Good times for coffee lovers。 Bonus if you're into Hoffman's excellent YouTube channel: He also narrates， giving that additional charm and energy。 Good times for coffee lovers。 Bonus if you're into Hoffman's excellent YouTube channel: He also narrates， giving that additional charm and energy。 。。。more

Neat to see the work a professional roaster has to do to procure high quality beans

Brilliant coffee table book。 I know you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover， but it’s a great cover。 Made to feel like a sack of coffee。 Anyone who enjoys his YouTube channel will love the book and vice versa。

Very interesting if you want to learn about how coffee is produced and how to make good coffee yourself。 The last part concerning coffee producing countries was very detailed， so I skipped some of it。 I think I'll return to the most interesting parts of the book later。 Very interesting if you want to learn about how coffee is produced and how to make good coffee yourself。 The last part concerning coffee producing countries was very detailed， so I skipped some of it。 I think I'll return to the most interesting parts of the book later。 。。。more

A must read for any coffee addict。 Downside of reading this is that you'll realize how shit is the coffee you've been drinking your whole life A must read for any coffee addict。 Downside of reading this is that you'll realize how shit is the coffee you've been drinking your whole life 。。。more

Certainly interesting。 Although I realized I'm not that a big coffee nerd while reading this book。 It was cool to see how the coffee is harvested and processed and in the end， how it's roasted， ground， and eventually brewed （there is apparently lots of ways to brew coffee I realized） and。。。 finally drank by us。 A key point I will take away is to only buy coffee that can be traced back to the farmer and comes from a brand that can be trusted to improve the farmers' pay and life quality。 Certainly interesting。 Although I realized I'm not that a big coffee nerd while reading this book。 It was cool to see how the coffee is harvested and processed and in the end， how it's roasted， ground， and eventually brewed （there is apparently lots of ways to brew coffee I realized） and。。。 finally drank by us。 A key point I will take away is to only buy coffee that can be traced back to the farmer and comes from a brand that can be trusted to improve the farmers' pay and life quality。 。。。more

Titled "atlas"， you treat this book a map。 And as a map， this book comes with extraordinary detail of reference and historical background of its specialty， coffee。 Whether you are occasional coffee drinker， avid individual coffee brewer， barista of coffee chain， or even owner of a caffe， it will be beneficiary for you to read this book。 A highly recommended one。 Titled "atlas"， you treat this book a map。 And as a map， this book comes with extraordinary detail of reference and historical background of its specialty， coffee。 Whether you are occasional coffee drinker， avid individual coffee brewer， barista of coffee chain， or even owner of a caffe， it will be beneficiary for you to read this book。 A highly recommended one。 。。。more

This book is most suitable for table-top with beautiful cover and full color illustrations。

A fantastic guide into the world of coffee。 This is less of a book in terms of a story but more of a reference。 This covers everything from what is coffee and how it’s made， to the differences between different types of drinks， and ends with a world wide tour of where it comes from。 A fascinating read for anyone who is interested in coffee。

I am a complete coffee n00b。 This gave me a good， broad overview not just of the types of coffee but the history as well。 I’m sure I’ll be referring back to it fairly often。

Read the first half of the book closely， very useful and easy to understand fundamentals of coffee in the first half of the book。 Skipped the second half as it is more of a coffee map that you come back and check every time you got a new coffee from a different region。 I checked several regions and I think the history of planting coffee and the profile of the products in different regions are clearly stated。 The author must’ve done thorough research on each origin to finish this book。

Really well written and the illustrations were *chef's kiss*。A well-rounded intro to coffee-ology book。 Wish it had more in-depth discussion and methods on home-brewing （as I would say 80% of the reader are coffee consumers rather than coffee producers）。 Really well written and the illustrations were *chef's kiss*。A well-rounded intro to coffee-ology book。 Wish it had more in-depth discussion and methods on home-brewing （as I would say 80% of the reader are coffee consumers rather than coffee producers）。 。。。more

James Hoffmann versteht sein Fach wie kaum ein anderer。 Und wunderbares Buch， das sowohl optisch als auch inhaltlich vollkommen überzeugt。 Die Tiefe der Materie ist genau richtig， sodass Neulinge auf dem Gebiet des Kaffees nicht abgeschreckt werden， aber auch Veteranen interessiert bleiben， was vor allem an der herrlichen Aufbereitung und der wirklich gelungenen optischen Aufmachung liegt。

This book explains everything you'd want to know about coffee， from the growing process to how to brew the perfect cup。 Hoffman also provides the history of each country involved in making high-quality Arabica coffee， as well as what each region's coffee can taste like and how the coffee is processed。 This book explains everything you'd want to know about coffee， from the growing process to how to brew the perfect cup。 Hoffman also provides the history of each country involved in making high-quality Arabica coffee， as well as what each region's coffee can taste like and how the coffee is processed。 。。。more

Overall this was a very interesting book to read！ - I will say that towards the end it read more like an encyclopaedia of coffee grown in each region of all countries。。 most of which I believe has been updated in a 2nd edition。But I would recommend this book if you want to learn more about our favourite roasted bean juice！

I read this after reading Jessica Easto's "Craft Coffee" and it was very different。 Craft Coffee was more of an introduction and how-to manual – it has recipes for many different brew methods。 Hoffman's book， by contrast， felt like a celebration of all things coffee。 It discusses nearly every day of coffee， from it's history to home roasting。 Plus， the photography is breath-taking。The first two thirds is a delight to read。 It's a short of coffee 101 and brewing 101。 The final third， by contrast， I read this after reading Jessica Easto's "Craft Coffee" and it was very different。 Craft Coffee was more of an introduction and how-to manual – it has recipes for many different brew methods。 Hoffman's book， by contrast， felt like a celebration of all things coffee。 It discusses nearly every day of coffee， from it's history to home roasting。 Plus， the photography is breath-taking。The first two thirds is a delight to read。 It's a short of coffee 101 and brewing 101。 The final third， by contrast， felt like a reference。 There are pages for nearly every coffee-producing country and region。I can see myself referencing Easto's book more when brewing a cup， and Hoffman's book more when tasting a cup。 。。。more

Undeniably a book for hardcore enthusiasts who crave detail - and in this respect it excels。 I should've known better given the title， but this book works much better as a reference text than as something you'd read cover to cover。 It is an atlas in the truest sense of the word。I found the volume of information a little difficult to digest， and would've preferred more advice about brewing and tasting at home， but I'm rating this 4/5 for the sheer quality of research and presentation here。 If you Undeniably a book for hardcore enthusiasts who crave detail - and in this respect it excels。 I should've known better given the title， but this book works much better as a reference text than as something you'd read cover to cover。 It is an atlas in the truest sense of the word。I found the volume of information a little difficult to digest， and would've preferred more advice about brewing and tasting at home， but I'm rating this 4/5 for the sheer quality of research and presentation here。 If you're passionate about coffee， this is arguably a must-own。 。。。more

I have had so many questions about coffee。 This excellent book answered most of them。I am getting older and I did find the text spindly and very hard to read。 Shame！

Vibrant， exciting and very informative - albeit brief。 It is succinct and detailed

First book I read about coffee。 Interesting for each brewing method and origin to be explained thoroughly。 Overall， a good introduction to coffee。 Although， saw a few minor typo errors。 I rate it at 4。5 because I feel like it needed a little something （e。g。， illustrations） to make it better。 I would appreciate a more even discussion on some regions， which I guess is due to readily available data。

Must read for anyone who wants to understand the intricacies of growing coffee to brewing it。 It certainly deepened my appreciation of the morning ritual。
