A good book on Coffee and Barista, it can be a good starter book for Barista training. What's disappointing is author's narrow vision of what she calls 'the world.' She has mentioned several countries that produce and export coffee, but there is no mention of Yemen (except for its name in the history section), or any other Middle Eastern country.
Coffee was first made in Yemen. Yemeni coffee is still considered the best by many. Then there is Iraqi version, Saudi version, Syrian version, and so on.
Not sure why the authors in the West want the map of the world without the Middle East. I consider this book to be 'incomplete.'

Our family budget has severely dwindled since paying for two kids in daycare. My husband and I used to go out for coffee every Saturday morning and out to eat every Sunday morning, and now those are no longer options for us (love that we don't have to rush out of the house on weekend mornings anymore though!). Couple that with sleep deprivation and I've become a little obsessed with my morning coffee. I allow myself one cup a day, so it better darn well be good.
I checked this one out from the library before we were gifted a Nespresso machine last year and I loved it but I didn't have time to try any of the recipes. The first half comprises history, different types of coffee via geographic location, different brewing methodologies, etc. The second half is full of recipes, which I love and include flavor combinations I wouldn't have thought of on my own. I am (hopefully) temporarily dairy-free and there are even a few recipes for me in the book. Now we can use our drip coffee maker and espresso machine to make fancy drinks on the weekends for a fraction of the price of our previous weekend luxuries.
And I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the book is visually stunning... right on par with most DK books which are loved by all members of our family. Now to see if they have published/will publish a similar book on tea (update: The Tea Book)!

Very informative and a great coffee table book!
I got this one from the library but plan on buying a copy for myself. I'll be a barista in no time... 😂

Αυτές τις μέρες που ήταν αφιερωμένες στην οικογένεια, το φαγητό και τα πολλά αφεψήματα, το βιβλίο «Τα Μυστικά του Καφέ» ταίριαξαν απόλυτα! Ένα βιβλίο που θα λατρέψει ο κάθε αρχάριος barista και λάτρης του καφέ μιας και μέσα αναφέρονται βασικά ιστορικά γεγονότα, η προέλευση του καφέ, η διαδικασία συλλογής, συνταγές και πολλά άλλα που θα εμπλουτίσουν τις γνώσεις μας!
Προσωπικά, αν και θα ήθελα ακόμα περισσότερες πληροφορίες για τη διαδικασία παρασκευής των καφέδων, παρ’ όλα αυτά, το λάτρεψα και το διάβαζα όπου στεκόμουν!

I drink coffee every day so I thought why not learn a lot more about it.
This book is more of a skimmer and a reference book if anything. But still a good starter book for a noob like me.
Cool info about different coffee producers around the world, recipes, and techniques. Will I ever stop just force grinding beans and using a mr. coffee though? We’ll see

Reading about coffee in general and looking at all the coffee recipes made me fantasise about buying a coffee maker machine once again... or maybe two coffee machines and a French press! I love coffee and I think this "coffee table book" (pun intended) will be of use to all coffee enthusiasts.

Кофений талаар анхны мэдлэг өгчхөөр товчхон, сонирхолтой ном байна.
Хураангуйлвал: Хүн төрөлхтөн анх кофег 1000 гаруй жилийн өмнө нээж илрүүлсэн байж магадгүй гэсэн таамаглал олон байдаг аж. Гэхдээ түүхийн баримтаас харахад 1400-гээд оны үед Африкийн боолууд кофег Йемэн Улсад аваачиж байсан бөгөөд Йемений иргэд кофены жимснээс гаргаж авсан “Quishr” нэртэй цайг шөнийн мөргөлийн үеэр сэрүүн байхын тулд хэрэглэдэг байж. Дараагаар нь 1500-аад оны үеэр Арабад анх кофены үрийг хуурч, бутлан ууж эхэлснээр өнөөдрийн бидний хэрэглэж заншсан кофе үүссэн байна.
Кофены модыг Coffea гэж нэрлэдэг бөгөөд ерөнхий 4 төрөлд хамаарах 124 зүйл одоогоор тогтоогдсон байгаа. Тус мод нь мөнх ногоон бөгөөд дэлхийн 70 гаруй улсад ургадаг гэнэ. Кофены хамгийн түгээмэл төрөл нь Arabica, Robusta. Энэ 2 төрлөөс Arabica нь амт чанарын хувьд хавьгүй илүү бөгөөд Африк, Америк тивүүдэд ихэвчлэн тариалагддаг бол Азийн орнууд ихэвчлэн Robusta-г тариалдаг. Дэлхийд кофены үйлдвэрлэлээрээ Бразил, Вьетнам, Индонез, Колумб, Этиоп улсууд тэргүүлдэг бөгөөд нийт үйлдвэрлэлийн 67 орчим хувийг энэ 5 улс бүрдүүлдэг. Энд Индонез нь кофе тариалж эхэлсэн Африкийн биш анхны улс бөгөөд 1696 оноос хойш тариалж байгаа аж.
Кофег хэрэглэхдээ бүхэл үрээр нь хадгалан уухынхаа өмнө буталж чанасан нь илүү тохиромжтой байдаг юм байна. Учир нь буталсан кофе нь чанараа хэдхэн цаг хадгалах чадвартай байдаг. Кофегоо үрээр нь вакуум, харанхуй, хуурай орчинд төрөл бүрийн хурц үнэрээс хол хадгалж байгаарай. Мөн Индонез, Болив, Перу гэх зэрэг зарим улсуудын хувьд үйлдвэрлэл, логистикийн олон асуудлууд ихтэй байдаг нь кофены чанарт шууд нөлөөлдөг. Тиймээс хэрвээ эдгээр улсуудын кофег авах гэж байгаа бол аль болох алдартай, найдвартай үйлдвэрлэгчийг сонгосон нь дээр юм байна.
Кофе нь түр хугацаанд бидний ой тогтоолт, анхаарал төвлөрөх чадамжийг дэмжиж өгдөг бөгөөд хэрэв кофе уугаад сэргэг мэдрэмж авахаа больсон бол өдөр бүр өөр өөр цагт ууж хэвшээрэй гэж зөвлөсөн байна. Сонирхуулахад Дэлхийн 2-р дайны үеэр Европт байсан Америк цэргүүдэд эспрессоны амт хэтэрхий хүчтэй санагдсан учраас усаар шингэлж уун Америкона үүссэн гэжээ.

