The concept of a golden mean between excess and lack appeared early in Greek writing before being picked up by Aristotle in his Nicomachean Ethics.
And Aristotle's notion of finding virtuous middle ground - between too much or too little of a good thing - might well be applied to coffee, as there are indications that drinking in moderation can help prevent diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
