The quote from Bach may have been- Bring me a bowl of coffee before I turn into a goat Or, he could have said both. J.S. Bach's Coffee Cantata - The Original Coffee House Music The Coffee Contata concerns a coffee-drinking daughter and her disapproving father in a struggle over her caffeine habit with coffee references and lyrics like: Mm! how sweet the coffee tastes, more delicious than a thousand kisses, mellower than muscatel wine. Coffee, coffee I must have, and if someone wishes to give me a treat, ah, then pour me out some coffee! The piece was originally performed in Zimmerman's Coffee House in Leipzig. So yes Amos-Coffee and goats really did exist in the 1700's!
