Filmmakers Julie and Kenneth van Schooten decided to combine their love for visiting coffee houses and traveling in this both entertaining and educational documentary called " Coffee Culture USA".

They traveled around the US and visited unique coffee houses, ranging from a small Alaskan bail bonding and espresso shack run by a reverend, an Italian cafe in New Orleans damaged by Hurricane Katrina, a coffee house operated by teenagers to a full service community center/coffee house in Austin. But also coffee painters, coffee collar makers, a coffee house film director and an exclusive interview with the "Grandfather of Gourmet Coffee" Alfred Peet.
