The debate as to whether Albert Einstein drank coffee has been raging for years. This legendary physicist and scientist, who developed the Theory of Relativity and helped to revolutionize science, is known for his iconic white hair and unruly moustache. He has inspired generations of thinkers and inventors around the world and has been the subject of many movies and books. But did he like coffee?<\/p>\n

Some of his letters and writings mention coffee or coffee-drinking, and some second-hand information suggests that Einstein actually enjoyed the beverage. In one of his letters to his lab assistant, Einstein wrote that he started the day with coffee and ended it with wine. Along with other writings, it suggests that he was fond of the taste of coffee and enjoyed the process of making and drinking it. <\/p>\n

Coffee experts have commented on the subject. Stephen Leighton, founder of Zest Coffee Roasters, believes that Einstein was a sophisticated coffee connoisseur with a love of coffee. He argues that Einstein was familiar with the different coffee-making processes and enjoyed experimenting with coffee beans from different regions. Daniel Visser, a barista for La Colombe Coffee Roasters, agrees that the scientist must have enjoyed coffee, as he was an inquisitive man who loved trying different things.<\/p>\n

However, some of Einstein’s close associates have suggested that he only drank coffee when it was offered to him, and that he didn’t particularly prefer it. According to his secretary, Helen Dukas, Einstein drank coffee mainly out of necessity, as he needed the energy boost. Other anecdotes suggest that the scientist drank coffee only when it was brewed the right way and that he only made it himself when no one else offered it to him. <\/p>\n
