About this product

Product Information

Full of facts, figures, cartoons and commentary, this book covers coffee from its first use in Ethiopia in the 6th century AD to the rise of speciality retailers in the 1990s. It explores the process of cultivation, harvesting and roasting from bean to cup; surveys the social history of cafe society from the first coffee-houses in Constantinople to Renaissance French cafes, to beatnik havens in Berkeley and Greenwich Village; and tells the story of international trade and speculation. The book also examines the industry's major players, reveals how the quest for higher profits has often come at the expense of quality, and shows how the product has been turned into a lifestyle. Finally, the text considers the exploitation of labour and damage to the environment that mass cultivation causes, and explores the growing conscious coffee market and fair trade movement.

I will not be buying from this seller again. Ad description "very good". Seller did not package and ship hardcover book with the precautions as I expected. As a result, the book arrived damaged.

Had to repurchase the book because the first one arrived badly damaged during transit. I contacted seller 3 times with no response but went ahead and recorder. Seller finally replied after I repurchased the second copy thanking me for my order. So had to buy this book twice and pay shipping twice. Second order arrived in good shape but packing still thin.
