The worldwide bestseller - 1/4 million copies sold

'Written by a World Barista Champion and co-founder of the great Square Mile roasters in London, this had a lot to live up to and it certainly does. Highly recommended for anyone into their coffee and interested in finding out more about how it's grown, processed and roasted.' (Amazon customer)

'Whether you are an industry professional, a home enthusiast or anything in between, I truly believe this is a MUST read.' (Amazon customer)

'Informative, well-written and well presented. Coffee table and reference book - a winner' (Amazon customer)

'Very impressive. It's amazing how much territory is covered without overwhelming the reader. The abundant photos and images are absolutely coffee-table-worthy, but this book is so much more. I think it would be enjoyable for an obsessed coffee geek or someone who just enjoys their java.' (Amazon customer)

For everyone who wants to understand more about coffee and its wonderful nuances and possibilities, this is the book to have.

Coffee has never been better, or more interesting, than it is today. Coffee producers have access to more varieties and techniques than ever before and we, as consumers, can share in that expertise to make sure the coffee we drink is the best we can find. Where coffee comes from, how it was harvested, the roasting process and the water used to make the brew are just a few of the factors that influence the taste of what we drink. Champion barista and coffee expert James Hoffmann examines these key factors, looking at varieties of coffee, the influence of terroir, how it is harvested and processed, the roasting methods used, through to the way in which the beans are brewed.

Country by country - from Bolivia to Zambia - he then identifies key characteristics and the methods that determine the quality of that country's output. Along the way we learn about everything from the development of the espresso machine, to why strength guides on supermarket coffee are really not good news. This is the first book to chart the coffee production of over 35 countries, encompassing knowledge never previously published outside the coffee industry.

Mustafa Arat

An expensive coffee table book!

18 October 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Author is unable hide his bias views of the world from an ethnocentric Western perspective. Pictures of British drinking coffee in India where they are known for Tea....picture od a French man from 1746....yet only mentioning Ottomans for leaving behind bags of coffee behind after Virana siege...he is either ignorant (more like prejudiced) to know that Ottomans controlled the coffee trade for hundreds of years....title of the book reads "from beans to brewing" yet he does not mention a word about Turkish method! Not even in the index! Wow! The entire world knows about Turkish coffee, what does he trying to hide? I guess he is still upset because British lost at the Gallipoli under the command of Churchill.

He also fails to accurately describe how coffee spread to Europe as he never mentions the oldest coffee house in Europe “Coffe Baum” in Leipzig, Germany, founded in 1694. Many notable personages met here and enjoyed the popular drink. Gottsched, Klinger, E. T. A. Hoffmann or Wagner were often seen going in and out. Goethe, Lessing, Bach and Grieg were also known to be guests there. In the Schumann Room. The sandstone sculpture above the doorway to “Coffe Baum” is especially famous. An Ottoman offers cupid a cup of coffee. It symbolizes the meeting of the Christian western world with the Islamic East. No other than Augustus the Strong was supposed to have donated this sculpture as way of saying thank you to the landlady, who had taken immaculate care of him. Today, it is one of the most important coffee museums’ worldwide.

I am nor even sure if Mr. Hoffmann travel to the places he is talking about. Half the book is filled with photographs of coffee farms, yet there is no explanation or reference to who took the pictures? He is not in any of them. So where did he get them? It's basically a compilation of various info about coffee business that can be found on the internet. Many chapters are only 1-1.5 pages and does not contain any meaningful material. Not impressed at all.

In my opinion, its a book written by a barista, popularized by blogging to make some money. It's a coffee table book at best but even for that it 's too small. Save your money and don't buy this book.

Thank you Mr. James Hoffman!
Once again I'm very impressed (like usual of all your ingenious efforts in social media and videos and print).. Let me first put down your World Atlas of Coffee.. I'm standing up applauding you.. "Bravo! Exceptional Work! Amazing photos and details. Nothing left to chance.. Right down to the paper quality and clean crisp layout.. very much appreciated! Your genuine love of Coffee, is all too apparent. You've shared your knowledge and experience with each page and intimate photos.

I enjoyed reading 37 pages before I just bookmarked and closed the book for the night. Then.. I thought I'll post my initial thoughts and praise on Amazon for all to see and read!

The only way this book could have been improved was with an autographed copy!

Thanks for making my coffee experience much better!

The definitive Atlas of Coffe

I came to cross with this book thanks to James Hoffman's youtube channel. If you're getting started into coffe culture his channel and this book are a great start point.

The book takes you from the coffee processing, to brewing techniques and growing regions around the world. It is a well explained book with historic details and tips about coffe tasting.

I can't tell you how much I've liked this book, I'm currently reading it and I'm actually devouring it as the coffe enthusiast that I've become.

I would recommend this book to anyone who appreciates the taste of a good cup of coffee and wants to dive into the culture a little bit further.

And finally if you want to further the experience this book provides with more visuals I recommend you to check James Hoffman's YouTube channel.

A great resource

9 November 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

If you watch YouTube of James Hoffman all this information with the exception of the reviews of the countries of the world will be familiar to you. The value of this book is having James' expertise in print in your hands. I read this in a few hours and will be going back to check my technique and to gain more insight on countries coffee comes from. I'm a huge fan and even bought a Square Mile coffee mug, so take my review as a fan. But, I can honestly recommend this if you are truly interested in coffee knowledge and technique. I have used the pour over and French press techniques James outlines and my coffee enjoyment has doubled. If you love coffee, reading, and improving--buy this book.

Too informative?

28 November 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Great book. The first portion of the book is very informative and interesting. The rest should probably be used strictly as a reference book. It lists every coffee growing country, its growing history, and growing varietals. It gets very repetitive if you are reading it straight through.
