An absolutely fantastic ten minute documentary about coffee.
I'm guessing it was made in the 60s but I'm not so hot on decades.
Why can't voice over artists be this poetic these days?
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
As a special bonus I'm going to throw in the coffee episode of Bob Dylan's
Theme Time Radio hour - I can't recommend it highly enough.

Fan-bloody-tastic!
I am a sucker for retro pottery, so the segments showing all the different cups was like vintage ceramic porn!
And YES. I too want to talk like a late 50s documentary man for a day....

I'm an absolute coffee fiend so it was a real treat.
Seriously, I need to find some more old documentaries.

or we could just judge them on personal merit, rather than acting as if the presidency is some sort of proxy intelligence or popularity marker of the nation.
just a thought.

Most enjoyable,
thanks for posting this. I remember short films like this on TV, during the afternoons in my pre-school years; late 1960s early 70s.
