Our mission is to make good coffee accessible and exciting, simple to understand and appreciate, and easy to brew and enjoy. — Market Lane Coffee

It was not until I searched for this book under its full title Coffee from bean to the perfect brew that I was able to find it. Searching Coffee, brought up many books on coffee, too many, even How Starbucks Saved My Life, but not Coffee.

Coffee, written by Jason Scheltus and illustrated by Daniella Germain, is a useful introduction to the world of coffee.

Topics covered, country of origin, differences between robusta and aribica, home roasting, grinding the beans, how to brew that perfect coffee.
