This book is completely about coffee. We have a bunch of people who love coffee, not just as a drink but as something addictive when it comes to a state of mind outside their boring lives. The author takes us back to the history of when coffee was started. When you read this book, you might get some answers to questions like “Why and how did it start?”. When coffee started, it, of course, underwent an evolution. Earlier, if it was just soft drinks, coffee completely replaced them. When it comes to farming and trading, are they making good numbers? Since the number of coffee consumers has increased, coffee production is increasing every day. And also, this book tells us the problems that women go through when they go into farming. These women will have a huge amount of responsibilities tied to them, but in the world, women coffee farmers are at the top.
We need to think about health constraints when consuming coffee. This book has a clear vision for explaining the benefits of coffee and the amount of consumption we need to have for a healthier body. Some fun facts about coffee really bring a smile to our faces; some poems make us read them again and again; some humour content makes us think over them. Adding to these contents, we have well-made recipes with ingredients to be added for a better taste of coffee! For a quick read and for coffee lovers, this is a nice book to start with.

Review:
As someone who loves coffee, I was so excited to grab this eBook. Starting with historical facts about the humble cup of coffee, the author Farnaz Calafi talks about social justice for plantation workers, health aspects of coffee and slowly talks about fun facts too! What I loved most about the book was the author including such delectable recipes that I wish I could just grab it straight out of the book!! The illustrations make this book much more interesting!
This is a short and fun educative book for everyone out there. Please, do get this book! It is a treat for coffee lovers! Also don’t forget to grab your favourite cup of coffee while reading. Otherwise, you will end up craving for one by the time you finish reading!

Cute little informational bits over coffee. Think a tea version would be a nice pairing. Then both books would be nice little additions to a living room or office waiting area for guests.

All Things Coffee tries to cover all aspects of coffee that coffee lovers are familiar with, yet are curious to explore at every chance. I found this fun, informative book about coffee engaging and would recommend it if you love all things coffee, much like Lorelei Gilmore from Gilmore Girls.

It was fun reading this book. the author captured details a lot of details around the origin stories, the bitter truths about its trade, the practices and much more.
One thing is for sure, a coffee lover shall devour every page like a sip from their fav. cup.
A great part about the book – it has recipes too with quirky titles!!!
A not so impressive part – The book could cover the global stories too, I found it a little stuck to just major coffee-producing areas. I would have enjoyed it more with more details about other uncommon areas, giving us a taste of unexplored territories
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
