A friendly guide to coffee with the valuable information any coffee lover must know.
Recent years have witnessed a quiet, almost unnoticeable revolution: all around the world, drip coffee has been replaced by espresso, macchiato, and cappuccino, with a similar quality to those served in the best Italian coffee shops. The technological developments of espresso machines, moka-pot, French-press and other newfangled equipment has allowed the flourishing coffee market to enter the domestic kitchen, turning coffee into an integral part of everyday, modern life. However, despite its huge popularity and expanding markets, coffee remains uncharted terrain, known only to connoisseurs. No more.

Everything you need to know about coffee, and more. This book is incredibly detailed, outlining the history of coffee, production, and actual coffee-making techniques. The author clearly did his research. I downloaded this on my Kindle, and the photos are beautiful--not usually the case with Kindle books. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is that sometimes it gets a bit too technical for easy digestion. But that may suit other readers perfectly.

I've always enjoyed coffee, but never knew much about the intricacies of the coffee world. This book opened a window for me into this fascinating world. Easy to read, it contains plenty of information and anecdotes (including a couple of pages about coffee reading!). It left a good taste (pun intended).

BIO
"I worked for many years as an IT manager for various well-known hi-tech companies. Whatever spare time I had was invested in my love for coffee. Whereas at first I drank Middle-Eastern black coffee, I moved to espresso when the first home espresso machines appeared on the market. At first the espresso I prepared was mediocre, especially when compared to the quality espresso I had tasted in Italy. This led me research what factors affect the quality of espresso, and gradually my preparations improved. I attempted my own roast, first in a frying pan, then in the oven, in a popcorn machine , and finally with a professional roaster. This book is the result of my years of research.
In the last few years, I have made my hobby my profession. We have opened a shop that sells quality coffee roasted and blended by myself, in addition to espresso machines and coffee accessories."
