The Enemy of Sweden
As popular as coffee is in the modern world, it wasn’t always seen as a good thing. Multiple governments in the 18th century tried to outlaw coffee because they believed it stimulate “radical thinking” (in all fairness, we’ve all encountered at least one person hopped up on coffee saying insane shit, so this isn’t too crazy of a reason by 18th century standards).
Though Sweden hated it the most because in 1746 they outlawed coffee and any coffee-related gear. In other words, you’d be breaking the law if you even kept coffee cups around.

The worst time of the day in the office is at 10am when all that morning-coffee comes out again. The smell is terrible, especially since I don't drink coffee at all, despite having spent at least 20 years in a coffeeshop. but that's in the Netherlands.
Fun fact: They're "coffeeshops" because you didn't need a license to open one.
