Från kaffe till drink tackles a surprisingly unexplored subject, namely coffee as an ingredient in drinks rather than something you have afterwards.
Lisen Gren is a certified advanced barista with twelve years in the coffee industry behind her. She trains baristas, lectures on coffee and won the Nordic Coffee Professional Cup in 2018. This is her second book, and her expertise shows in the fact that the drinks start with the coffee rather than the spirits.
Her argument is that coffee is a far more versatile ingredient than its reputation suggests. Brewed correctly, it contributes acidity that works much like citrus, bitterness that balances sweetness, and an aromatic complexity that few other ingredients can match. Cold brew also behaves quite differently from hot coffee, with milder bitterness and more caffeine, opening the door to drinks that taste of neither dessert nor espresso martini.
The book is organised by season and includes both non alcoholic and alcoholic recipes. The level of ambition is deliberately set so that the drinks can be made at home without bar equipment or specialist ingredients, while the techniques behind them remain sound.
For anyone who has already brewed their way through the world of coffee and wants to go further, and for anyone who thinks coffee drinks have so far begun and ended with Irish coffee, this is the only book in Swedish that takes the subject seriously.
