The coffee book

Varieties, growing regions, barista knowledge and recipes from around the world

From A to Z, from the cultivation of the plant to the variants of preparation of the invigorating drink, this volume from the publisher Dorling Kindersley is dedicated to coffee. Detailed maps, infographics, and explanations cover the coffee-growing regions of the world and bring together everything worth knowing about the history of cultivation, the various types of beans, and harvesting, storage, and processing. The second part, entitled "Coffee Science," focuses on the coffee bean itself. It deals with the selection and roasting of the coveted seeds, on the one hand, and flavor-preserving grinding, on the other. Last but not least, the art of milk frothing, in which talented and skilled baristas regularly hold championship competitions, also plays a role in the preparation of the various coffee specialties. Recipes for hot and cold delicacies with coffee complete the coffee collection.
