Published on 2010-09-28 by Basic Books

Uncommon Grounds tells the story of coffee from its discovery on a hill in ancient Abyssinia to the advent of Starbucks. In this updated edition of the classic work, Mark Pendergrast reviews the dramatic changes in coffee culture over the past decade, from the disastrous ÒCoffee CrisisÓ that caused global prices to plummet to the rise of the Fair Trade movement and the Òthird-waveÓ of quality-obsessed coffee connoisseurs. As the scope of coffee culture continues to expand, Uncommon Grounds remains more than ever a brilliantly entertaining guide to the currents of one of the worldÕs favorite beverages.
