The World Atlas of Coffee: From beans to brewing - coffees explored, explained and enjoyed

Product Information

Part 1 was short but interesting as I learned about the varieties of coffee plants and bean processing. If you have been watching James’s videos for a while, most of the information in the book was already shared in said YouTube videos.

The World Atlas of Coffee: From beans to brewing - coffees

Taking the reader on a global tour of coffee-growing countries, The World Atlas of Coffee presents the bean in full-color photographs and concise, informative text. It shows the origins of coffee -- where it is grown, the people who grow it; and the cultures in which coffee is a way of life -- and the world of consumption -- processing, grades, the consumer and the modern culture of coffee. Coffee has never been better, or more interesting, than it is today. Coffee producers have access to more varieties and techniques than ever before and we, as consumers, can share in that expertise to make sure the coffee we drink is the best we can find. Where coffee comes from, how it was harvested, the roasting process and the water used to make the brew are just a few of the factors that influence the taste of what we drink. Champion barista and coffee roaster James Hoffmann examines these key factors, looking at varieties of coffee, the influence of terroir, how it is harvested and processed, the roasting methods used, through to the way in which the beans are brewed. urn:lcp:worldatlasofcoff0000hoff:epub:7ffce68f-55ed-43b3-b4bf-63caeecef83b Foldoutcount 0 Identifier worldatlasofcoff0000hoff Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2qk8nvmr4v Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781770854703Part 2 was okay; however, a lot of its contents are on his YouTube channel. Not much of this part was new to me, and, in some instances (like some of the brew methods), it was actually outdated! I also found that the objectivity of Hoffmann's approach made the latter sections of the book a bit repetitive. While it's wonderful that coffee from Colombia can be fruity, floral, or have a heavier body, to cover all his bases, Hoffman employs a certain vagueness in outlining the flavors of coffee varietals which I found to be annoyingly similar across a number of disparate countries. Let me be clear: as a detail-oriented coffee aficionado myself, I love the detail that Hoffmann put into his work; I just wish he'd balanced the book out more, spending equal time talking about things like the history of coffee consumption, anything having to do with decaf, specifics of flavor differences found in high quality cups, hand grinders vs electric, or even an explanation as to why he hates percolators with such passion. Aside from that last one and decaf, these topics are all described, just not with the detail he gave regarding coffee producing countries. Then again, it is The World ATLAS of Coffee, so maybe I was expecting the wrong thing.
