4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good, but not perfect,
By Michael Kingsley Burton (Western Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Complete Coffee Book: A Gourmet Guide to Buying, Brewing, and Cooking Revised and Updated (Paperback)
"The New Complete Coffee Book" is an excellent coffee table book on coffee. It tells you most of what you need to know, and is impressively presented in a way which would look good on any coffee table.Nonetheless, this book could, I feel, have done with a few more basic bits of information. I would have enjoyed a section on how to make basic coffee (ie latte, cappucino, machiato) - even if these are considered 'simple' coffee making skills. Also, a bit more information on the different aspects of different coffee region produce would have been good. Furthermore, there is a section on savoury coffee meals (lamb with coffee rub, anyone?) which can at best be described as superflous. On the whole, though, the book is pretty damn good, and certainly worthy of purchase. I am very happy with it.
