The Coffee Atlas: Different Types of Coffee and How They Are Made Around the World
Forget Starbucks -- there's an entire world of coffee waiting to be discovered. Around two billion cups of coffee are consumed across the world every day. Second only to crude oil, it’s the world’s largest traded commodity.
It’s little wonder, then, that coffee is so steeped in culture, with a rich history and a complex social and cultural narrative.
The origin of coffee is shrouded in legend, and no one knows for sure exactly how it was discovered (although its discovery is largely attributed to a herd of energetic Ethiopian goats in 850 A.D.).
Since then, it’s become part and parcel of so many cultures around the world that few people could imagine living without it.
But how much do you really know about your morning cup of joe?
Do you stick to your trusty old favorite on the Starbucks menu? Do you have a particular way you like to make your morning cup? Do you pay attention to the variety of coffee you buy, or do you pick up a grocery store staple with your weekly shop?
Haven’t you ever wondered if there were more ways you could be making your coffee, more variety possible?
Coffee is enshrined in so many cultures around the world that there is a wealth of variations out there -- from bean to brew.
In The Coffee Atlas, you’ll learn that there’s a whole world of coffee waiting to be uncovered. You’ll
A rich but concise history of the humble coffee bean The difference between ‘arabica’ and ‘robusta’ (and what it is you usually drink) When a cherry isn’t a cherry -- and what that has to do with your coffee Crop to A complete understanding of what happened to your coffee beans The complex ethical landscape of the coffee industry -- and how you can be sure your cup is as fair and ethical as possible every time Varieties, brewing methods, and preparations -- learn the jargon for it all and sound like a pro the next time you order! The real reason one continent consumes far less coffee than it exports Unique and unusual coffee preparations from around the world Why one country refuses to succumb to Starbucks (and why you might want to, too!) Expert tips for preparing high quality coffee at home every time Bonus! Clear and simple recipes so you can become your household’s favorite barista (no experience necessary) And much more.
If you stumble to the coffee machine for your caffeine fix each morning with barely a thought about what you’re drinking (or how it could be better), or if you’re stuck in a pumpkin spice latte rut, it’s time to discover coffee’s true secrets.
When you understand where your coffee comes from and all the ways it could be prepared, you’ll discover that you have the key to a whole new world of coffee.
Get ready to expand your coffee horizons!

“Coffee makes the world go round.” This is the opening sentence to Marcia Abrams The Coffee Atlas: Different Types of Coffee and How They Are Prepared Around the World. As an avid coffee drinker myself, I was very interested in this book. I’ve enjoyed coffee from a wide range of different places over the years (The Galapagos, Kenya, Costa Rica, Hawaii, etc.), so I was very curious to see what new information I could learn about my favorite addiction.
The first part of the book is a general introduction to the world of coffee along with some of the broader issues related to coffee growing today. From there, the book breaks down the major geographic regions where coffee is grown.
In addition to information on the different types of coffee, the book goes into detail about how different countries serve and drink their coffee. From the plethora of café drinks seen in the United States, to the more simplistic flat whites commonly seen in Australia and New Zealand, the book discusses how we like our coffee. As someone who has been lucky enough to enjoy coffee both in the United States and abroad, I really appreciated this discussion.
Overall, I think this book is a good introduction to the world of coffee for those who want a brief guide to how the coffee industry works today. There’s even a short recipe guide at the end of the book for those who want a more do-it-yourself approach to their coffee experience.

It's written kind of like a final working project for high school, not bad but not comprehensive. I'd recommend it to someone who's never heard of coffee before
