If I would rate it as a photo album would probably be a 5/5。 Amazing photos ， with the only mention that you need to go back to the end of the book to find out what each photo represents。 I started the book thinking that due to the lack of text （probably 10-15 pages only） will rate it as a 2 out of 5 stars， but the pictures are really powerful。 Even the cover picture looking at the original in the book looks much more expressive。 All pictures shoot in black & white gives you the feeling about th If I would rate it as a photo album would probably be a 5/5。 Amazing photos ， with the only mention that you need to go back to the end of the book to find out what each photo represents。 I started the book thinking that due to the lack of text （probably 10-15 pages only） will rate it as a 2 out of 5 stars， but the pictures are really powerful。 Even the cover picture looking at the original in the book looks much more expressive。 All pictures shoot in black & white gives you the feeling about the hardship and the effort put into producing the cup of coffee， going beyond the taste to the emotions put into producing it。 I would have loved to read a little bit more about the process or the pictures to have a structure， to be either put together by stages of the process， by country， something to be easier to digest。 With all that I can say is a book that I would 're-read' especially if I am looking for a photography inspiration。I discovered after finishing the book that there are descriptions of the photos at the end。 。。。more

Fantastic photographs。 I would have preferred to see the captions on each page rather than at the end。

Again， most spectacular documentary photography revealing the men and women behind each one of the coffee bean you and I consume。 However， minimum captions make the readers feel poorly informed about each image。 There should be a booklet with detailed captions and description like those other Salgado's books。 Again， most spectacular documentary photography revealing the men and women behind each one of the coffee bean you and I consume。 However， minimum captions make the readers feel poorly informed about each image。 There should be a booklet with detailed captions and description like those other Salgado's books。 。。。more

Eu sou daquelas pessoas viciadas em café e a imagem que tenho do mesmo é meramente estética: uma xícara soltado aquele perfume especular que funciona quase como um chamariz， grãos fumegantes nos chamando; digo isso pq a imagem de plantações， lavradores e maquinas; é a ultima que me vem， foi um tanto estranho pra mim， mas ao mesmo tempo reflexivo pq me fez pensar em quantas mãos humanas tocaram todas essas coisas que nos cercam e que nem temos ideia da origem ou se temos não damos a devida atençã Eu sou daquelas pessoas viciadas em café e a imagem que tenho do mesmo é meramente estética: uma xícara soltado aquele perfume especular que funciona quase como um chamariz， grãos fumegantes nos chamando; digo isso pq a imagem de plantações， lavradores e maquinas; é a ultima que me vem， foi um tanto estranho pra mim， mas ao mesmo tempo reflexivo pq me fez pensar em quantas mãos humanas tocaram todas essas coisas que nos cercam e que nem temos ideia da origem ou se temos não damos a devida atenção， enfim nem preciso dizer que as imagens são belissimas， foi lindo ter esse olhar mais fundo sobre o café e a sua universalidade。 。。。more
