Coffee is one of the most popular staple drinks in the world. For a long time, coffee beans have been an important material in the world trade market, second only to oil. Once upon a time, coffee was seen as an important crystallization of globalization. Few things have the same cultural impact as coffee. Coffee has had a profound impact on people's thoughts and feelings in modern times. Without the political and cultural "subversion" of urban cafés, there would have been no French Revolution and no Enlightenment. War was started for it, slavery and forced labor were also associated with coffee. Even today, the price fluctuations of coffee on the World Commodity Exchange affect the fate of 25 million coffee farmers and their families. In this book, German writer Heinrich Edward Jacob details the history of coffee. It reproduces the development history of coffee in different regions of the world, reviews its economic and cultural value, and discusses the global coffee economy. The book is accompanied by exquisite pictures, depicting the different development paths of coffee in different periods and regions and the consumption situation in various countries. The whole book is about 160,000 words.
