If you're on a first-name basis with your barista but haven't perfected (or even attempted) making café-quality coffee at home, let Brew show you the way. In this approachable guidebook, author and coffee expert Brian W. Jones demystifies specialty coffee's complexities, teaches you how to buy the best beans and brewing equipment, offers in-depth primers for mastering various slow-coffee techniques (including pour over, French press and moka pot), and supplies you with dozens of recipes for invigorating coffee-based drinks and cocktails. Brew isn't a book for coffee professionals, but rather an indispensable and accessible guide for any specialty-coffee lover who wants to make better coffee at home.

Title: Great complement to other coffee books
Review: This is a perfect companion to other coffee books you might have or for those who are new to coffee and just want some general information. It does not go in depth about the history of coffee or roasting methods or anything like that, but that's fine; it's actually a strength. It is concise and to the point with its information about beans, brewing methods, and tools. It focuses on how to brew coffee in a variety of ways with general and step-by-step instruction for any level. I have been using a French Press for a long time with different results (How long do I brew it? Is this coarse enough or should it be less so? Do I mix immediately or let it steep and then mix? and so on) and would constantly find myself online looking for guidance from any site or person to remind me. With this book, I have a go to source that is quick to check and very clear. It also gives me insight into the other brewing methods that I have wondered about but have been too lazy to look into.The recipes in the back look interesting, and I might try some someday, but for now, the coffee itself is fine. I may even start drinking it sans milk now.

Title: Good read for a coffee book
Review: I saw this book at Peet's one day and couldn't wait to buy it. It gives you some history on the different methods of brewing, straightforward instructions, an unbiased opinion of them and some fun recipes that range from your normal morning brew to an afternoon aperitif.

Title: Lots of information well written but
Review: This is a short, well written book about buying and brewing coffee. It contains information about how and where coffee is grown and processed, a bit about its history and the various types of coffee and equipment and ways to use the equipment. It also has a few coffee recipes in the back for mostly alcohol and coffee drinks. What it doesn’t discuss in any way is air roasting versus drum roasting. It also doesn’t give ballpark prices for coffee equipment and sometimes omits any mention of brands for this equipment. It doesn’t discuss the very large variety of equipment either. Is a glass French Press better or worse than a stainless steel one? Is it better to have ceramic burrs in a burr grinder or metal ones? It’s a super book for beginners and those wanting to learn more but I wish/hope the author writes a Volume 2 and discusses more thoroughly the topics mentioned and maybe adds more info on what places for single-origin coffees have what taste profiles. Worth the money just don’t expect a complete breakdown on everything coffee related.

Title: Gorgeous Photos!
Review: I wanted a helpful coffee book with recipes, tips, etc to help me improve my morning cup of coffee. Having beautiful photos was also important to me since it's being used as a coffee table book. If you're the same, I highly recommend this book!

Review: Hab mir das Buch quasi "blind" gekauft, nachdem ich es auf einem Blog (Becki and Chris) als Dekor gesehen habe.Das Buch kam aus England, und wurde sogar Samstags anstatt wie vorerst angegeben am Montag. Super!Für mich als Laien, der eigentlich nur Kaffee trinkt und geniesst, ist das Buch sehr hilfreich um alles rund um die "goldene Bohne" zu erfahren. Der Autor beginnt mit der Geschichte und Herkunft des Kaffees, den verschiedenen Arten, Zubereitungsmöglichkeiten und schließlich mit Rezepten und Tutorials.Das Buch ist nicht nur informativ sondern macht sich auch gut auf einem Kaffeetisch (pun not intended) oder als Dekor auf der Coffee Bar.Wie in der Überschrift angegeben kann ich dieses Buch jedem Kaffeeliebhaber empfehlen.
