Once drunk only as part of an obscure Muslim custom, coffee is now an indispensable part of daily life for billions of people around the world. It is one of the most valuable commodities in the history of the global economy and the world's most popular drug. The very word 'coffee' is one of the most widespread on the planet. Augustine Sedgewick's 'Coffeeland' tells the hidden and surprising story of how this came to be, tracing coffee's 400-year transformation into an everyday necessity.
