This review is from: The Great Coffee Book (Paperback)
While priced and sized like a trade paperback, The Great Coffee book combines the visual seduction of a coffee table book with first-rate, thoroughly up-to-date writing. The authors have the rare ability to distill vast experience into clear and concise prose, and their coffee selection and brewing suggestions guarantee the reader great coffee while helping them to avoid costly mistakes in coffee and equipment selections. The coffee recipes are among the best anywhere.
