Coffee Companion

Dennis Boyer knows there is a deeper meaning to coffee consumption than simple taste & stimulation to the nerves. During the years of building Brothers Gourmet Coffees from meager beginnings to its present position as one of the nation's preeminent gourmet coffee roasters, the author has had time to reflect, both in solitude & in discussion with family & friends (usually over coffee), on the larger scheme of things. In his book, Boyer shares his ideas & insights with coffee lovers everywhere. Sharing & love are two main themes of THE COFFEE COMPANION. Coffee is the stimulus for the personal essays that open the book including: Boyer's childhood reminiscences about his own introduction to coffee in the warm embrace of his grandmother's farm kitchen; the story of his tour in Vietnam, where sharing coffee with a buddy gave some human meaning to the experience; & his humorous account of how the president of a major coffee company shops at the supermarket. The author's own meditations are supplemented by letters & stories from friends & customers about experiences with coffee in a variety of situations.
