A friend made me espresso one day, it was fantastic, then told me of many way to make coffee.. I was inspired to buy this book and learn a few tricks myself..

There is a lot of information in this little book! If you really want to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee this book is a good place to start. The author gives information starting with the beans before roasting. I probably won't be starting out roasting my own beans. But this book still provided me with information that, I believe, will improve my coffee. Three methods of brewing are discussed and suggestions are made. I believe that most coffee drinkers who are looking for a better cup of coffee will find this book useful.

Good read for anyone that drinks coffee

This was a good read. It was the perfect length and provide enough helpful material to brew that perfect cup. Although I already knew most of the information contained it was well written and provided a refresher to what I have read and researched. It also offered a few things I didn't know as well.

Coffee info

Coffee making is more involved than I had known it to be. Lots of good information in this short interesting book.

The book is short but gives some useful tips for making great coffee. Written on non-scientific language that everybody can understand. It serves as an introduction to coffee brewing for beginners.
