Description

This is a journey through the history and inner workings of the world's most consumed beverage, with the exception, of course, of water, which nevertheless only slightly surpasses it. A journey that will take us from its mysterious African origins, full of mysticism and legend, to the 21st century, when a teardrop-shaped coffee cup became the first patent from outer space. In an entertaining way, Miguel Ángel Almodóvar and Olga Menéndez present this informative work, as rigorous as it is unconventional, in which they analyze the factors that turned an intriguing, dark, and bitter product into a staple commodity, a lucrative trophy disputed by different nations, and a trigger for wars and revolutions. Truly, no other edible or drinkable item has been able to compete, in terms of its historical journey, with the stormy and intricate path that coffee has followed from its origins to the present day. Furthermore, the volume evaluates in detail everything from the organoleptic, medical, nutritional, and even spiritual virtues of the black infusion to its alleged harmfulness. Everyone will be free to extract from each of these dilemmas the aroma and even the flavor of the synthesis they like best. Is it possible to imagine a world without coffee? Not at all. About that primal act of faith or coffee, this is not a manual for modern baristas, nor a botanical essay on "Coffeum," but rather the fruit of a stubborn desire to enjoy each daily cup as if it were the first... or the last.
