William H. Ukers fue un editor visionario que reconoció las tendencias emergentes de la industria. Después de que se desestimara su idea de expandir una revista especializada en la industria del café, forjó su propio camino. Esta decisión dio forma literal a la historia del café y el té al sentar las bases de una nueva publicación del sector. Su determinación y previsión definieron el futuro de este ámbito.
This definitive work on coffee's history and influence explores its historical, technical, scientific, commercial, social, and artistic dimensions. The lavishly illustrated second edition (1935) remains unmatched in its comprehensive coverage of the subject.
The original homage to the world's most extraordinary drink! In 1922, William H. Ukers wrote the definitive work on coffee. As the founder of The Tea and Coffee Trade Journal, an industry magazine still active today, he spent seventeen years traveling the world and uncovering everything there was to know about both the bean and the beverage. From its historic roots and the drinking customs of different countries to its effects on the mind and the preparation of the perfect cup, this book captures all the rich and complex history of coffee. Filled to the brim with robust facts, aphorisms, and more, All About Coffee culls the best of Ukers's research and observations sip after sip, page after page.
