Discovering Coffee
Life on our planet is sustained by a magically energizing drink called “COFFEE.” It loyally accompanies us through the day, generously giving up its energy and warmth and changing the lives of people in every corner of the globe.
A really good read about coffee, without the usual tired recipes and myths about frisky goats, is a rarity in today’s Internet age and, after reading this book, we think you will agree it is that happy exception.
“Coffee Discoveries” is the first in a wholly unique series of “Tales of a Coffee Expert.”
The book brings together tales by an enthusiast who has dedicated his life to coffee. It will reveal to coffee lovers why the coffee tree needs caffeine, and how coffee can be used to forecast the weather. Who is “The Virgin of Coffee” and what exactly is Speciality Coffee? Is coffee a drug? Is it an allergen? How does it combat free radicals? Why should smokers drink more coffee, and how can liqueur coffee be used to treat stroke victims? How did coffee help perfect the sailboat, and how might drinking coffee save your life?
The author is a great coffee expert, an experienced coordinator of the Speciality Coffee Association of Europe, and has traveled the length and breadth of the coffee globe. First and foremost, however, he is a man in love with coffee, with a lot to tell and an engaging ability to tell it simply and clearly.
Here you will find fascinating tales, interesting new facts about coffee, and a wealth of wonderful photographs.
Readers of the Russian edition relate that reading this book has completely changed their appreciation of coffee.
No coffee lover can afford to be without it.
