariadoc's arguments.  It was published in 1985.

Cariadoc and I agree on the facts, but I argue for a coffee industry which
began as a luxury trade before coffee became a generally used beverage in
Arabia Felix in the late 15th Century.  Cariadoc argues for the later dates
in Hattox.
