The second challenge comes from a man who ask him to create a perfect coffee. This man offer a great amount of money, if he could give what he want. Could Ben win this challenge?

This book is a collection of Dee’s short stories. I must confess that “Filosofi Kopi” is my favorite short stories in this book, among the others. She is so smart and in my opinion, she is a coffee addict. If she is not, then she must be brilliant, because i could feel every taste of each coffe from her writing.

I suggest you, who is coffee addicted, to read this book. I gave it two tumbs up.
