Trade paperback. In the 1990s, Melvin leaves Chicago in a quest to find the perfect brew and sell it to Scotland.

Publisher's description:

Melvin Podgorski is young, naive, American - and a coffee fanatic. It's this passion that leads him from his native Chicago to 1990s Glasgow to scout out the prospects for a US coffee franchise. Imbued with dark, mournful notes, and the bittersweet tang of learning the hard way, this title combines a feel-good flavour with a deep substance.
