Delightfully different coffee book I was going to pass this book up — I have too many coffee books that say the same things in different ways. Thankfully, this book deviates from the “said this, said that” and as author Daniel Young puts it, “This book takes a wide view of bean universe via close-ups of coffee subjects….”Those “close-ups” are in the form of a brief (thankfully!) introduction/overview of coffee’s origins, roasting, caffeine content, brewing, tasting, choosing a coffeemaker, and water’s importance…
Really weird. Actual quotation from the book: “As the black coffee’s downward flow decelerates from a steady trickle to a few scattered droplets, the drinker may slip into a hypnotic state, as if his heartbeat had slowed to the pace of the drip. This lull allows the full taste and impact of the strong coffee to be felt in the decisive first sip.”So. Yeah. I guess its ok. The author seems to be like, maybe too into the mundane details of coffee. Its also surprisingly not that informative…
