Description

If you're on a first-name basis with your barista but haven't perfected (or even attempted) making café-quality coffee at home, let Brew show you the way. In this approachable guidebook, author and coffee expert Brian W. Jones demystifies specialty coffee's complexities, teaches you how to buy the best beans and brewing equipment, offers in-depth primers for mastering various slow-coffee techniques (including pour over, French press and moka pot), and supplies you with dozens of recipes for invigorating coffee-based drinks and cocktails. Brew isn't a book for coffee professionals, but rather an indispensable and accessible guide for any specialty-coffee lover who wants to make better coffee at home. Read more

A Comparison of Two Coffee Books: Brew vs. Craft Coffee
To improve my home brewing and coffee knowledge, I picked up a couple of books. After reading both, this is my impression of each and how they are different from each other. To sum it up, Brew is a beginner-oriented guide with great photos, and Craft Coffee is both a beginner and intermediate level guide that contains a wealth of information but no photos. Craft Coffee: A Manual • Overall a 201 type of book – more detail and coverage of coffee beans, equipment, brewing, flavors, etc. • Great walkthroughs of different brewing methods; has more brewing methods than Brew, including details on different pour over methods • More science-oriented information, but still approachable to most people • Much more detail than Brew on coffee origins and their characteristics, why coffees taste the way they do, and a more detailed breakdown of brewing equipment and how best to operate it • No photos, no color graphics Brew: Better Coffee at Home • Overall a 101 type of book – simple, straightforward information about specialty coffee • Great photos and useful beginner-oriented graphics; has the feel of a coffee table book • Things that it has that Craft Coffee doesn’t: flash chill method, beautiful color photos, recipes (including cocktails) • Lumps the pour over brewing method into basically one category (apart from Chemex) and doesn’t provide detailed information about how to brew using different pour over methods I read Craft Coffee first, and because of that I breezed through Brew in about 30 minutes because Brew 1) has much less text and 2) Craft Coffee already covered almost everything that Brew contains. So, if you’re the type of person that just wants the basics to step up your home brewing game, then Brew is probably the better option. If you’re looking for a more comprehensive guide to home brewing and coffee in general, then I recommend Craft Coffee for the reasons detailed above. I think Craft Coffee has everything you need in a guide to better home brewing, whereas Brew might leave some people wanting for more information and detail in several areas. As such, I give Brew 3.5 stars. ... show more

Gorgeous Photos!
The media could not be loaded. I wanted a helpful coffee book with recipes, tips, etc to help me improve my morning cup of coffee. Having beautiful photos was also important to me since it's being used as a coffee table book. If you're the same, I highly recommend this book!

Great complement to other coffee books
This is a perfect companion to other coffee books you might have or for those who are new to coffee and just want some general information. It does not go in depth about the history of coffee or roasting methods or anything like that, but that's fine; it's actually a strength. It is concise and to the point with its information about beans, brewing methods, and tools. It focuses on how to brew coffee in a variety of ways with general and step-by-step instruction for any level. I have been using a French Press for a long time with different results (How long do I brew it? Is this coarse enough or should it be less so? Do I mix immediately or let it steep and then mix? and so on) and would constantly find myself online looking for guidance from any site or person to remind me. With this book, I have a go to source that is quick to check and very clear. It also gives me insight into the other brewing methods that I have wondered about but have been too lazy to look into. The recipes in the back look interesting, and I might try some someday, but for now, the coffee itself is fine. I may even start drinking it sans milk now. ... show more

Yes, you should buy this!
Bought this book for a Christmas gift to my husband a few years ago -- we constantly are using it to this day! Beautiful layout of the process behind coffee, different techniques, and recipes. Great gift for the coffee lover in your life and a wonderful addition to your "recipe" book section at home. ... show more

Good read for a coffee book
I saw this book at Peet's one day and couldn't wait to buy it. It gives you some history on the different methods of brewing, straightforward instructions, an unbiased opinion of them and some fun recipes that range from your normal morning brew to an afternoon aperitif.
