I see .... so the world calls it Turkish coffee and it's Turkish coffee. But when the world calls it Genocide, somehow it's propaganda?

I prefer my mud 100x diluted with water and at 10x the cost. Modern day humans call it American Coffee .

It seems as if the turks where 15 centuries late in order to be able to claim this "invention": (and who is to say that the first coffee shop wasn't in fact owned by a Greek, Armenian or J-e-w eh?)...there were certainly more of the former living in Constantinople during this time then there were turks living there. Note - coffee bean first brought to Americas by Jesuits in 16th century...

Ethiopians make the claim (but seem to attribute it to a much youger date...)

On Yemeni origin: (hundreds of years - at least - before arrival of Turks into the vicinity...)
