Have a cup of coffee with a goat, just to say thanks. One story of the origin of coffee is that a goatherd noticed how frisky his goats got after eating the coffee berries; the goatherd tried them himself.
That's a long time and a long way from driving up to a window and ordering a double macchiato. But Mark Pendergrast gets a lot of detail into his book .
The book is a re-release, the first edition came out 20 years ago. And we still love coffee; the author joins us to explain why.
