Having conquered the world's taste buds and established itself as a
staple in our daily lives, coffee has mirrored the moods and
movements of society for centuries - yet, how much do we know about
its history? In his riveting new book, A Short History of Coffee,
Gordon Kerr investigates the fascinating history behind the global
obsession with coffee, from its Ethiopian origins, the legends,
myths, geographical locations and somewhat eccentric characters
that have helped make it the staple that it is today. Proliferating
in high streets, towns and cities across Europe, coffee has become
increasingly popular in recent years, and has succeeded in creating
new and exciting hubs of commerce, news and debate, where deals
could be done and revolution could be incited. Yet, despite
coffee's very modern role, its origins stretch back to the days of
intrepid travellers and merchants, who told tales of this new and
exotic beverage that uplifted and enlivened the drinker. Following
the growth in popularity through to the 21st century explosion of
coffee shop culture, A Short History of Coffee lifts the Vegware
lid on both the business of coffee, as well as the pleasures that
it brings its drinkers. Gordon Kerr masterfully balances an
exploration of the history of this iconic beverage, whilst also
delving into the frothy brew of business, politics, and money that
accompanies it.
