As an American, Jean-Paul Lorimer was always annoyed or embarrassed, or both, every time he arrived at Vienna\u2019s international airport. The first thing one saw when entering the terminal was a Starbucks kiosk. <\/p>\n

The arrogance of Americans to sell coffee in Vienna! <\/p>\n

With such a lurid red neon sign! <\/p>\n

Dr. Jean-Paul Lorimer, Ph.D.\u2014a very black man of forty-six who was somewhat squat, completely bald, spoke in a nasal tone, and wore the latest in European fashion, including tiny black-framed glasses and Italian loafers in which he more waddled than walked\u2014had written his doctoral thesis on Central European history. <\/p>\n

Dr. Lorimer also knew that after the siege of Vienna in 1683, the fleeing Turkish Army left behind bags of <\/p>\n

Kolschitzky promptly opened the first coffeehouse. It offered free newspapers for his customers to read while <\/p>\n

they were drinking his coffee, which he refined by straining out the grounds and adding milk and sugar. <\/p>\n
