It's a well-known trope that bartenders have half a novel under their belts, but the gentle art of cocktail-making can slake the creative propensities of many a germinating artist. Fyodor Kuzmichev certainly thinks so, and has seen fit to craft a delicately wrought description of his ventures into the endeavour, and subsequent Dantean exploration of the cocktail underworld.

The space of the coffee shop is suffused with social meaning. It has been a site for collaboration, discussion, community building, and leisure. A researcher at the University of Chicago takes us through the intellectual history of the coffee shop in Baghdad, and allows us to appreciate the rich history of coffee across geographical borders and expanses of time.

We talk about the global coffee industry and what ties it together, but doesn’t coffee also provide one of the clearest windows into local culture?
