Abstract

The aim of this paper is to delineate and to analyze the most recurring arguments about coffee consumption in the seventeenth-century England. Among the publications on the drink, priority was given to the set of texts written by doctors and apothecaries, or by authors who directly discussed the medical properties of coffee in their books. In addition to the discussion that pointed out the benefits and disadvantages of using this new product in England, it is necessary to evaluate the space occupied by orientalist images, and how such representations of the Islamic East impacted the debate on coffee consumption.
