As a coffee snob I enjoyed this cookbook. It has a lengthy section on the history of coffee, types of coffee beans, the roast and brewing. It finishes with a recipe section heavy on beverages and desserts. The author does include a few savory dishes. I found out I was doing some things right and some things wrong when buying and brewing my coffee so that’s a plus.

As a great coffie drinker I read this short cookbook for the fun of it. It provides some cool information about history of coffie, how it was made and where. Second part concrete cooking recipes. Most of this information I already knew but some are new to me.

Quick, time killer. I found most of the info nothing new. Some keen recipes, but I have to many recipe books to keep.
