jazzy_daveStewart Lee Allen "The Devil's Cup: Coffee, the Driving Force in History" (Canongate)
Before I start this review I have to confess I am a coffee addict. I love it in all its varieties. This is a pretty good book from that genre of literary non-fiction devoted to trying to be hip by writing about 'obscure' subjects - barbed-wire, screwdrivers, salt, coffee, whatever. Admittedly it started to go a bit strange when it hit the travels going across America where coffee is just another drug bit, but like the history and the discussions of the origins of coffee, as the drug of choice for so many of us.
For the record, for me it is coffee, and alcohol. Not both combined i might add).
