Description: Coffee is a global beverage: it's grown commercially on four continents and consumed enthusiastically on all seven--and there is even an Italian espresso machine on the International Space Station. Coffee's journey has taken it from the forests of Ethiopia to the Incas of Latin America, from Ottoman coffee houses to "Third Wave" cafe s, and from the simple coffee pot to the capsule machine. In Coffee: A Global History features wonderful facts, stories and recipes to fascinate coffee addicts, food historians and the many people who regard the humble coffee bean as a staple of modern life.
