If you are a cofee lover, you should read this The Devil's Cup...

 

This is the first book I finished today, January 1st. I started it on December 27th (last year obviously) and ended it today.
At first I was intrigued by the title of the book, because I am a coffee drinker and a bit of a caffeine addict ☕😁
Then I also saw that the wonderful Kim from @bookmarksnbreadsticks read it and reviewed it, and I decided to give it a try.
It's part historical book and part travel diary.
Allen 's quest for the best coffee begins in Ethiopia, then goes to Yemen, India, Turkey, Europe (especially Vienna), Brazil and finally the USA.
Each chapter gives us a historical and cultural overview behind the now famous beverage.
I mostly enjoyed the chapters about Europe, the Viennese coffee houses of the early 1600s and how a group of Italian monks gave rise to the now welknown drink called 'cappuccino'.
Definitely a non-fiction read I recommend to everyone, especially if you are a coffee lover.
