Re: God in a Cup

Yes, this book is fantastic. It focuses more on events relevant to the US coffee market than the Australian market, but if you are interested in coffee, I think that you will find it fascinating. The book mainly traces the panama esmeralda phenomenon as a way of exploring current specialty coffee trends and it also follows around a number of high profile US coffee buyers. I blogged about it http://pourquality.blogspot.com/2008...and-books.html here.

Cheers,
Luca

Yep - have read it, I would argue it is an interesting read for someone not interested in coffee. Well researched and written by a respected journalist. There is also a very good interview with her on one of the coffeegeek podcasts.
