Coffee is an enjoyable, somewhat essential part of our lives. For those of us who also love to read, books and coffee just go hand and hand. And so I present to you, the podcast 'Coffee Books'. Each morning, while I enjoy a nice, fresh, hot cup of my morning Guatemalan drip, I will spend a few minutes reading aloud a book about coffee, for you ~ I hope you enjoy my podcast, and I wish you tasty java, always.
