Reviews
Coffee is an inspiration that goes beyond our knowledge, our boundaries, and our limits. Robert Thurston has felt this inspiration since his first visits to coffee-producing countries, and he has put that experience into transformative and knowledgeable words. Now we can taste more than just a cup of coffee; we can envision a coffee farm and, more important, a coffee-farming family. This superb book closes our knowledge gap and makes all of us more sensitive, emotional, and informed about coffee. -- Olga Lucia Cuellar Gomez, S&D Coffee and Tea Conversational and comprehensive, Robert Thurston's blend of entertaining anecdotes, home experiments, and reliable statistics answer with precision the questions asked by coffee enthusiasts. Going beyond thoughtful explanations about `how' the global coffee industry works, Thurston provides satisfying answers on `why' it works and what can be done to make it work better. -- Dan Bolton, STiR Tea & Coffee

Thurston's sophisticated guide to coffee's history, cultivation, and enjoyment will more than satisfy coffee aficionados. * Publishers Weekly * The book is written in a very engaging style, with a feel like the author is talking to the reader, sometimes with details about the author's experiences, or tips for the reader to help them enjoy their coffee. There's a helpful glossary at the end too for some of the key terms and acronyms used throughout the book. A welcome addition to my `coffee library'. * Cafespaces *
