Coffee, A Philosophy: In Conversation with Matthew Green
2026-04-07 19:00 - 20:30 (Europe/London) | Foyles, 107 Charing Cross Road, London, WC2H 0DT, United Kingdom
Julian Baggini has long been fascinated by the philosophical underpinnings of how we eat and drink, and the chance discovery in Tokyo of a copy of The Book of Tea by Kakuza Okakura (published in 1906) led him on a journey to explore our relationship with coffee. His latest book on coffee is something ultimately enriching and life affirming, an elevation of the everyday and a pleasure to read – a treatise on how we can infuse the seemingly mundane with moments of mindful attention and meaning.
The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Your ticket includes a complimentary glass of wine and a sample of historic seventeenth-century style coffee.
