My diploma work deals with the topic of The preparation of coffee and its culture which is becoming interesting issue in our modern society and it is connected with modern lifestyle. The aim of my diploma work is exploring people's knowledge of coffee, coffee culture and also of the right preparation of coffee beverages, their health effects and some alternative methods of making coffee. Next point is to survey people's attitudes and social influences on coffee culture. Theoretical part of my work is mainly focused on coffee as a plant, processing of coffee beans, making coffee and coffee culture. The facts have been excerpted from available specialized literature and online resources. I have also used my theoretical knowledge based on my experience with SCAE Speciallity Coffee Association of Europe, that has the seat in London. Empirical research can be used as an inspiration for setting up a coffee bar. My diploma work can serve as a resource for creating specialized publication aimed at either wide public interested in coffee culture or at professional barists.
