Coffee enthusist trying to learn more about describing coffee The book is quite informative. I really have been looking for a reference that provides the scales for describing coffee: aroma, acidity, body, flavor and aftertaste are some of the standard descriptive categories and the descriptor for the extremes and midpoints of each category. I also wanted to see several coffees rated on these scales so I could calibrate myself to what muddy, complex, etc. really means. This was missing. My search continues.
I have only skimmed through the book and am very pleased so far I was not expecting this until the middle of November, and it came last week. The packaging said that their was some kind of damage to the book, but I could not see any visible damage. I have only skimmed through the book and am very pleased so far. I recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about the history of coffee, where it comes from, how it is processed, and the different brewing methods.
The History part is good! I was very excited about this book but once I received it I was disappointed that most of it contains recipes for foods. The History part is great however.
