More about the book
Offered here is a fascinating brew of java lore―from coffee's exotic origins as a holy drink, trusted medicine, forbidden bean, and smuggled treasure to its mass consumption in cafés patronized by poets, artists, students, travelers, and revolutionaries. A stimulating collection of quotations and anecdotes is also on the menu, as is a tasteful account of the coffee-making process―from the hills of Costa Rica to your kitchen counter. All in all, this rich blend of legend, history, anecdote, and fact is a mouth-watering tribute to our favorite beverage.
