Coffee
A Whole Latte Love!
The story of coffee is said to begin in 850CE with an Ethiopian goatherd called Kaldi, who discovered the beloved bean. Today, it’s the world’s most popular drink; more than two billion cups of coffee are consumed each day on Earth – and astronauts are even brewing espresso in space. In this edition, we look at the bizarre, funny and problematic history of coffee – and how to enjoy a more sustainable cup.
