cadenceblur Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Can anybody recommend some good coffee related literature?
V12man Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Can anybody recommend some good coffee related literature? Yes.... Illy book is a must read, but deadly expensive... http://www.amazon.com/Espresso-Coffee-Second-Science-Quality/dp/0123703719/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1399371440&sr=1-1&keywords=espresso David Schomer's book is good, if a little anal retentive at times. http://www.amazon.com/Espresso-Coffee-Professional-David-Schomer/dp/0897166159/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1399371440&sr=1-6&keywords=espresso And Scott Rao is also very good. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?_encoding=UTF8&field-author=Scott%20Rao&ie=UTF8&search-alias=books&sort=relevancerank HappyMartin 1
V12man Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 The Scott Rao one looks like the one to get. He has a few good youtube videos out too - The one to have really is the Illy book - it's huge and covers just about everything. Scott also contributes a fair amount on home-barista.com, and his work is good, but relatively lightweight compared to the first 2 - Schomer used to be regarded as the god of coffee in the US, still highly regarded these days, but probably less of an icon than he was 10 years ago as the coffee scene has exploded.
HappyMartin Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 That Illy book is $95 as an ebook!!!!! That's a lot of beans. Must admit I'm tempted
V12man Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 That Illy book is $95 as an ebook!!!!! That's a lot of beans. Must admit I'm tempted Buy it in hardcopy - it's a coffee table book for sure... I lent mine to my brother a couple of years ago.... hasn't come back yet... Fortunately his kids are less likely to destroy it than mine....
