Coffee: From Mythical Origins to Modern Brew

For all of these reasons, having coffee in the ration pack, having coffee with your troops, is very useful, and the instant coffee is a perfect formula for that, in the sense that it's the lightest way to carry coffee and the easiest way to brew it.
Ever wondered about the journey your morning cup of coffee has taken to reach you? In this episode, Amir Sayadabdi chats with Jonathan Morris, author of *Coffee: A Global History*. Morris unravels the rich tapestry of coffee's history, from its legendary beginnings to its status as a global staple. You'll hear about the various characters who have savored this brew over the centuries and how its preparation has evolved.
Morris also delves into the regions where coffee is grown, shedding light on the farmers and owners behind the beans. The discussion covers everything from the processing and trading of coffee to the businesses that have shaped its journey from farm to cup. Intriguingly, Morris explores the role of coffee in the military, including the invention of instant coffee.
He also touches on the rise of specialty coffee and third-wave coffee culture, which has transformed how we perceive and enjoy our daily brew. Whether you're a casual coffee drinker or a dedicated barista, this episode offers a fascinating look at the beverage that fuels our days.
