Summary
Details

A globe-spanning celebration of the bean that fuels modern life. The Way of Coffee: How Coffee Transformed the World, Promotes Happiness & Protects Against Disease traces coffee's journey from Ethiopian hillsides and Yemeni mosques to Ottoman coffeehouses, European ""penny universities,"" and today's specialty roasters.

Drawing on decades in the field, Chris Kilham blends vivid travel writing with clear, accessible science to show how coffee shaped commerce and culture-and why a well-made cup can sharpen focus, elevate mood, and support health.

From plant biology (Arabica, Robusta, Liberica) and processing to brewing rituals, Kona farms, and conservation, this book is equal parts history, handbook, and love letter to a drink that changed the world.
