Do you know where your coffee comes from?

Do you know where your coffee comes from? Dave Eggers' latest book is "The Monk of Mokha," the story of Mohktar Alkhanshali's journey to his family's war-torn homeland of Yemen, and the steps he took along the way to becoming a successful coffee importer. Eggers and Alkhanshali sit down with Jeffrey Brown for a conversation about the history of a staple of our daily lives and the fate of Yemen.
