Follow coffee from the seed to the finished cup.
Coffee: From Bean to Barista is a readable guide to how coffee is grown, traded, roasted, brewed, and woven into cultures around the world. Robert W. Thurston connects coffee history with the questions shaping the industry now, including climate change, hybrid coffee plants, farming practices, and social justice.
This is not a recipe book. It’s for the reader who wants to understand where coffee comes from, how production decisions affect what reaches the cup, and why the coffee industry keeps changing.

- Coffee cultivation from planted seed onward
- Climate change and the challenges facing growers
- Research into coffee hybridization
