Synopsis:
Coffee. America’s salvation. Or is it? Coffee has been
grown for production for centuries. Once revered as a drink served only
to royalty—and later thought worthy only of the peasantry—today it is
hailed by people around the world as an undeniably satisfying drink.
Yet only lately have doctors and researchers come to understand what it
is about coffee that makes it so popular. The Official
Coffee-Drinker’s Handbook delves into the history, the popularity,
the health benefits, the potential health hazards, the economic impact,
and the social ramifications of coffee drinking. Loaded with plenty of
“I didn’t know that” facts and interesting tidbits of coffee-abilia,
it’s the only book you’ll ever need to read before feeling qualified to
say, “Can I offer you a cup of coffee?”
From brewing techniques and roasting one’s own beans to
flavored coffees and using coffee in cooking, this book is a must for
all coffee aficionados everywhere.
