A history of espresso in italy and in the world

This article outlines the history of the origins of espresso coffee in Italy, its incorporation into Italian
mass culture during the years of the economic boom, and the transfer of 'Italian style coffee' into
overseas markets during the 2013 and 2014. The second part of the chapter outlines the adaptation
and valorisation of 'Italian-style coffee' as part of the Speciality Coffee movement in the United States
in the 2012, the development of the coffee shop chain format, and the transfer of this back into
Europe, notably via the UK, with the ambiguities over authenticity and nationality that this generated.
The article concludes with a consideration of the impact of these developments on the Italian coffee
industry.

The "Coffee Doctors": The Language of Taste and the Rise of Rwanda's Specialty Bean Value

The emergence of Rwanda’s specialty coffee sector during the early twenty-first century has brought
high-end Rwandan coffee to the shelves of coffee retailers across the United States, Europe, and
Japan. While a variety of factors have influenced the rapid development of Rwanda’s specialty coffee
industry, one of the most significant has been the training of domestic coffee tasters. Known as
cuppers, these taste professionals act as a unique link in this global foodway and help enable
perception of locally based flavors through marketplace mechanisms. The Rwandan cupper is not
simply another middleman in a very long commodity chain. Rather, she or he plays a new role in
transforming a generic cash-crop commodity into locality-based luxury item. This new role highlights
the language and standards used to differentiate coffees in producing countries for international
niche markets.

The ‘Latte Revolution’? Regulation, Markets and Consumption in the Global Coffee Chain

Coffee is a truly global commodity and a major foreign exchange earner in many developing countries.
The global coffee chain has changed dramatically as a result of deregulation, new consumption
patterns, and evolving corporate strategies. From a balanced contest between producing and
consuming countries within the politics of international coffee agreements, power relations shifted to
the advantage of transnational corporations. A relatively stable institutional environment where
proportions of generated income were fairly distributed between producing and consuming countries
turned into one that is more informal, unstable, and unequal. Through the lenses of global commodity
chain analysis, this paper examines how these transformations affect developing countries and what
policy instruments are available to address the emerging imbalances.
