The Philosophy of Coffee - Brian Williams

This is a short, entertaining and illuminating introduction to the history and culture of coffee, from the humble origins of the bean in northeast Africa over a millennium ago, to what it is today, a global phenomenon that is enjoyed around the world.

It is the perfect gift for coffee lovers, including chapters on the rise of the coffechouse, legal bans on coffee, Brazil's domination of the world coffee trade and the birth of
the espresso.

BRIAN WILLIAMS blogs about the culture of coffee
at Brian's Coffee Spot. This is his first book.
