It is possible that my personna could have drunk coffee that he developed
a taste for in the Holy Lands. Being of high enough rank and wealth to
afford small quantities of the valuable substance he could have had coffee
on an infrequent basis as a personal treat. Rather like someone of today
would have a brandy or fine cigar. If I did put this into a personna thing it
would be an idiosyncrasy of Gunthar's. I would suspect that when he
offered it to friends they would (politely) gag and spit it out. Remember
that Gunthar, like me, enjoys being a little eccentric.

Thank you. I was so proud because I designed it myself and it passed the
first time through. The same for my name except I had to change "GunthEr"
to "GunthAr" to remain Swedish.
