The thing about crossword puzzles is that even hard-core fans sometimes like to do an easy and fun puzzle. These ones are great. An excellent puzzler should be able to complete them in 10-15 minutes or less, a decent puzzler should easily have them done in under 20 minutes. The title is no joke: these really are great puzzles for your coffee break. This little book makes a great stocking stuffer!

Since I am a very enthusiastic crossword puzzler and since I live in an area of the world where they are unavailable, it isn't always easy trying to find something you like on-line. The good news is that the N.Y. Times Coffee Break book is EXACTLY what it says it is......I love it! It is easy but not
"brain-less" easy. Yes, the puzzles can be done in a coffee break! I only wish there were more puzzles in the book! I know I will finish the book too quickly. Buy and enjoy!

Well, pretty easy but not THAT easy. Finishing one on a coffee break is probably not something I could always do. They are fun and in a good format.

I find crosswords a way to relax and the Light and Easy series are just that. Not too hard, but engaging enough to keep me interested. The size of the puzzles makes it easy to finish one relatively quickly. The book size is convenient for carrying around. The expert crossword addict may find these too easy, but for the rest of us the Light and Easy series are fun. Great airplane/airport activity.

I enjoy this crossword puzzle book because the puzzles CAN be solved - and finished! I can't finish a NY Times Sunday crossword puzzle without help and that's frustrating. These puzzles are quick and easy, but still make you think. I keep the book in my car to use at times when I have to wait.

This is the first crossword book I have ever purchased, being that I am just getting the hang of puzzling. I've done five or six of the puzzles and they have all been done in less than 1/2 hour. The paper quality seemed poor when I first got it, but it does hold up well and is easy to use a pencil on. For less than eight bucks this is a great deal.

I bought this book to have crosswords to work whilst traveling. I didn't want anything that was too hard, but not too easy either. These fit the bill and the price is right.

My husband and I start the morning with a crossword puzzle and a cup of coffee. Puzzles in this book are quick and easy -- a good way to start the day.

This crossword book is WAY overpriced. I only bought it to meet the free shipping purchase amount on another item. I really consider it packing material.
