Coffee was criminal !! pt 7
In Prussia, 1777, Frederick the Great failed to convince the general public that it should exchange their morning java for a morning beer (done so to address concerns of waning beer sales taxes). So in 1781 he made all coffee a royal monopoly and all 'un-regal' coffee became illegal. To enforce the ban he employed disabled soldiers to track down and snuffle out illegally roasted coffees in the villages.
they drank it anyway.

Coffee was criminal !! pt 6
In Sweden, circa 1746, King Gustav III banned coffee completely under the impression that coffee was detrimental to public health. To prove his theory he experimented on imprisoned twins forcing one to drink 3 pots of coffee a day, and the other 3 pots of tea a day, expecting the effects on the coffee prisoner to validate all. However, Gustav III was assassinated before the experiment was over and was never informed of the tea prisoner living to his 80s and the coffee prisoner living even longer! The Swedes had been deprived of coffee for no reason.

Coffee was criminal !! pt 5
King Charles II of England shut down all coffee houses completely and banned the selling of coffee beans altogether in 1675 due to tracing seditious poetry to these sober institutions. The public response was quite severe and, within a week-and-a-half, he reversed his decision. Banning the beverage didn't work.

Coffee was criminal !! pt 4
Coffee was illegal in Istanbul in the 1630s when Murad IV banned it along with alcohol and tobacco. He purportedly policed the enforcement of this himself at times by dressing up in civilian clothes at night and lurking about in various low-end taverns and coffee shops, beheading the transgressors on the spot!

Coffee was criminal !! pt 2
In the 1500s Italy's clerics attempted to ban what they termed 'satanic' ~coffee; when bringing their petition to the Vatican for the pontiff's blessing they were stunned to find Pope Clement VIII considering coffee delicious and suggesting it be baptized. Stalwart clergy still attempted to disparage the drink to their congregations.

Due to concerns that java drinking prompted clear thinking, engendered radical concepts and unified like-minded revolutionaries coffee was verboten in Saudi Arabia (Mecca in particular) around 1511.
