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

Part 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 Not much of this part was new to me, and, in some instances (like some of the brew methods), it was actually outdated! 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.It was cool to see how the coffee is harvested and processed and in the end, how it's roasted, ground, and eventually brewed (there is apparently lots of ways to brew coffee I realized) and... finally drank by us. The World Atlas of Coffee: From Beans to Brewing -- Coffees Explored, Explained and Enjoyed, by James Hoffmann, is a fascinating encyclopedia looking at coffee in all its forms globally. The book explores the plant, its cultivation and production, the development of coffee drinking as a beverage, the composition of the bean, its various species, roasting and harvesting techniques, and how to brew the beverage in various forms to promote high quality taste and flavour. It also explores, country by country, where beans are grown, and what to look for in the regions highest quality beans.

Nothing in this world is for certain. There is a huge amount of experience, instinct and knowledge necessary to be successful in this business and that most of the time quantity comes before quality and that not every coffee bean is destined to give you a good or even better great tasting cup of coffee. The subject of coffee has never been more, er, hot, and The World Atlas of Coffee takes a close look at its history and evolution, the international range of beans and all the best ways to enjoy 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 expert 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. 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. If they actually want to know the difference between Columbian, Ethiopian, and Puerto Rican beans, then this will serve as their Rosetta Stone for coffee. Esquire

Highly recommended for those, who consider coffee to be way more than the following quote from the book (it is lovely to notice the author's aversion to commodity coffees): 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. World 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.

So, even if I don't agree 100%, I appreciate the efforts and it's given me a new list of things to try. No matter if you´re a coffee junkie, or if you´re one of the many people who simply like to enjoy a decent cup of coffee after work.
