Bitter and active, [...] it dries without burning—for it is the property of such substances to dissipate superfluous humidity without dangerous heat;there is in coffee, as it were, fire without flame,
a purifying power that does not calcine; coffee reduces impurities:
"those who take it feel by long experience that it restores the stomach, consumes its superfluous humidity, dissipates wind, dissolves the phlegm of the bowels, where it performs a mild abstersion, and what is most considerable, prevents the fumes from rising to the head and consequently reduces the aches and pains customarily suffered there;
finally, it affords strength, vigor, and cleanliness to the animal spirits, without leaving any great impression of heat, even upon the most inured persons who are accustomed to use it."
Francois Doublet, 1785
