Got this book from a bookstore in Bangkok, 'A Book with No Name’, a quaint little place with resident cats. This gem of a read probably mirrors the bookstore's air. Unsuspecting, gentle and grounding. A great book for those who have, on one too many occasions, wondered at the options available in cafes: robusta or arabica? light, medium or dark roast? single origin or blend? It's a simple starter guide on what coffee is, where it comes from and how it comes to be... in the cup that is brewed for you or you've brewed yourself. Woven through the author's own quiet quest for the best coffee is an invitation to find your own. You'll eventually come to realise that you don't have to look too far. You can start by noticing what you already have, and work outward from there. Recommended for those who want to have less confounding cafe experiences, and wake up on ordinary mornings to the best coffee for themselves.
