"This is for the coffee nerd in your life. . . . It's jam-packed
with information. I don't think I have read a book this information
dense and yet still incredibly readable possibly ever. A great
little book that I recommend highly. If you want a ton of history,
a ton of information, a ton of background on coffee, this is a
great gift."--James Hoffmann, author of "The World Atlas of Coffee"

"The potential problem with any book about the history of coffee is
that it might well cover a vast amount of things that people in the
trade know already, and in a dry academic way. This one does cover
all the expected history, but the enjoyable part of it is the
entertaining sidelines which crop up here and there. . . . This
little book is full of such gems. Coffee history does not have to
be a dry subject!"-- "Beverage Standards Association
Newsletter"
"With an engaging eye for detail the author explains how this dark
and bitter beverage conquered the planet. . . . [A] fascinating
read."-- "OxVeg News"
"Written by a professional historian, it is well structured to
provide a clear explanation as to how this beverage has become
widespread and popular across the world. It is full of fascinating
information. . . . This is a book that provides a good amount of
detail, but is still an easy read. . . . The history of coffee is
not one that we would often consider, but it is good to learn more
about the development of a drink that for many is an important part
of their lives."-- "Methodist Recorder"
