Description

In this full-color guide for coffee lovers, renowned latte artist and barista Hiroshi Sawada offers step-by-step instructions on how to make more than fifty delicious coffee drinks—lattes, americanos, cappuccinos, espressos, mochas, and more! There’s nothing like a good cup of coffee in the morning, right? Most people simply buy their espresso, latte, or macchiato from their local coffee shop and be done with it. To others, however, their morning cup of coffee is more than just a swipe of a credit card and a quick energy boost—it’s an art form. Including recipes for some of the popular drinks in this world—and world-class tips from Sawada himself, this coffee compendium is the premier guide for aspiring baristas and amateur home brewers alike. These invaluable skills can be applied either at home or in a professional setting—helping even the most seasoned barista hone their craft. In addition to the recipes, learn the intricacies of the pour, about the different varieties of beans and how to store them, and all the crucial elements necessary to make the perfect cup. Read more

My sister and I bought this book in hopes of starting a new business venture in the world of espresso, and we were just taken aback how informational this book was, and how it does actually take you step by step through the process of making espresso at home.

Great explanations of the basics - whys and techniques. Very good diagrams showed the differences between weak and strong-tasting espresso and smooth and bitter-tasting espresso. I especially liked the recipes and ideas presented for espressos and related coffee drinks.
