    • Grear, but not a complete guide.
Format: Paperback
Awesome read, especially for a beginner getting into roasting their own coffee. It was easy to read and very informative. I hate to have to give it a 4 star, but it left out a very crucial part to coffee, the grind.

    • Method and Madness
I have been buying coffee from Len Brault since 2006. My UPS driver saw that I had just purchased an espresso machine and suggested that I go down the street and visit Len. At the time, he was working out of a basement office space in a medical and lab building. No windows, a little creepy and weird. I think there was a sign on the door that said Clockwork Commerce. What does that have to do with coffee? I knocked, Len opened the door and we started talking about coffee. The room was filled with coffee that he was importing from Vietnam and the Philippines. He asked me what kind of coffee I liked. I knew that I liked espresso, but I completely lacked the vocabulary to even try to communicate what I wanted. He translated my gibberish into a taste profile and gave me a bag of a Vietnamese espresso blend. He talked about front palate and back palates. I started to call Len "Coffee Yoda" in my head. I smelled the coffee he told me to buy and it smelled like chocolate mocha sauteed in butter. WTF? I thought it was flavored coffee initially. Len gave instructions about how to figure out how to make the coffee with my equipment. And he explained that I needed to experiment and take notes. The message was: "Make better coffee with science." It was the best espresso I had ever had even with my consumer machine. The Coffee Roaster's Handbook is like talking to Len. I am not sure when Len started roasting and blending exactly, but I realized that he was really good at it when he recreated that Vietnamese espresso I mentioned earlier himself, after a family feud ended the production of the blend in 2009. His version has the same body and taste profile, but turned up to 11. I feel like I now have the vocabulary to really talk about coffee after reading the book. There is a very good explanation of the whole process from choosing beans to cupping and recording the results. He provides a method for exploring roasting and quantifying and recording the results. I am not going to pursue roasting myself because I want to continue to be married. Fortunately for me, Lens Coffee is only 10 minutes away. ... show more

    • A lot of help for me through my coffee roasting journey
Format: Paperback
I really like this book,, it's been a lot of help for me through my coffee roasting journey. If things don't get too bad, although it's not looking good, I'll be getting some of the different types from the Philippines, Liberica, and Excelsa sound like something useful in finding the perfect blend for a good strong espresso. So far my favorite blend is Vietnamese Robusta, and a Brazilian peaberry both French roasted. I've also discovered some great tasting beans from Guatemala, and Nicaragua. I'll have to try to stock up while I can before everything gets a LOT worse than it already has. Wishing everyone the best of luck in their roasting journey, and life ... show more
