Trace the globe-spanning journey of coffee as it goes from plant to brew, and the complex infrastructure that makes it possible.
--
How many people does it take to make a cup of coffee? For many of us, all it takes is a short walk and a quick pour. But this simple staple is the result of a globe-spanning process whose cost and complexity are far greater than you might imagine. AJ Jacobs traces the journey of this caffeinated elixir from seed to cup.
Lesson by A.J. Jacobs, directed by Biljana Labovic.

I love how photos of actual people were shown in the end. It is sad that this human working process could be dehumanizing for many people in the very beginning of the chain. Many things we consume is due to the hard work of people who needs to do this just for mere surviving. And I don't think we have a practical solution that could solve it overnight. But the fact is that we need a solution to change the way we produce and consume food and other goods. Coffee can be considered a symbol here on Brazil. At least it was the basis of our economy in the last centuries. A cup of coffee is a tradition in our homes.

Well the problem is that coffee farming still cannot be automated and those coffee companies have 2 options: 1. Reduce production efficiency and risk the coffee price sky rocketed and the market collapsing, or 2. They make people work tirelessly for less than minimum wages, which they chose the latter

@@robbieaulia6462 Denaturalization- it's been the solution for millennia. Our elevated minds cannot comprehend a world without, when 200 years ago, the layman was deprived of coffee consumption. Ecologically, the true cost of this commodity is astronomical. We live in an artificial economy, unnaturally consuming goods produced half a world away. BTW, I believe some of these workers are paid $2/day or less. Why does the developing world bear the brunt of the price of our standard of living?

Caffeine is a drug, one of the few that not only makes you addicted, but also physically dependent. You might want to do a withdrawal from the drug. The first weeks will be really difficult (headaches, sleep issues and so on) because your body is dependent, but later on you should feel better and sleep better, granted you have a regular sleep cycle.

@@georgenelson811 Fair Trade is definitely better than non-FairTrade. Of course it does not guarantee that everybody involved is treated well but it is better than not doing anything at all. Another Thing you can do is buying organic. This ensures or at least makes it more likely that the people working in the fields are not exposed to harsh chemicals that can shorten their life. In my country you can buy a pack (400g/ 1.2lbs or so) of the cheapest ground, fair trade coffee for five euros. Idk about beans bc I dont use them. But the price is definitely comparable to other brands that have none of these standards in place. Do some research and find the coffee that is best for you and know that fair products don't have to cost a ton more.

@landocarl6972 2 жыл бұрын

Legend has it that 9th-century goat herders noticed the effect caffeine had on their goats, who appeared to "dance" after eating the fruit of the Coffea plant. A local monk then made a drink with the produce and found that it kept him awake at night, thus the original cup of coffee was born.

I grew up in a mountainside area where coffee grew abundantly. I remember my childhood full of the sweet scent of flowering coffee trees permeating the morning fog. Summers are spent helping the elders to pick up coffee cherries and drying them out in the sun on my grandma's front porch. At night time, coffee beans are packed in a burlap sack, then laid out under the sun to dry again the next day. The process continues for weeks until all coffee beans are fully dried. In a good season, we can sell as much as 500 kilos of beans. We sell a majority of the coffee beans to a wholesaler, then keep some for personal consumption. We keep only about 10 kilos for personal consumption. My grandma would roast the beans, distribute them to each family, then we'll use our own beans for daily consumption.

Have seen it myself and experience it directly in the remote area of Indonesia. Manufacturing coffee from how we grow it, plant it, make it all by hands and traditional trajectories. No machine involved and it was dope.

Honestly every little thing you see and enjoy (especially in first world countries) each have their early life stories and those in it aren’t all treated fairly or paid handsomely. Even the roads you see, the bridges you pass without appreciating, the water you consume straight out of the faucets.. have tons and thousands of workers and professionals behind the scene. These people serve as civil workers, keeping the society safe, yet, they are extremely under-appreciated. Speaking from personal experience, yes I wish we all appreciate what we are offered a little more and stop taking everything for granted

Many Brazilians and other Latinos have told me that the American coffee is horrible, because it's really "weak". But I have never been to the US nor have I drank American coffee, so, people from Latin America who live/have been to US, what is it like?

I’m from the US and yeah, the cheaper coffee like Folgers can taste like water. You can get high quality coffee that’s probably more comparable to what you’re used to but it’s much more expensive so people looking for a daily caffeine fix over flavor (most people) will opt for the cheap stuff hence the prevalence of weak coffee in the US.

I don't drink more than a few cups of coffee per year, while I drink around 4 cups of tea per day. not that I prefer tea but mainly because in our household it's always ready to be poured. looking forward to a video about tea with a quote from Captain Picard!
