Le bon usage du thé, du caffé et du chocolat is a 1687 French medical treatise by Nicolas de Blégny, printed in Lyon by Thomas Amaulry, on the preservation and cure of illness through tea, coffee and chocolate, written for a general reading public. Its engraved plates show portable coffee and chocolate pots, a tiered tinned warming stand, and the spirit-fuelled vessels for preparing coffee, drawn in precise outline with hatched shading a designer could adapt for vintage kitchenware or period still lifes.
