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

  • Great!
Format: Paperback
This is a great book. It has all the information you need for making nice espresso drinks. Beans, grind, extraction, drink recipes it’s all there. Also a great section about latte art, this is what I was looking for. Is it a professional level book, well maybe not but it’s a great place to start!

  • Buen libro
Format: Paperback
Tiene recetas bastante ricas, he hecho varias y he modificado algunas y salen muy buenas. Me encanta el libro, me hubiera gustado mas recetas sin tantas salsas dulces pero nada que no se pueda cambiar según los gustos

  • Very informational
Format: Paperback
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.

  • Well written basic recipe book
Format: Paperback
This book is well written for covering the basics. This is especially essential for anyone getting a new espresso machine. It even has a section on the doing the designs in the foam on top.

  • Pretty, but not much there between the covers
Format: Paperback
I really want to love this book, but it just doesn’t have the information I’m looking for. It’s stylish and pretty, but kind of light on content. I should have gone for a more verbose tome.
