Caffeinated tells the story of coffee through the perspectives of people who have dedicated their lives to it. At every step of the process, it's the hands that planted the seed, that roaste...

Storyline
I love documentaries and having watched many I appreciate an unbiased view of the facts in visually stunning pictures and insightful comments. This film is NOT THAT. Yes, it shows some of the backgrounds you don't get to see as a consumer of the bean, but it does not go into detail. For example I completely miss the fact of what growing coffee in low lands means compared to high elevation growing. What roast types there are. Washed vs natural. These are things, which actually concern you as a coffee bean buyer, but the doc does not even address in any way. On the other hand, more than half of the film is dedicated on how to help the poor coffee growers through all sorts of mechanisms and it interviews stereotypical Starbuckers and their barista's about their passion for coffee and how to funnel more money to the planters. The leftist view of demanding equality for everyone is infused in this movie... Don't watch it unless you like your documentaries with a good chunk of leftist politics. You won't get much insight anyway.
