To make any old cup of coffee, you simply need a pot, heat, ground coffee, and water. But you're not just anyone. You are a coffee aficionado, a determined, fearless seeker of the best java. And this is the guide for you.

How to Make Coffee provides an in-depth look at the art and science behind the bean. Learn the anatomy of coffee; the chemistry of caffeine; the best way to roast, grind, and brew the beans to their peak flavor; and what gadgets you really need (versus what gadgets are for mere coffee dilettantes). With illustrated, step-by-step instructions, How to Make Coffee is for the person who doesn't want to settle for anything less than the perfect cup.

I bought this book when I got a job as a barista (after a seven year hiatus from the profession) and needed to brush up on my knowledge to impress the new boss! Also, I live in Nova Scotia where home espresso machines are not really available (unless you wanna pay a lot of shipping from elsewhere), and so I wanted to know how to get the most from my stovetop espresso makers and my french press. This book offers a really good intro to all the different factors that affect a coffee bean's flavour, from growing region, to drying method, to roast, to grind, to the type of brewing apparatus you're using. It has just the right amount of technical info that you can dip into if you wish or stay out of if you don't. Most importantly for me, it gives you the vocabulary tools to express what it is you want from a coffee, so when someone says "fruity, citrus" at you, you can actually understand what the hell they're talking about.

Bought this for an idiot that knows nothing about making coffee thinking it will help him turn into the office brew master. Either he is illiterate or hasn't bothered reading it. Oh well.

Great book. I learned alot from it before gifting it

I gifted this book to my husband who is a huge coffee fan and loves to cook as well. He really enjoyed reading some interesting facts/history about coffee, and even some tips on how to make better coffee.

Don't be fooled by the size of the book. This book packs more theory than any so called local cafe training offers. It is open to the public! Training that most coffee company offers are just the technical side to it. I'm a barista for 4 years, this book have open my eyes in digging deep! It's all about the details of creating art

Great book packed with wonderful information but towards the back (reading on the Kindle app on my IPad) I noticed that some of the steps (line drawings) were absent.
