Coffee is a global beverage: it is grown commercially on four
continents, and consumed enthusiastically in all seven. There is
even an Italian espresso machine on the International Space
Station. Coffee's journey has taken it from the forests of Ethiopia
to the fincas of Latin America, from Ottoman coffee houses to
`Third Wave' cafes, and from the simple coffee pot to the capsule
machine. In Coffee: A Global History, Jonathan Morris explains how
the world acquired a taste for coffee, yet why coffee tastes so
different throughout the world. Morris discusses who drank coffee,
as well as why and where, how it was prepared and what it tasted
like. He identifies the regions and ways in which coffee was grown,
who worked the farms and who owned them, and how the beans were
processed, traded and transported. He also analyses the businesses
behind coffee - the brokers, roasters and machine manufacturers -
and dissects the geopolitics linking producers to consumers.
Written in an engaging style, and featuring wonderful recipes,
stories and facts, this book will fascinate foodies, food
historians and the many people who regard the humble coffee bean as
a staple of modern life.
