It has been a long time since I read the material, and I remember neither sources nor many details, but coffee and choclate were at one time rather important in western european (and particularly british) cultural/intellectual/literary/political history. In the late 17th and 18th centuries each political or literary clique had its own coffee house. Coffee houses in London around 1700 were perhaps very nearly the equivalent of today's maillists.
