La Taza del diablo

The book covers so many different cultures and eras—I'm curious how the author selected which anecdotes and facts made the cut. Was there a guiding principle behind the choices?

The way coffee is woven into history, politics, and society really expanded my view of its significance. I wonder if that was the author's intention or just a happy side effect.

Focusing on specific stories and moments adds depth, but I’m curious what motivated this particular approach rather than a broader overview.
