Amazon.com: Books: Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World (#)
„Or that coffee supplanted alcohol as a favorite breakfast drink in Britain in the late 1600s, and later became a patriotic American beverage after the Boston Tea Party? Pendergrast also details the rise and fall of regional coffee brands in the United States, the role of advertising in the industry, the global economic impact of coffee prices, and the recent emergence of specialty-coffee retailers--Starbucks, for example. Finally, he explores the social and environmental ramifications of coffee and highlights recent attempts to encourage a livable wage and environmental protection in coffee-producing nations such as Brazil. Pendergrast also includes an appendix on "how to brew the perfect cup." This wide-ranging book is a good read for those curious about the history and context behind that morning cup of coffee, as well as for those strictly interested in the business side of the industry.“

Review of Uncommon Grounds by Mark Pendergrast
„In the 1930's, while 98 percent of American families were coffee drinkers -- including 15 percent of children between 6 and 16 years of age and 4 percent of children under 6 -- my family swigged only Postum and Sanka. We believed C. Post's warnings that caffeine disintegrated brain tissue by attacking the pneumogastric nerve.“

„Is anyone out there jumping on the Yerba Mate (South American herbal tea-drink) trend and serving or selling this beverage? I'm not a coffee shop owner, I'm a journalist, and I'm trying to locate people to talk to about the sudden popularity of this drink. You can contact me thru the forum, or at HildaB@mindspring.com .“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„Australia is paved with Italian-style caffes and Japan has evolved its kisatens, an elegant interpretation of American 1950s-style coffee shops and coffeehouses. In Great Britain, the espresso-bar craze of the 1950s came and went, but shows vigorous signs of a Starbucks-style comeback. Other parts of Europe and the Middle East have their own ongoing traditions. In Vienna, the home of the first European coffeehouses, the café tradition has undergone a renaissance.“

„ If what the customer really wants is an iced Americano—the Italian name for the longer style coffees preferred by American tourists—she prepares the drink by pulling the shots into a glass of cold water. Johns also advocates this method, because it keeps the flavor of the espresso intact without exposing it to ice.“
