For such a beautiful production it is printed and bound in Malaysia! What a wonderful surprise. The cover has a burlap textured surface. How unique.
Paper and print quality is faultless. The writing and information on brewing methods and roasting is nicely laid out easy to reference. Sure you can google or watch YouTube to learn some of this but it’s nice to have a desk reference to read and flip through.
James doesn’t know attempt to have no opinions on brewing methods and puts his opinions across on what his preference is versus accepted practice. It’s refreshing, to not have bland fact only encyclopaedic reading but personal opinion or experience.
An ebook would not do the layout and photos much justice. Looks great on the shelf! Makes a great gift or just a treat to yourself. I am only just learning about coffee with pour overs and French press. But it’s nice to know. The section on coffee regions are interesting.

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