This book gives a one page basic breakdown of the various aspects of coffee including some history, growing, processing, cupping, and flavors. It is illustrated beautifully for visual learners and general aesthetic. We are given a snap shot into all the different countries that produce coffee beans and given some characteristic info of the regions within. We are then shown a variety of brewing methods and equipment, giving instructions a d proportions for brewing a good cup of coffee. The last 75 pages of the book are recipes for making different coffees, from your basic latte/cappuccino, to some fancy treats like affogato.
The wheel of flavors is a huge resource for me as a barista trying to get better at describing the flavor profile of different coffees. Knowing more indepth about the flavors a coffee offers helps me recommend a delicious coffee that matches the profile a customer is looking for.
I also really appreciated the quick facts of all the coffee producing countries. I knew the regions of production in each continent, however I didn't know every country that produces nor what their individual coffee life looks like.
I recommend this book as a starting point for people learning about coffee, as well as visual learners. The knowledge is very basic and presented in easy to chew on ways. It gives you a glimpse into the world for further exploration, and it also gave me more avenues that I want to research next in my coffee knowledge journey.

I have to be honest. I didn't read this book I skimmed it. It was interesting but I think this book is for people more into the details of coffee than I am. I drink Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks blonde roast coffee from a 4 cup coffee maker. I don't seem to be able to remember the difference between a latte and a capuchino. I can't even spell cappuchino. If you're interested in coffee beans, the countries they come from, how to make coffee and even want to try making your own precisely then this book is probably for you. And then there are so many recipes from all over the world. The ingredients are likely to be problematic though once you get beyond the very basic, but the recipes are awesome, fantastical, mind boggling. For example, how about some rum flavored ice cubes or soy ice cream. Cool book and certainly worth looking through, but not really a practical book unless you want to open a certain type of coffee shop or are bored and have a ninja coffee maker.

This is hardcover and opens flat on the table or counter. I've drunk a zillion cups of coffee and I learned a lot from the book. The history of coffee, the family tree, methods of harvesting, measures of quality, home roasting and grinding, are all covered and well illustrated. There's a good explanation of all the brewing methods and a good section on all the world's coffee growing countries, and a section for baristas on brewing specialized coffees, like Mazagran. I learned how to make better coffee with my french press from this book.

This morning, while sipping my latte, I wanted to learn about the history of coffee and decided to look it up in the DK encyclopedia.
It turns out that coffee has a history of about 1,000 years and that it not only tastes great, but also has health benefits such as improving concentration and controlling blood sugar levels.
Looking back at the history of coffee, it is sad to know that slaves from African countries spread it to Arab countries.
I remember the first time I made coffee with an espresso machine when I was a uni student working part time in a café.
In Japan, cafes with baristas serve elaborate hand-drip coffee, but in the U.S. you rarely see that.
Even in Honolulu, Hawaii, where I live, you can find good local coffee.
On the way to the North Shore, you will pass coffee fields so you can see the red seeds on the coffee trees.
When you are traveling to Hawaii, please stop by "Island Vintage Coffee" or "Honolulu Coffee" rather than Starbucks Coffee.

