Coffee was first introduced to Europe in [[Hungary]] when the Turks invaded Hungary at the [[Battle of Mohács]] in [[1526]]. Within a year, coffee had reached [[Vienna]] by the same Turks who fought the Europeans at the [[Siege of Vienna (1529)]]. Later in the 16th century, coffee was introduced on the island of [[Malta]] through slavery. Turkish Muslim slaves had been imprisoned by the [[Knights of St John]] in 1565—the year of the [[Great Siege of Malta]], and they used them to make their traditional beverage. [[Domenico Magri]] mentioned in his work [[Virtu del Kafé]], "Turks, most skillful makers of this concoction." Also, the German traveler Gustav Sommerfeldt in 1663 wrote <br />
"the ability and industriousness with which the Turkish prisoners earn some money, especially by preparing coffee, a powder resembling snuff tobacco, with water and sugar." Coffee was a popular beverage in Maltese high society—many coffee shops opened.</div>FuzzyBot
