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

„To his credit, Allen, who claims he can tell in a sip that the coffee in a particular Ethiopian town is adulterated with smuggled Zairian Robusta beans, wisely avoids the overworked topic of Starbucks and its bid for a global latte empire. Mark Prendergast's social history, Uncommon Grounds (Forecasts, May 17), is more of an omnibus survey of the bean, but Allen's quirky insights more than make up for any scholarly shortcomings. Call it gonzo gastronomy: the work strikes just the right balance between the frenetic praise of a bug-eyed caffeine freak and the informed observations of a true connoisseur. (Oct.)

Amazon.com: Books: Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World (#)

„Since its discovery in an Ethiopian rainforest centuries ago, coffee has brewed up a rich and troubled history, according to Uncommon Grounds, a sweeping book by business writer Mark Pendergrast. Over the years, the beverage has fomented revolution, spurred deforestation, enriched a few while impoverishing the many, and addicted millions with its psychoactive caffeine. Coffee is now the world's second most valuable legal commodity, behind oil, according to Pendergrast, who is also author of For God, Country, and Coca-Cola .“

„Uncommon Grounds by Mark Pendergrast. Subtitled "The History of Coffee and How it Transformed Our World" this is a recent work that is extremely broad in its vision. It not only provides the colorful, illustrious history of our favorite beverage (and is loaded with neat trivia), it also seeks to provide context to the when, what and why of the coffee culture from past to present.“

„One thing Don did was introduce me to the writer of the excellent book Uncommon Grounds. That book is, of course, written by Mark Pendergrast, and I got a chance to talk to him a bit about the book, how much I liked it and we ended up talking about CoffeeGeek a bit. Mark was very intrigued by the site, one he hasn't seen yet, and even mentioned an offer of writing a review or two for the website, on coffee-related books.“

Global Exchange : Coffee is grounds for initiative (#)

„"This is creating awareness of the issues, and the issues are enormous," said Orrel Lanter, owner of the Uncommon Grounds roastery in Berkeley, who has actively supported efforts to raise consumption of organic, fair-trade and shade-grown beans. "But should people go to jail for brewing a politically incorrect type of coffee?" she asked. "I don't think so."“

CoffeeGeek - Coffee Books (all) - Mark Prince's Review (#)

„Uncommon Grounds, by Mark Pendergast is a detailed account of the world of coffee commerce, especially in the United States. Filled with details on famous yet long gone coffee barons and princes, the book is probably not of very much interest to the general public, but any serious coffee hound or coffee professional can get a lot out of this book.“

„Yesterday I'm at the grocery store, and I'm sort of in between coffees (got some Organic Timor coming from Uncommon Grounds in Berkeley, but it won't arrive till later in the week). I'm pretty cheap, as a rule, so I figure I might as well give 8 O'clock's 100% Columbian a try, as I've read good reviews of it at Consumer Reports.“
