Ok ok now you all must remember that if todays folks were to drink real
coffee you would gag as from what I have seen and talked to people it was
very thick and sweet.....the best was so thick you could stand a spoon in
it....not like the colored water drank today....now that is only what I have
been told and read please know my library is packed so cannot get the
reference......

My lady, you might be interested in glancing at this file in the
BEVERAGES section of Stefan’s Florilegium:
coffee-msg        (29K) 10/23/97    Coffee and coffee-type drinks.

I believe you may find that there wasn’t just one kind of coffee drink
in period just as there isn’t today. Hmm. This is a good reminder that
perhaps I should check out some of these other coffees. The one time 
I tried the usual modern coffee drink I decided it was too watery and 
not worth considering further. But I like coffee ice cream.
