Title: An Unexciting Potporri on Origins and Uses of Coffee
Product review: After reading books on this subject by Thorn and Kummer it was a real disappointment to me to find that this so-called "ultimate guide" fell far short. If your interest lies more in the way coffee is served and consumed here and in other countries this may hold your interest. (The author's dissertation on U.S.practices manages somehow, even there, to omit any references to the influence of the key people at Peets, Starbucks, and Allegro, for example.) It is far too shallow for my taste in the areas of coffee selection by type and location (pros and cons) and blending techniques.