“The Coffee Book (2021)” has exactly the same content as “Coffee Obsession (2014)” which is an encyclopedia by the same DK.

Great book for the novel coffee connoisseur. Begins with an intro into coffee and its origins then breaks down the types, flavor profiles and parts of the final product, coffee. From there it details the top producing coffee countries from around the world including information on certain growing regions, unique flavor profiles and species among other pertinent info. The authors did well in making each country’s profile unique and interesting by adding relevant distinct facts. The book ends with an overview of multiple different brewing methods followed by a ton of different coffee recipes from around the world. Some of which are well known and others of which I just heard of by reading this book. Overall I’d highly recommend this book as a started for anyone looking to dive deeper into the world of coffee. I’d also like to note that the book can be read through rather quickly or used as a reference tool when seeking out specific info.

I am not a coffee person actually i am not a caffeine person at all. I drink coffee or tea when i feel that my body needs its dose, and that is about a cup a week sometimes a month. But this book was super. Beside being very informative with a lot and a lot of pictures to show the right cup of coffee, the right coffee beans, the right way to roast them, with amazing recipes for your coffee. The only thing that i missed in that book is the Arabic coffee recipe , and the author didn’t make right search about the turkish coffee recipe . It was in the book but was missing some details about turkish coffee . Still , to be honest, the author has done an amazing job for all the book . Recommending it for any coffee fan or any one one who wants to become a barsita. This book is your right choice for the right cup of coffee.

Parasti nelasu šāda veida grāmatas, bet, gatavojoties konkursam, šis materiāls bija neatsverams. Grāmata ir ļoti izzinoša, un noteikti noderīga gan iesācējam, gan pieredzējušam kafijas entuziastam. Viss ir aprakstīts sīki, smalki un pārdomāti, no pupiņas līdz tasītei. Var just, ka autore ir ieguldījusi milzīgu darbu un rūpību, pētot katru niansi.
Grāmatā soli pa solim aprakstītas kafijas gatavošanas metodes dažādās ierīcēs, doti praktiski padomi. Vairāk nekā 100 kafijas receptes no visas pasaules. Grāmata arī sniedz ieskatu kafijas vēsturē un kultūrā.
Šī grāmata mani patiesi bagātināja. Iesaku ikvienam kafijmīlim - šis ir ceļojums pa kafijas pasauli! ☕️❤️

An excellent overview of all things practical about coffee. The section on brewing techniques alone was worth the book.
The recipe section at the end was almost everything I had hoped for-- though if you didn't have an espresso machine, it would be worth very little to you. A little more emphasis on drip/filter/French press/kettle coffee would have been nice. The recipes were entirely for coffee beverages, not cooking with coffee, but there's something to be said for thoroughness in one limited area.
A book I'd be happy to own and add to my kitchen library.

DK does illustrated information so well. This has a lot of facts about coffee and recipes.
The middle section is full of detailed infographics about all the major coffee-producing countries, but it does something really rare and great. Every few pages it throws in a page of completely different information to give the reader a break, so one can appreciate the country information fresh.
Several of my family members enjoyed it, including my eight-year-old who doesn’t drink coffee.

Good and easy read, very easy read in fact. Easy to follow and informative with lots of information on coffee from around the world. Has a big coffee recipe section at the end which I haven't delved into yet but skimming through it looks exciting with lots of ideas I never would have thought of (such as putting apple in coffee ! ?)

A very interesting book, which expands on the information found in other books such as The World Atlas of Coffee by including immensely helpful images and graphics, information on coffee-making equipment uncommon in the West (like the Vietnamese phin and Turkish ibrik) and a huge list of different recipes.

I found this book easy to follow and understand on the variety of coffee aspects it covers. I am excited to try out some of the recipes provided.
I'd say the only thing that did not come across quite as clearly is some of the differences in basic drinks, like a classic latte vs a flat white.

I like this book a lot but I don't find it as easy to use as the World Atlas of Coffee, and although it covers topics in a different way which is useful, I find I don't use it as often as James Hoffman's book.

It’s nice book with good details on all that’s coffee. Consists of three main subjects: the coffee theorie, the places of origin and the vast ways of making coffee.
A bit of both: fun for the coffee table but also fun as coffee summary to review once every now and then when specialty coffee is bought 🙂

War informativ, aber für mich ein bisschen zu detailliert. Ich muss nicht unbedingt wissen, welches Land auf Platz 48 des Exports ist, für andere kann das aber ganz interessant sein. Bin aber ansonsten vollkommen zufrieden mit dem Buch :) Die Autorin hat tolle Arbeit geleistet!

Got obsessed about coffee thanks to this book. I started to fall in love with specialty coffee inspired by the vivid illustrations and descriptions from the book.
