Coffee for One How the New Way to Make Your Morning Brew Became a Tempest in a Coffee Pod
Reminiscent of God in a Cup and The Devil’s Cup, this is an inside look into the modern business of making coffee. But rather than a general history, Coffee for One focuses on the revolution that made single serve such a popular way to consume coffee worldwide, and the competition and conflict that got us here.
This story features A-list names, corporate intrigue, environmental controversy, and much, much more. For the vast majority of the time humans have consumed coffee, the drink has been brewed in pots or other multi-serving tools; that is, until the last two decades, which saw the rise of the single serve coffee machine. Whether it’s a Keurig or a Nespresso, today a lot of people get their coffee from little plastic individual serving pods. But why? Coffee for One breaks open this story of innovation, profit, and cultural change.

- “Happiness is a warm rescue puppy, and a copy of Zen and the Rescue Dog. This wonderful, touching book articulates for so many what has helped bring the end of suffering thanks to the canine souls in their lives. For dog owners, for dog lovers, for students of Buddhism, and for anyone curious about all of the above and a path to happiness, this book is for you.” —William Norwich, Author of Learning to Drive and My Mrs. Brown
- “Buddhist masters tell us that the path to enlightenment requires us to live in the moment, without agonizing over the past or worrying about the future. It can feel like an impossible task, but if you live with a dog, you’re living with a highly sentient being that does exactly that. And in the marvelous and insightful book Zen and the Rescue Dog, KJ Fallon shows that the deeply interdependent relationships humans have with their canine companions help us to be centered and loving even if we never meet a monk or enter a monastery.” —Michael D. Lemonick, Chief Opinion Editor at Scientific American and the author of The Perpetual Now.
