It was all so simple back in the day: black or white, with or without sugar. Now choosing a coffee calls for a university degree.
The serving of coffee is a major industry, and it comes at a cost. This splendid documentary delves into the growing of the beans and the exploitation of the growers … and forget about the currently-popular boast that it’s all down to ethical practices on the part of those who sell us our mugs.
The directors come up with a fine, telling story to give you pause … over your Latte.
