Discovering, Exploring, Enjoying

Coffee — Ellis Hattie and Debi Treloar

I often find interesting books in Cafe Mila, not the rubbish hyped by marketing.

It was in Cafe Mila I picked up and had a browse of Coffee.

A glossy picture with facing page text printed on glossy paper making difficult to read. The two contributors not experts on coffee.

Not a book I would recommend.

coffee books at Makushi

For a brief introduction, cannot go far wrong with How to Brew the Perfect Cup from Union Hand-Roasted Coffee.

For something can easily read in afternoon, or browse in a coffee shop, Coffee and Cold Brew Coffee.

For something more substantial, the definitive guides to coffee, but still can be browsed whilst sitting in a coffee shop, The World Atlas of Coffee, The Best of JimSeven and Real Fresh Coffee.

To curl up and read, God in a Cup.

For coffee culture, subscribe to Standart.

For visual, two films, Black Gold and A Film About Coffee.
