As the "Global Connections and Disconnections Essay: Stimulants, Sociability, and Coffeehouses" essay on page 555 of your text demonstrates, global entanglements led to new forms of consumption and new forms of leisure among various groups in societies around the world. In the urban centers of Europe, middle class constituents developed an affection for coffee and perhaps even more so, coffee houses where they could socialize while imbibing in this new luxury.

As you analyze them, identify ways in which coffee establishments symbolized the growing economic and political power of European urban middle classes. Also identify how these artists depicted coffee consumption and coffee houses. Why was coffee consumption controversial?
