I remember coffee in 1960, it will take another 50 years to forget it.
We drank 'Camp Coffee,' an extract of effulent and rats testicles, and we pretended to enjoy it.
Lyon's Corner house cafes sold milk and a dash, usually the dash was made from poor quality robusta and yes we loved it.
Soho started the fashion for coffee bars, drinking ditch water in colourful company was hip.
None of you younger members will ever suffer as we did on the long and painful journey to the totally different drink we love today.

yes - thank you for this clip! Excellent!
Some of those cups do look a bit suspicious, though...

I thought that was excellent. I shall be stealing some of the audio from that for future childish mashups in videocasts.

Love it. Mad bath foam milk though! Interestingly often themed too .... no coffee houses for the sake of decent coffee as we have now in places. Fab old lever Gaggia too

Haha my thoughts exactly. Listen out for a dubstep tune near you with coffee bar themed samples...
