Everything about Belgian coffee, the plant, the roasters and the art of making coffee A steaming cup of coffee offers comfort, distraction or a moment of rest. It belongs at home, or just on the go. There is also no shortage of perspectives for the intriguing history of coffee. For example the coffee plant. In the seventeenth century it was coveted and protected under Arab monopoly, but grew into a plantation plant that was successful worldwide. Today he is again under pressure, this time from climate change. Conversely, the business of the coffee roaster ended in Belgium. From the start of coffee roasting, steps were taken towards more industrialization and mechanization. But just as the artisan roaster seemed to become obsolete, artisan roasters were regaining momentum. And anyone who thinks that the barista is a contemporary invention is less illusioned: ever since the emergence of coffee houses since the mid-sixteenth century, the black gold was donated by a specialist who knew the tricks of the trade. Today, authenticity and experience are re-entering the coffee world. Beans are given a face and a story. In clear texts and illustrated with original photos, this book highlights the heritage, craftsmanship and coffee traditions. IN DUTCH!
