SC - coffe making artifacts

[Charles McCathieNevile]

His Grace Duke Cariadoc asked how coffee-making artifacts differed from 
other artifacts (In response to Bear)

I think I can answer. My coffee grinder differs from an almond grinder in 
that the one for coffee has coffee grounds in it. The almond one doesn't, 
as a rule.

On the other hand, if coffee is known, but expensive and restricted to 
the wealthy, AND there is a small question over whether it is an 
intoxicant, then it is concievable that a person such as Lord Ras (seems 
a slightly odd title, but never mind) would be in the habit of offering 
it to all his guests all the time, just to show what a wealthy and 
generous person e is. Of course one would expect a fair proportion of 
said guests to turn up their noses at this strange sstuf that a mad 
persian makes them drink until their hands shake, their bladders hurt and 
they are unable to sleep for hours, except by going for things clearly 
known to be intoxicants ;)

Tongue firmly in cheek (scraping at cuskynole leftovers. I'll bring some 
under the rock if you like)
