Resumen del Editor

Gone are the days of the simple cup of coffee. Now, you can choose among lattes, cappuccino or macchiato while filling up at the local coffee bar. And as the complexity of the drink grows, so grows the culture around it. Looked at from the perspective of a cultural anthropologist, the hot elixir may be less important to the consumer than the atmosphere of the café, the friendliness of the staff, the sense of home, or the like-mindedness of fellow drinkers. Anthropologist Kathleen Adams of Loyola University in Chicago and Producer Judith Kampfner explore the world of café culture, from a Starbucks in Chicago to a coffee plantation in Costa Rica.
