Craft Coffee: A Manual: Brewing a Better Cup at Home

An easy read - not too technical.

Very informative, focused book. Recipes work well. Doesn’t cover automatic brewing methods or espresso which is fine for me since I prefer manual, pourover or immersion brewed coffee.

Great read. love this book

The inside of the book is upside down relative to the cover

Product advertised as being 'new', but the book I received shows clear signs of wear (stains) on the front and back covers

Libro muy interesante y con bastante información técnica sobre brewing. ¡Recomendable!

I've read a lot of cooffee books already, and thyis one - one of the best. It is not only very well descriptive but also super practical. The recipes provided there are super close to the reality with good deviations, for example for 1 recipe - multiple variations, like french press method and also cold brew, the same - for the clever dripper and so on. Also, I found good short practical advises at the very end of the book with how to fix certain problems in your cup, which you can can use right away. There is also a good balance in coffee regions explanations and processing methods - not too much, just to put some beautiful context for the beans we're buying, buuuut this also explaining how it affects our taste. Like, washed coffee = more origin nuances, moire clear cup. Natural = more body, and so on... This helped me take right decisions on my brewing methods. If talking about another books, they making huge emphasis on the coffee origins parts, but more in encyclopedia manner unfortunatelly... But here, after reading, you clearly understand what does it mean and how it would help you to understand what will end up in your cup.
