Named a top food & drink book of 2017 by Food Network, Wired,
Sprudge, and Booklist.
This comprehensive but accessible handbook is for the average coffee
lover who wants to make better coffee at home. Unlike other coffee
books, this one focuses exclusively on coffee--not espresso--and
explores multiple pour-over, immersion, and cold-brew techniques on 10
different devices.
Thanks to a small but growing number of dedicated farmers, importers,
roasters, and baristas, coffee quality is at an all-time high. But for
nonprofessionals, achieving café quality at home can seem out of reach.
With dozens of equipment options, conflicting information on how to use
that equipment, and an industry language that, at times, doesn't seem
made for the rest of us, it can be difficult to know where to begin.
Craft Coffee: A Manual, written by a coffee enthusiast for coffee
enthusiasts, is a comprehensive guide to improving your brew at home.
The book provides all the information readers need to discover what they
like in a cup of specialty coffee--and how to replicate the perfect cup
day after day. From the science of extraction and brewing techniques to
choosing equipment and deciphering coffee bags, Craft Coffee focuses
on the issues--cost, time, taste, and accessibility--that home coffee
brewers negotiate and shows that no matter where you are in your coffee
journey, you can make a great cup at home.
