Ten Speed Press The New Rules of Coffee: A Modern Guide for Everyone

Very quick read, no interesting information, has a page telling you how to tip a barista and another one telling to wear headphones in a cafe... Good illustrations. Not informative, just a quick read. If you're paying more than $2, not worth it.

Very little information in this small book. Extremely general information. Only talks about basic coffee, never touches on coffee as prepared in other cultures (Cuban, Turkish, German...???). Uses drawings like a grade school class to illustrate things. Strange to find a book that was sold for money decrying world-wide commerce. Coffee was an early reason cultures met and traded. This book is too hip for it's own good and takes the "Poor, exploited peoples" path. Save it. Talk about coffee.There are pretty pictures, some of which appear to be color-coded, but have no chart to explain the colors. Most were clearly drawn by an art school student who has the skills of an 8th grader. The cartoonish graphics betray and simple approach to a HUGE subject. This book is aimed at a 16 year old who stumbled onto their first cup of decent coffee and thinks they are the first one EVER to discover it. It clicks off the boxes of social responsibility to ensure sales to the 16-22 year old easily influenced crowd.As for social responsibility, it's pretty much a way of killing trees to make a buck off a blog. At least electrons don't die for a blog. In the grand scheme of things, it added nothing that an hour on the internet doesn't yield. But I liked the cover layout. Oh well. If you need to prove you are hip to others and have little to no self-confidence, this is a great book for you. Sorry I listened to the Amazon suggestion to add it to my order.Notice I never plugged there website. They do they plenty in the book.....

This book is amazing. The people behind sprudge have such an amazing wealth of knowledge and this book proves that. The simple art work let’s you focus on the content and not fancy visuals. Anyone working in the coffee field or just interested in coffee should buy this book.

This book is a must read if you love coffee. If you’re new to specialty coffee it has tons of great information. If you’re a seasoned vet you’ll most like still learn a thing or two! It’s easy to read and hard to put down.

It’s a short but informative book on coffee. It’s basically a cooking guide for the creation of a cup of coffee. For people like me who are just now exploring the tasty world of coffee. For the folks still gagging down the always burnt coffees from the huge Seattle coffee empire, this little book can set you free to explore coffee from all over our planet.
