If your coffee knowledge could stand to jam with Java and bop with the bean, The World Atlas of Coffee is waiting for you to open it up and enhance your coffee knowledge and technique! From the farm to the cup, from cultivation to preparation, the coffee industry is lovingly and informatively detailed by coffee enthusiast James Hoffmann in a 256 page tripartite form that first covers the system of growing and processing coffee, then details the methods of grinding, roasting and brewing it, and finally goes back to the roots of the beautiful bean by exploring the geographical and historical origins that may vary widely, yet which we can all recognize and appreciate as coffee. Well written and well organized, stunning photographs and straightforward charts explain the apparently minor yet surprisingly major differences in growing regions within a country. Atlas literally put the weight of the world on his shoulders; you’ll find that this atlas places the substance of coffee and its long, magnificent, and ongoing life and adventures comfortably in your hands. If the ultimate coffee table book matches your taste profile, this is the one to invite into your klatsch and home.
