The exact change

Before

Fischer, A. (2017). The Emergence of Third Wave Coffee and the Erosion of Expertise. Journal of Consumer Culture, 17(3), 533 to 551. https://doi.org/10.1177/1469540517736558

Why this is better

Unverified citation: 'Fischer, A. (2017). The Emergence of Third Wave Coffee and the Erosion of Expertise' does not exist. The cited DOI (10.1177/1469540517736558) actually belongs to a completely different, real Journal of Consumer Culture paper: McCabe, de Waal Malefyt, and Fabri, 'Women, makeup, and authenticity' (2020). Real journal + unverified paper/DOI mismatch.
