A reference for coffee lovers.
January 18, 2026
My love affair with Bacha Coffee began in November 2018.
PJ gave me a birthday trip present to Singapore, where we stayed at Hotel Indigo (now our favourite hotel when in the country); the in-room coffee was Bacha Coffee, and I was hooked from the first cup. Fast forward to today, and my home coffee bar is piled high with the brand's whimsical orange boxes as I get a box (or five) whenever a trip brings me to a location with a boutique.
I saw this book in one such boutique in Doha last year, but didn't get it. Thankfully, the missus - forever my Bacha enabler - sneakily returned to purchase it. And while I can go on and on with my Bacha obsession, let's talk about the book.
Essentially, "Marvellous Moroccan Moka" is a catalogue of Bacha's numerous coffees - from unique single origin ones to their delicious (and quirky) flavoured blends. More than that, though, is the fact that over half the book is a mix of history, geography (including beautiful archival maps), and gorgeous art around coffee. It's great, casual reading for coffee lovers and anyone interested in how the beverage conquered the world (a deliberate word choice, as, with tea, it was spread via trade and colonialism), but even more enjoyable for fans of the brand such as myself.
An average rating not because it's a bad read (far from it) but as it's an extremely niche piece of literature.
The quality of the book itself, on the other hand, is a solid 5.
