Fantastic View of the History of Coffee

Excellent documentary following the history of coffee and how it impacted history. It is a fantastic work, as it pulls in many different documentary viewers, those that like history, those that enjoy social commentary, and those that like commerce.

It even delves into some myths around coffee and the coffee vs tea debate!

I want to point out, that their is a segment dedicated to Starbucks and Fair Trade that shows it's age. 2007 was quite a different time and what was progressive and innovative then, like Fair Trade and Starbucks, is not as much the case now. However, it is only a small portion of the documentary and they do a good job covering it!
