From its humble beginnings to its rise to become the most popular drink in the world. You will discover where coffee is grown in the world and how different growing regions influence the taste. One focus is on the difference between the two main types of coffee beans: Robusta and Arabica.

We will also explore different types of coffee, from traditional preparation methods to modern creations.
