Calling all coffee lovers! This book about coffee is not only well-written and easy to follow, but it also features excellent summaries. For true coffee enthusiasts or those aspiring to become one, grab a cup (or two!) and dive into this fantastic read.

This was a really useful book. I have some experience with espresso and pour over and found that this did present information in a way a beginner can use but was still worth it for someone with some experience to dive deeper. The author also lists a ton of resources to continue to explore after finishing the book. It was very approachable and easy to read and would definitely recommend to a beginner all the way through someone who has more developed skills.
