Tips on Coffee - The Devil's Cup: Coffee, the Driving Force in History (#)

  „Traveling by train, dhow, rickshaw, cargo freighter and donkey, Allen follows the trail coffee took as it spread around the planet. Along the way he offers a running commentary on (and makes an intriguing case for) 19th century French historial Jules Michelet's theory that Europes transformation into a coffee-drinking society led to the birth of enlightened Western civilization. Allen takes everything in stride and he has the rare ability to capture his characters' unsavoriness without denigrating them. The Devil's Cup coveys a surprisingly thorough history of coffee in an entertaining package that no one could mistake for a textbook.“

  „   Starbucks' size and influence make it a huge magnet for both positive and negative attention and commentary in the United States, but in Costa Rica, the company is now the single largest buyer of coffee altogether, purchasing serious quantities at excellent prices and supporting quality on a vast scale. Fulmer and Williams both made it clear that those who call themselves specialty roasters have an obligation to pay fair prices if they and their customers want to drink great coffee. They sent a clear message that those (be they large institutional or short-sighted micro-roasters) who delight in today's low C market are voting for misery and social unrest at origin and shrinking coffee consumption at home.“
