![]() ![]() ![]() This book discusses, in detail, the history of coffee, from its early origins in Ethiopia all the way to the modern speciality industry and the effect of caffeine on health. I thought that there would be no better place to learn more about the history of coffee. Heavily recommended in both books and blogs, and by coffee experts, Mark Pendergrast's Uncommon Grounds is considered one of the best books on the history of coffee. I am continuing to read about how coffee is processed and goes from farm to cup, but I realise that there is a whole other world of coffee to explore: its history. I've been more interested in brewing a good cup of coffee and learning what I need to do to achieve that goal. Up until now, the history of coffee has been a thought in the back of my mind. I have spent months reading books and blogs about how coffee is produced, from how farmers plant coffea plants at origin to how coffee is roasted at commercial roasting firms. Speciality coffee got me interested in the coffee industry. Note: I wrote this blog post before Christmas 2020 and never got around to publishing it at the time. ![]() Uncommon Grounds by Mark Pendergrast Review ![]()
