Cafe Amoré by Robert Blackburn and Andrew Hoyne is an evocative photographic journey through Europe's famous, and sometimes notorious cafés. Every morning Europe stirs to the hissing of a million espresso machines. On the continent where barely a coffee bean grows, coffee drinking is a cult, a creed, an art and an addiction.
Coffee trickled into Europe from the Ottoman Empire through the salon parties of the wealthy and fashion conscious during the 16th Century. But today there is no beverage that is more egalitarian or popular. Coffee has long sustained the avant-garde of Europe: the writers, the philosophers and the artists. Revolution has percolated through the cafés, borne on cigarette smoke and the aroma of freshly ground coffee.
The European café has myriad faces: the bourgeois coffee salons of the 19th Century Paris, the rudimentary workers' coffeehouses that emerged as meeting places for the proletariat, the chic espresso bars in central Milan and the prolific sports bars that are the lifeblood of every Italian neighborhood. As diverse as they are, the European cafés are united by a common pursuit - the perfect coffee.
Cafe Amoré is a unique photographic celebration of café-culture in Europe, where coffee is a religion. Robert Blackburn and Andrew Hoyne have artistically captured the true spirit of coffee in Europe through this photographic journal.
Cafe Amoré is a great coffee-table book and will make an ideal gift for any coffee aficionado.
