Rao opened his own coffee shop and roastery when he was 22, and was soon selling to over 1000 customers per day.

How is coffee drinking different in Australia to the US? And what is the most popular coffee choice? By the mid-1900s, most baristas were able to provide a variety of coffee drinks such as cappuccinos, macchiatos, and caffè latte, by mixing espresso with different amounts of warmed or frothed milk. Economic booms around the same time meant that Italians were spending more time outside of their homes, and bars became a space to grab a pastry for breakfast or a bite to eat later in the day. It is certain that coffee, ‘that intellectual drink,’ as it was well named at this period, has a direct action on the cerebral mass, as is well attested by physiology, and confirmed by the example of celebrated men who have used or abused this drink. All the world, we mean all those who have partaken of true coffee, have observed the effects of this liquid on themselves. On taking this drink one feels the sentiment of well being and hope; melancholy is dissipated; one feels capable of doing, because of a condition of strength. Coffee is truly a brain stimulant. Under its influence conception is clearer and animation more prompt. Imagination does not appear to be put in motion, while memory and the will are mostly benefited by this cerebral disturbance. For some coffee is a poison that acts upon the central nervous system; more particularly upon the cerebral lobes … It acts then in the manner of alcohol, but in an inverse sense. Alcohol and opium produce congestion of the brain. Coffee determines, to the contrary, an anaemia of that organ. Still this theory is far from being absolutely proved.”[3]
