A Great Gift

This is a terrific gift for someone who is a coffee aficionado. A great beginner's guide for people who wants to learn the many types of coffee around the world; different ways to roast, grind, and blend that perfect brew.

EXCELLENT BOOK

This excellent book is well illustrated in color, with encyclopedic information on everything related to coffee: How and where it is grown, roasting, grinding, the best methods for brewing, and a section on the different coffees of the world. A great book whether you are new to gourmet coffee or a seasoned drinker.Highly recommended.

The Coffee Companion

GOOD ALLROUND INFORMATIVE READ, EASY TO FOLLOW AND UNDERSTAND, HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WANTING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT COFFEE IS ALL ABOUT.

Informative book about coffee

This is a very good book for those with a beginning interest in coffee. It is a survey book on the subjects of tasting, roasting,grinding, making, buying, and storing coffee. It is an overview, not an indepth discussion. The book is filled with beautiful pictures. Part two of the book is a global coffee directory that is very informative about world growing regions. It includes a "flavor profile" that tells you what to expect from coffees of each region.

Great Book

This is great book, which gives you importand and necessary information. Easy to read, pretty pictures. Good choice as a gift for coffe lovers.
