James Hoffmann is an entrepreneur and the international name in coffee, combining expert-level knowledge with a wonderful ability to communicate it. James runs Square Mile Coffee, as well as creating extremely informative, and popular, coffee and equipment reviews for his YouTube and Instagram channels. In his latest book he demonstrates everything you need to know to make consistently excellent coffee at home, including: what equipment is worth buying, and what isn't; how to grind coffee; the basics of brewing for all major equipment (cafetiere, aeropress, stovetop etc); understanding coffee drinks, from the cortado to latte and the perfect espresso.
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.
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.
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.
