The brain moves into over-drive and it”s time for empire building.So goes Stewart Lee Allen”s crazy theory.Only thing is, after retracing coffee”s journey to world domination – by train, rickshaw, cargo freighter and donkey – he has plenty of evidence to back it up.Stewart Lee Allen has filtered out the richest beans from coffee”s hot and frothy history . . . serving up a steamy, high-energy brew that will stimulate you more than a triple-strength espresso. As they might say in Starbucks: ”Enjoy.”
