A broad introduction into being a weird coffee person

4 stars

The world of coffee is very confusing for beginners. In this book James Hoffmann provides a broad introduction into enjoying coffee in its various different forms. Sometimes I wished some aspects had more depth, but I guess that wasn’t the point of this book. Also, as someone who watched a lot of his YouTube Videos, I did not learn anything new. Therefore advanced coffee nerds don’t really need this book.

But it’s a great book for someone who wants to start their journey into making delicious coffee.

A great jumping off point

5 stars

Everything you ever wanted to know about how to brew better coffee at home. Lots of explanations, plenty of brew methods and a deeper dive around espresso. I feel far more informed about how to brew different types of coffee at home now. Plus I'm now tooled up to start experimenting with the methods I currently brew with, based to the brew guides and information contained within.

Very helpful, very detailed, lots of background

5 stars

Unless you have seen all his videos on youtube (or don't like coffee at all, you freak!), you need this book. On all kinds of coffee - from french press, filter to espresso and all its variants with mild - James Hoffmann has thought about it, tried a lot of stuff and generated recipes for you to follow and make better coffee.

Great no-fuss guide for home barista

5 stars

I’ve been following James on YouTube for a while now and this book is a summary of his channel. Well-structured and nicely written, it brings you from an absolute beginner in your coffee journey to a somewhat decent home barista.
