This is a lovely little book about coffee: "the stimulating story of the world's most popular brew". Morton Satin is a molecular biologist who also worked for the UN; he is now the vice president of science and research at the Salt Institute.
The book features anecdotes from his life and travels around the world; but most of all, the book is about coffee. You read not only about coffee's history, but also the agriculture of coffee, how to brew coffee at home, coffee art and advertising, and a lot about the world of cafes and baristas!
I very much enjoyed this book. It's well-written, easy to read and the edition is very nice too. Thick, cream paper, pretty fonts and a section with color photographs.
Verdict: recommended!
Have a good start to the week, always with beauty and a book! xxx
