For anyone who wants to understand coffee and its infinite nuances and possibilities, this is the book to read. Coffee has never been better or more interesting or easier to explore than it is today. Coffee producers have access to more variations and techniques than ever before and we as consumers can tap into that expertise to make sure the coffee we drink is the best we can find. Where the coffee comes from, plant height, how it was harvested, the fermentation process, the roasting process and the water and method used to brew are just some of the factors that affect the taste, experience and consistency of what we drink. The Greta Garbo of the coffee world, James Hoffmann, explores these key factors in this solid book, looking at coffee varieties, the impact of terroir, how it is harvested and processed, the roasting methods used and the way the beans are brewed. Then, country by country, from Bolivia to Zambia, he identifies the key characteristics and practices that determine the quality of the country's coffee. Along the way, we learn about everything from the development of the espresso machine to a critique of conventional coffee. This is the first book to map coffee production in over 35 countries, covering knowledge never before published outside the coffee industry. This is the second edition.
