A Social Gathering Around Coffee

“….By 1900 German Hausfrauen (housewives) had established a pleasant custom of their own. Because they weren’t welcome in public coffeehouses, the ladies gathered together in small groups at one another's houses to sip coffee and talk. A mid-afternoon gathering of women thus became to be known as a Kaffeeklatsch- a combination of Kaffee, the term coffee, and Klatsch, or gossip.
     Once the coffee habit had become firmly entrenched in German culture, no government bans- and no prohibitions against women in coffeehouses- could destroy Germany’s love of the beverage. ….”

(Confessions of a Coffee Bean, Marie Nadine Antol, 2002)
