Coffee Obsession: More Than 100 Tools and Techniques with Inspirational Projects to Make Hardcover – June 16, 2014

I basically wanted a coffee recipe book as I am working on a project for my Facebook album and found this a treasure to pick up. Most of the preparation methods I have already used, yet it is nice to still see what is out there, as well the number of various recipes and in my opinion, takes you a lot higher than a Starbucks.I also find the information on coffee and the locations it comes from very interesting and that too makes this book a great reference. Well organized and laid out with plenty of illustrations. I consider this book to be a bargain.

This is a perfect gift for someone who likes making coffee that is better than something you would have in the office.The topics in this book include machines and equipment used for brewing, coffee bean quality, geographical information of coffee beans all over the world and the typical flavor they yield, some really interesting recipes for coffees (ranging from hot, cold, and alcoholic brews), and some tips preparing the artisan coffee.It is literally everything you need to know to get started with brewing coffee. My friend really enjoys this book. The drawings are very clear and very informative.

Aside from the book being very informative, I received this book in like new condition from the bookseller. The price was extremely reasonable and shipping was prompt ! Bravo ! (I recently received a fairly expensive kitchen appliance with a big new recipe book. That book was damaged.) Whomever shipped this used coffee book should be commended.

This book has a little bit of everything about coffee. A little history. A little on the tools and methods for roasting and brewing. A little about coffee producing countries. A lot of recipies. I liked reading the informational and instructional parts and skimming the reference sections, but ended feeling hungry for more information on all of these. As an "intro to" book, it more than satisfies it purpose.

Really good book. I like the history and techniques shown in the book. Also the vast amount of recipes. I'm sure you could google them all but it's nice to have a physical book to look at. The pictures are great too.

Uber comprehensive! I purchased as a gift for my boyfriend, who is not only a coffee aficionado, but a new coffee shop manager. I love that it has a huge selection of recipes as well as a guide to origins of aaaallll of the coffee around the world. It looks great, and it’s fun to flip through, referencing or reading for pleasure.

The authors did a wonderful job doing background research to create this book. I would recommend reading the intro/background, then use other sections as needed when choosing beans (I.e. geographic sections) or creating a new brew. I commend the authors for their hard work putting this together!

This is a really nice gift for anyone interested in coffee. Great design, photo and overall impression...
