Café noir

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Café noir is the name given to the coffee taken after dinner. It is generally made rather strong. Gentlemen sometimes put liquor in it—a glass of brandy, or rum, or kirschwasser; and ladies, a little cold milk. Taken fifteen or twenty minutes after dinner, it helps digestion. It excites the faculties of the mind, and gives what physiologists call "Agreeable sensations."

Coffee is nutritious, and to a certain extent prevents waste of the system.
