Did you know that it was only in the 19th century that coffee became a common drink, no longer reserved for the elite alone?
This change in the drink’s “status” had an impact on the art world.
Painters increasingly depicted coffee on canvas as an everyday beverage, accompanying people in various scenes of life.
In France, “Moka” refers to coffees that have passed through the Yemeni port of Moccha, where the first coffee beans were shipped in the 17th century.
But for coffee specialists, mocha refers to an endemic Ethiopian Arabica coffee.
