Ukers’ Stories on Coffee

A short introduction by Cy Chong

All About Coffee: A History of Coffee from the Classic Tribute to the World’s Most Beloved Beverage By William H. Ukers

For the love of black broth (aka coffee), decades of a man’s ambition, travel, experience and perspective are poured into a pocket-sized book. Short articles were arranged periodically, contributing to a journey of coffee history and evolution for readers. Written in the 1920s, customs and culture were recorded and had provided a philosophical insight of civilization. This timeless book provides evidence of coffee being praised, honored, worshipped, despised, excommunicated (nearly), baptized and loved. Ukers’ life work can be carried around for a light reading. William H. Ukers was the founder of The Tea and Coffee Trade Journal.
