Summary
"Uncommon Grounds tells the story of coffee from its discovery on a hill in Abyssinia to its role in intrigue in the American colonies to its rise as a national consumer product in the twentieth century and its rediscovery with the advent of Starbucks at the end of the century. A panoramic epic, Uncommon Grounds uses coffee production, trade, and consumption as a window through which to view broad historical themes: the clash and blending of cultures, the rise of marketing and the ?national brand,? assembly line mass production, and urbanization [sic]. Coffeehouses have provided places to plan revolutions, write poetry, do business, and meet friends. The coffee industry has dominated and molded the economy, politics, and social structure of entire countries. Mark Pendergrast introduces the reader to an eccentric cast of characters, all of them with a passion for the golden bean. Uncommon Grounds is nothing less than a coffee-flavored [sic] history of the world."--Publisher website.

Summary
From espresso expert Jason Scheltus, this book will help elevate your morning coffee to absolute brew perfection. Each step of the process from the farm to your mug is unpacked. You'll learn about the properties of beans, like growing conditions, varieties, picking, drying and roasting. Then the real nitty-gritty stuff: grinding, tamping, extraction and manual brewing methods. How do steaming techniques differ between whole milk and soy, or from oat to almond? How to Make the Perfect Coffee tells all. For those playing at home, this book demystifies the inscrutable realm of coffee-paraphernalia.

Summary
"From the earliest days of medicine, doctors have come to many unsound conclusions relating to tea and coffee. Ignorance continued to dominate thinking about these beverages until the beginning of the nineteenth century when caffeine was discovered and chemically defined and then incorrectly classified as a narcotic. In tracing the history of anti-coffee crusaders, Ian Bersten has uncovered bizarre theories based in sexual paradigms from the first health reform movements."--Book jacket.
