Even confirmed coffee geeks will benefit from this volume, at once encyclopedic and approachable.-- (12/30/2014) 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): And you have to have the right coarseness setting to get the right coffee powder. James Hoffmann tells you all those secrets, gives you many insider tips and tells you where he gets his most beloved cup of coffee. And he is so honest to tell you, that he hasn´t always made the coffee in his cup himself, that he´s about to enjoy.It's all in the title. From well-respected coffee guru James Hoffmann, The World Atlas of Coffee gives a precise, objective look at all aspects of the coffee production process around the world—species of coffee plant, growing regions, processing methods, roasting, grinding, and brewing. It's objective in that Hoffmann generally presents different options for achieving the aforementioned steps by describing their general effects on the final cup without saying what he personally prefers, though the further you get in the book the more his (worthwhile) opinions begin to become clear. It's precise in its details: ratios of grams of coffee to grams of water recommended for various brewing methods, years in which coffee production began in a various countries, even the harvest seasons and altitude at which coffee is grown in various regions.

I listened to an audio version.

On the other hand, this particular audio book really benefits from being read by its author -- James Hoffmann's enthusiasm about coffee is clearly audible and trully contagious when he delivers the content in his pleasant voice with clear diction and charming British accent. A few weeks ago that I got my first coffee beans and learned to make pour over coffee. I've been fascinating with learning more and more about coffee ever since. This book has been a great resource for me.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. At a minimum, this book is thorough and comprehensive regarding a wide range of coffees and growing locations. If you're REALLY into coffee, the detail may be useful, but it could also be a little overwhelming. But the book certainly lives up to its title as a "world atlas", as it includes coffees/growing areas that I didn't even know produced coffee. Nothing like a good cup of coffee!
