I'd say this was a relatively extensive history of coffee, but overall I learned a lot. I think this was a perfectly informative (ex. the overall evolution of coffee, how different cultures engage in the coffee experience, the history of coffeeshops in general, etc.) while also not being afraid to discuss the dark side of the coffee industry (ex. slavery, attempts of prohibition, the corporation aspect in general, etc). Highly recommend to coffee lovers and those interested in learning more about the Food & Beverage industry.
