@ned @FortyTwo @dcc @gentoobro coffee was first imported in wooden hulled ships, water would get through the hulls and some of the lower commodity goods including coffee beans would get wet and thus wet and moldy so in the interest of profits, the europeans (french/italians) encouraged "dark continental" and in particular "espresso" style coffees because, low and behold there are fucktards like yourself who think dark and high caffeine mold beans passed through an electric iron is a good drink.
