UntitledThe Devil's Cup is a great book.
We get great coffee here in New Zealand. Lots of fair trade and organic roasts to choose from. Although over here cafe's are normally full of hipsters or middle/upper class twits or business people. There's still a few cool places around though.

Intelligent people discussing interesting things in an intelligible manner. Quite a concept. Coffeehouses had made civilized conversation into a popular sport.
