    Let’s talk about coffee as a stage for ideas.

    In 17th–18th century Europe, coffeehouses weren’t just places to wake up — they were hubs of revolutionary thought.
    In Paris, Vienna, and London, philosophers, poets, and rebels all gathered to drink, debate, and dissent.

    🎭 You could argue that democracy, literature, and modern art were all at least a little caffeine-fueled.

    And then came Italy, where espresso redefined everything:

    • Fast, focused, powerful

    • Served standing up, no lingering

    • Precision and pride in every cup

    It’s a performance, not just a pit stop.

    Which café in the world would you love to write your novel in?
