MY THOUGHTS
I was sent this book in exchange for my honest review.
If you love coffee and want to learn more about it origins, the different flavors and types out there, this book will give you all that and so much more. If you travel and want to know where to get the best coffee on your trip, then bring this book along. There is so much information about coffee and tips, locations, photos, how-to's and more. I leave this book on my coffee table for others to enjoy too!
I think every coffee shop should have this book at the counter to sell. You'll be amazed how useful and informative this little book is.
It’s a beautiful coffee table book. Now it’s outdated, and undermines (accidentally perhaps) all the amazing coffee culture of the USA. It literally “skims through” the entire country. So, glad I have it for the pics, but some places it lists are now closed, and other places are not considered at all (sorry Boston, I guess you’re stuck with the stereotype of having too many tea parties). All in all, worth a peak, but go elsewhere for your info…and check the print date so that you get something AFTER 2023.
We coffee-lovers all know that coffee has more offerings than just a beverage to life. An idea of world tour about coffee isn't so spectacular yet its collection of practices on ever nourishing this world treasury heritage is so soul-satisfying.
An excellent guide for the traveling coffee drinker. This book discusses the types of coffees, flavors, how the coffee bean is roasted, how to order a coffee, places to go and get and a cup of joe and nearby attractions to the local cafes to visit.
