This entertaining and informative coffee book from the cofounders of Sprudge, the world’s most popular coffee website, shows readers the many ways they can enjoy coffee at home, from detailed instructions on countertop brewing methods like Chemex, AeroPress, and French press to recipes that use coffee as an ingredient in cocktails, milkshakes, floats, and even a spice rub.

The book also includes tips and guidance on the gear you need to create the home coffee experience that’s right for you; expert instructions for more than two-dozen brewing methods for coffee and espresso; and sections on how to build a mug collection and how to find the best coffee beans on the market.

Good recipes, good recommendations. The authors sometimes come off as a bit too East Coast/West Coast hip, too urban (and, perhaps too urbane) but otherwise a useful resource. Found a few drinks I want to try and it did encourage me to replace my French press....so, a success.

Pretty good, wish it had more recipes in it for how to flavor coffee and not just use the wide variety of coffee brewing tools. Otherwise awesoem!
