But good coffee is not just about using the right brewing technique. Just like tea or a bottle of wine, coffee is a beverage whose taste and quality varies enormously depending on the subspecies, origin and how it is then harvested, processed, roasted and finally brewed. This book therefore follows coffee from origin to finished cup and teaches you how to get the most flavour out of each variety and origin.
But it also aims to raise awareness of all the hands the coffee beans have passed through before finally reaching your cup and how people are actually affected by your decisions. The world market price of coffee hasn't risen since the 1970s and the people who have paid for it are the ones who actually produce it. So to really enjoy a good cup of coffee, we need to start being prepared to pay more for it.
