    Brewing Coffee is Truly an Art and a Craft
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017*

I love this book!I saw Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World at a coffee bar while on vacation. While browsing that book on amazon, I saw this book also and bought it on my kindle fire. I have been brewing and drinking coffee for years and never even thought about a study of how to brew coffee well. I thought get a coffeemaker, add grinds and water and you're done. Was I ever wrong! When I got back home from vacation, I stepped up my game!Excellent coffee starts with the bean, how it is picked (give it one year to be fresh) how it is roasted locally (give it a week or two, and some people roast at home) how it is ground (I now grind at home right before brewing) how is is brewed or extracted (I already had a French Press which I use more often and I also got a new excellent brewer) and my coffee enjoyment has gone up light years!Highly recommend this book to learn so much more and to become a coffee enthusiast! I thought I knew coffee, but this took my game to a whole new level!This book is a start to opening my world. Highly recommend!

    Excelllent Primer
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2012*

I have been drinking premium coffee/espresso for about 20 years and roasting myself for about 3 years.  I thought this book was a very terse, to the point primer on coffee.  Easy reading and short with great advice about coffee sourcing and roasting basics.  Even though I have a little experience with coffee, I still learned quite a bit from this book.I am taking 1 star off for the following reasons.1. In the Kindle edition the pictures are not synced properly with the captions.  A caption will show up after you have flipped 3 pages past the pictures.2. In the roasting section he described espresso roast as being beyond Vienna.  I have many friends that roast and neither I nor they roast their espresso that dark.  I am in contact with about 10 home roasters, none of them ever roast beyond Vienna and usually target Full City + since that is the easiest to benchmark.  I usually do Full City myself for a LeLit PL53 grinder with a Simonelli Nouva HX machine, depends on the beans I might go a little darker.  Later on in the "espresso" section he says that better espresso can be achieved with a lighter roast.  Maybe the editing is not so good.3. He attempted to make the case that roasting yourself can be more expensive.  This may be dated information or his bean source is very expensive.  I generally pay about 6.50 to $7 including shipping per pound, sometimes a pay up to $15 a pound but very rarely.  Premium at the supermarket runs at about 1.10/ounce or $16.60 a pound.  Even with 10% loss after roasting I'm still almost half the cost.  My worst roasts are generally better than super market premium coffees (which are generally stale and charred anyway ) and my typical roasts are better than most local roasters where I live.

    Great book to advance my beginner skills
  

*by B***Q on Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2012*

This book provides a great overview of coffee in general.  For advanced folks, it probably adds little value but for a beginner like me looking to advance my skills, it was well worth the dollars.  I was tired of my Keurig coffee and wanted to make better a cup of coffee myself.  This book covers the entire process from types of beans, origins, roasted, unroasted to brewing techniques, grinding, etc.  There are so many nuances to making coffee that you don't realize it until you read more about the subject.  I often refer back to this book for brewing techniques.I definitely feel like it has improved my skills and would recommend this for anyone looking to move beyond k cups or generic ground coffee.
